Day 67 and still 29 pounds gone
Day 67 and still 29 pounds gone
265/236/200 3-8-07 Got on my scale today and the indicator still hadn't gone below 236. At four this afternoon, my indicator on my office scale went to 235 but it's not official because it's not after I wake up in the morning. I hope it will be lower tomorrow, but if not, then it will be soon. I went up my little hill last night, puffing and panting, but much less of that now that I'm 29 pounds lighter. And some other exercises when I got home (some pushups, etc.). Had about 1000 calories yesterday and that is my goal. So far today I had two boiled eggs from 7-11 (I have never tried them there before - sure beats a lot of other things I have had from that place.) About the only other calories were skim milk in my coffee at home, and at my little Toastmasters speaking club meeting today, and also a little creamer in my coffee at work. (I've had about 4 or 5 cups of coffee today, 2 of them without any additives.) We are going to put on a local speaking group for those with minor brain injuries, to help people regain some of the communication skills they may have lost. Along with some brain injuries is hesitancy in speech, some word finding problems, sometimes increased emotionality and very much increased self-consciousness. It is terrible for a brain injury to take someone's voice away from him or her, but practicing speaking and communicating may be the best way to give them back those skills. I like that saying, "Speak your mind loudly even if your voice quavers in fear!" Kind of reminds me of the saying about Coach Vince Lombardi who asked his football players to sing solo at some of his dinners and he said that he particularly admired those with poor voices who sang loudly. "If you don't have a good voice then it really takes an effort to sing out," he said. I hope all of us will reach our goals and will continue to communicate our support for others who are on the same journey as we are, or who are thinking about joining it! The water is fine and we're reaching a healthier place! Yours truly, Caleb |
