Hi JZ
I just breezed through your journal and it is very inspiring. You are doing great....I live north of Mi border and my dtr goes to U of Toledo (can you believe they beat michigan). I too am reluctant to say that I am a Lions fan...even though right now i think toledo can beat them too..but I cant help myself for liking them....
Anyway, I just saw in the Michiganians thread that you were from S of Toledo and I thought I would breeze in and say hi. Glad I did...makes me wanna go buy an applepear and a jumprope.
Have a great week

Great job JZ! It's so exciting that you've accepted this as a new lifestyle and see it as something you can do forever! You are awesome!Soccer Tournament weekend.....
I was very concerned about going out of town for this with my new lifestyle of healthy eating and excercise...
Turns out, things were pretty easy!! I ate great, spent a shit ton doing so, but was easy to order the grilled _________, and mixed steamed veggies. I even squeezed in 30 minutes on a treadmill at the Hotel gym. It was empty, so my kids had a good time crawling all over everything!!! Complete ZOO, but I cleaned it when I was done![]()
!! I feel great!!! I know I can do this forever, and that feels awesome!! Officially weighed in today (MON), and the scale said I had lost .4 pounds. This is so small, I'm not updating my ticker, but it was great to know I didn't lose any of the progress I had made up to this point!!! Having a great Day 22 so far... I'll post officially later!

wow JZ, you're my hero. Great job with your food choices and getting in the 30 minutes on the treadmil. you rock!!!
and you're still kicking my a$$ on the christmas challenge....

Yup. take it for all it's worth and run with it JZ. Once you've plateaud a bit some time from now, you'll be wishing it would still go like this.
BTW, Stop over my diary when you get a chance and kick my ass for falling off the wagon this weekend. You promised to, so I expect it...
heard today they are probably going to announce a trade tomorrow..maybe kitna and williams...to cowboys.
my dtr is studying sports training at U of T....she likes it ...nice campus too...
Just KIDDING!!!! That is a very cool field of study. I have a few friends that took that then went into physical Therapy. There are quite a few directions she can go with that major.JZ,
Hope all is well. Enjoying the hockey season so far? The Bruins are surprising me a little and playing well. I dont think that will last too long.
I saw your post about hitting a plateau. Sometimes you'd be surprised how long it could take. Keep kickin ass on your workouts and eating and you'll keep losing.
Keep up the good work.
Matt

Hey JZ!Stoppin' in to see how you are this morning!

thanks for the pass on the a$$ kicking for this weekend. I'm all kinds of proud of myself for shoving my way through that workout even though I didn't want to. and hey, you're part of the reason why I did it. fear of JZ shit talking.works like a charm.
Hope you're having a good day today. and don't forget your cardio mister.
