Good Monday afternoon,
From the picture I'm sure most of you can tell where my wife and I were this past weekend - yes, Niagara Falls. When I last communicated on Friday I weighed 187.8 and I have to admit I was a little concerned about going away and taking my own advice about how to stay focused while travelling. I gave myself an "in-my-face" talking to and proceeded to execute the game plan. I focused on two things: the portion size and eating the right things. I had two excellent steak dinners, but limited the portion to about 5 ounces. I had salad (dressing on the side and used about a third), vegetables, and iced tea. Breakfasts were eggs and bacon with no bread or potatoes, and lunches were salads.
The end result was that when I got on the scale this morning I weighed 187.6 and I'll gladly take the .2 loss.
We did a lot of walking between the Fallsview Casino, Niagara Falls itself, and a great trip to Niagara-on-the-Lake - about 30 miles north of Niagara Falls. All in all, a fun trip that allowed me to continue the momentum of losing weight. Now it's pedal-to-the-metal to get rid of the remaining excess!
Here's a fun thing to do. If you're interested in finding out how long you'll live based on your past and current lifestyle, then go to: http://www.sonnyradio.com/realage3.swf and check this out. It is a great test that will show the affect of your current lifestyle on your longevity. It will also point out key areas, where by making some small changes, you can make a significant and positive impact on your longevity.
I've mentioned before that nutrition plays a key role in the weight loss process, because if your nutritional needs aren't met on daily basis your body starts to crave things and that usually means a bad thing for weight loss.
Tomorrow I want to introduce another topic that can be extremely detrimental not only to weight loss, but to your overall health as well - toxic chemicals in the home, and how to get rid of them.
So until tomorrow, in the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson, "most of the shadow of this life are caused by us standing in our own sunshine". Since we create most of our own obstacles, we are in the best position to remove them.
Have a terrific day and keep the great comments coming.
