There is so much I could say about the last week. Mostly it's been a week of highs and lows. Certainly the low points were canceling a much anticipated wedding and bailing one of my beautiful childen out of jail and hearing another one might be headed there in short order...
The highs far outweigh the lows however. I'm healthy, I have a roof over my head and a job that enables me to provide that roof. It also happens to be a job I enjoy so that's a huge bonus. My increasing health and decreasing waistline is a plus as well. When I left Utah to come home I weighed myself on my sister's bathroom scale and it read 223lbs + change... I've been home a month now...4 weeks. Thanks to my wonderful (doesn't even come close to describing her) Personal Health Coach and following her program as close to the letter as a beer and bourbon drinking meat eating guy can...(NO BEER SINCE UTAAAAAH!!) I've managed to whittle away at my weight and waistline rather proficiently and haven't touched so much as a whiff of beer (in its bottled state) or bourbon or Irish Whiskey since I've been home.
Today after an hour on the eliptical trainer I stepped on the scale at the gym...it read: 204.something-something lbs. That's nearly 20 lbs since coming home from Utah. I have my evolving and progressing and continuing education about foods and what they can do for me to thank for it and of course the brains and beauty beind it...You Coach! Thank you for everything; for lovingly teaching me about food and how it can make me better, heal me, strengthen me and even slow or reverse to some degree the aging process. And for just showing me unfeigned love period. I am so blessed. If I live another 72 years, I will have carved upon my headstone: "The First 48 Years Were My Fault, The Last 72 I Have My Personal Health Coach To Thank For. Thanks For Helping Me Outrun the Grim Reaper For More Than a Century!" or words to that effect.
I'm so excited. Going to make stuffed avacado now. I love you Coach!!! ThankyouThankyouThankyou!!!!!!!

Ah Mark,
ReplyDeleteHere I am blushing. You give me way to much credit. You've lost 5 lbs. a week since you last saw your family in Utah. That is wonderful!
Isn't it great to eat healthy food and it tastes great too? Your taste buds are waking up and loving the new food. Your whole body is feeling the change for the better. Isn't it such a huge happy feeling?
You will definitely outrun the Grim Reaper if you eat Astrology powder every day. In fact you'll live longer than the stars! I love you too Mark!
You're Welcome!!!
