Day 16, Monday May 3rd

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. "
Mark Twain

Some general food for thought... success is all about momentum because through momentum we build better habits and therefore new neuro-networks in the brain. As we develop new habits old connections break away and eventually you PREFER the new choices that we created... this is the new mind, the new you and through THAT PROCESS comes your new body. The art of self-sabotage is an old one, many have been there and done that way too many times... so if insanity is doing the same thing over and over again yet expecting a different result then guess what? It won't happen.
"I never said it would be easy... I said it would be WORTH IT."
Many of you have broken through, some are still struggling, for those still struggling hopefully Sunday will get you over the hump. Until then, don't find another OLD reason to fail, find a NEW reason to succeed.

  4. I'm back! Quick story, I was away on business last week. I ate as best I could, avoided simple carbs as much as possible, but was not perfect. No exercise either. The day after I got home I reluctantly stepped on the scale to assess the damage. I LOST a pound! Holy cow.

  31. Ok, was a little off for Monday, but, here it is anyway;

    fruits;
    - apple
    - tangerine

    proteins;
    - 8 egg whites
    - 1 cont shrimp
    - 1 cont mixed (steak & salmon)

    carbs
    - 2 sweet potatos w/cinnamon (no butter)
    - croutons on salad (just a few)

    fats
    - 3 egg yolks
    - caesar dressing on salad
    - shaved cheesed on caesar

    Steak/Salmon, salad & sweet potatos were at Longhorn. Wasn't supposed to be a cheat meal. Drank unsweetened iced tea & water.

    I may have fell short on carb & fat for the day, but I think that salad dressing may have made up for it.

    Gonna get back in the groove for Tuesday.
