This Really Is Pretty Simple Stuff

I think I'm starting to figure this stuff out. It's really pretty simple, you eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, drink lots of water, eat fish and chicken, whole grains and stay away from processed foods. A little daily exercise and you got a real plan to go by. How easy can it be? Well that sounds pretty easy, but, there always is a but right? When we let our heads get involved and tell us, I wish there was an easier way or I wish I could just take a pill for a quick fix then that is our downfall. Yeah we all want to take a pill, go to sleep, and wake up the next day skinny with muscles. Gee wouldn't that be nice. But we have to remember that with no work comes no reward. Hard work, yeah that what it really takes is hard work. With that hard work comes great rewards. Not only looking good but feeling good mentally, physically, and emotionally. Why? Because we worked hard and earned it. It's not just the final end result but the whole journey that makes us the better us. Well, I only lost 2 pounds this week. But you know what? Hey, I lost 2 pounds this week! That's right, I didn't gain. I worked hard all week and I feel good about losing 2 pounds. This week has been a wonderful chapter in the journey. I am also so lucky to have the most wonderful support team in my life there ever could be. My wife to start with has always been one of the best cooks I have ever known. Guess what, she still is, she can cook some of the healthiest low calorie meals that taste out of this world. She is also so supportive in other ways always spending compliments on me and working out right along side of me. I love you honey. Then there is my mother, she makes me feel so good about this journey, always bragging about me to her friends and relatives and telling them how much weight I've lost and how good I look. Thank you mother, I love you. Even my bratty little teenage daughter who used to like to sit at the diner table and say, um this butter is soooo good, when this all first started, now puts zero calorie butter spray on her vegetables. I'm am so proud of her. Also most of the people at work have been very supportive and pretty free with the compliments. This all really is pretty simple isn't it. So, keep on keepin' on.

Not so Fat man Out!
