Just as I always have I got on the scale one day, it's not that I was happy with my weight or even content, I just made excuses and felt bad about myself. So this one day I get on, I see that I am 4lbs heavier than EVER! So I went out and ate at my favorite Thai restaurant. It was so delicious! The next day I decided I would start using that gym membership again, you know the one I got 3 years ago, used for a year, lost 50lbs, quit going, kept paying for membership. A week later I was feeling alright, I started tracking what I was doing and what I was eating. Then I talked to a customer of mine, he told me about paleo and Adkins. So I went home and researched them. I decided that it was smart, everything I read and saw made sense. I am now about 8 weeks into what I like to call "as close to paleo as I can be". I'm not going to lie I love cheese so I do occasionally eat a bit in moderation! My life has changed so much! I feel amazing, I feel sexy, I'm not sexy... maybe. My boss advised me to talk to someone at the gym. I said,"um, have you ever been to a gym? You don't talk to people at the gym." What a silly guy. So, I talked to someone at the gym, Debbie, yup she's my gym partner now! We weight and circuit train, we hit up the treadmill together, she is teaching me to play racquetball, what the heck is racquetball! I cannot grasp the concept of playing a game that happens behind me. I can't react! I am progressing though, that's all that really matters, actually today I rocked it for two minutes! As of now I have lost 33lbs since March 12! And I know what you have been waiting for, the best part! I can wrap a normal towel around myself, not a beach towel or large towel, a NORMAL TOWEL! Call me crazy but I love that part!
