Just a measly two days until weigh in #3! I am looking forward to it with baited breath like I always am. I always hope for at least staying the same weight, but pray for continued loss of weight! Tune in Tuesday for Week 3 Results. Anywho...
The past couple weeks we have been planning out the following week's meals on Sundays for our next full week Wednesday through Tuesday. This has been a tremendous help! Also, just builds up my anticipation for the following week's meals and by the time I get to them I am crazy anxious to get a taste! Let me tell you we have an exciting week of meals planned. Though, keep your pants on, you will have to wait for pics and descriptions of the meals till next week.
Since I have kept a steady weight loss trend, I want to incorporate a workout regimen to keep this up and keep my body energized. This way I might avoid a plateau. But if I hit one, it definitely will not kill my motivation. I am pretty excited these days about keeping this going. I have to be honest, those first couple weeks are the most difficult but when you stick with it, it absolutely starts to become routine, or habit. I am about 9 weeks away from beating my personal best in eating healthy/working out. The next 9 weeks will be crucial for me to solidify these habits and prove to myself and everyone (including you!) that Jocelyn and I are doing the lifestyle change for real this time. It has to be done for the betterment of our lives and for a long and sustained healthy future. Big key to our success, at least in my opinion, is to have a major goal that you are striving for. Not shorter term goals like losing X amount of weight, being able to run that marathon, being able to bike that mountain trail. More like, having a healthy happy body so one could have the strength to raise children, and be around a long time for them. Then tailoring intermediate goals to get you to that end goal to make it fun and give you bits of motivation and sense of accomplishment along the way. This at least is one thing that keeps me going. But of course, having Jocelyn staying with it with me and keeping me strong has been absolutely paramount to my continued success, I hope I provide the same for her.
Well I will stop boring everyone with my dribble :) On to more exciting things!

Michael OUT!
