Have a good evening!! This is just copied, but I want ed to get to everyone's diaries and don't have a lot of time. Just know I wish you well!
 
Hey T2, i know what you mean about weather being a pain in the butt :/
On my bike i can go either 55km(just over 30 mile an hour) per hour or 30km per hour just depending on which way the wind is blowing. Also i get blown around a bit.

Ugh !! if I get blown off this bike, I better call a contractor to put my roof back on !! lol just kidding, yeah same thing with walking, that wind bogged me down big time.

30 mph is pretty flippin' snappy !! damn !!
 
Sherri and I are sitting here reading about this movie coming out today called: Fast Food Nation and I had to quote this:

“We take Joe Camel off the billboard because it is marketing bad products to our children, but Ronald McDonald is considered cute,” says Brownell, director of the Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity at Yale. “How different are they in their impact, in what they’re trying to get kids to do?”

hmmmm....

and this guy says: As Schlosser put it at the preview, “I should warn you … this is a very dark film. But these are very dark times.”

LOL, I actually thought about trying that string thing, I guess I would know that it worked when I could actually see the string without bending over!
 
Hi Randers!! Just wanted to stop by and say your soup gets yummier in the freezer!! Oh my god - so good!! :D:D Thanks again for sharing!!

So I ready the first 10 or 12 pages of your diary (the picture on page 3 is very cute!! you should smile more!!!), you've come a long way baby!! Wow!! I'm going to start chapter 2 tomorrow..lol.

Have a super great night & woohooo for going back out for your ride!! Very nice!! :D:D
 
Damn thats an interesting story T2, you're getting right into the advocacy thing these days. Maybe you should offer to speak at schools or something. Try explaining a few basic facts to kids so they dont end up going through the crap we are trying to loose it.
 
Hey T2! It looks like you had some interesting stuff going on in here yesterday! Sorry I missed it. I wasn't feeling so swell. Anyway hope today turns out great for you. I'll be back sometime later to check in!:)

haha, funny you filled in the blank with 'that'. Glad you have your humor about yourself. I always keep myself open to lol at myself in the morbid obese stages or I woulda probably did myself ugly. Somehow, someway I knew I could get a grip on this obese monster if I really tried. My humor served me well during the wait.

Awww Peq, Have I given you a forum hug lately ?? {{{ Huggggggs }}} haha, I can't imagine anyone going through this train wreck of a diary but I suppose there's some good stuff in there.

When you get done, you'll have a story that will blow away millions !! and who knows, you might make millions for your effort but it will pale in comparison to restored and improved health - that's just priceless.

I believe in my heart you're gonna be one of the ones to succeed on this journey. :)

Probably not my calling in life however I did get invited to our Diabetes Self Help Group back in September to speak about my diet and medication reduction through weight loss and exercise. It went ok I guess.

I think this movie will hit the adults - and they're really the ones that need to see this movie - more than I can. Too many taxed-out parents with long working hours fall dependent of drive-thru fast food without regard to consequence to their children. We all know as parents if you raise a child this way they will continue doing it for a long time.

Correcting this problem in the USA will be part generational and part Corporate America Fast Food Industries offering up better foods - neither is likely though anytime soon. Government intervention will only mess it up even further -as per usual. When consumers hit the retailers in the wallet and stop eating this shit, they will correct the problem.

As for my walk, I adjusted as soon as I set foot outside. Weather took a threatening stance so I relinquished the trail idea - believe me, the trail is no place to be 2.5 miles out and get blasted with cold rain. I just zipped down the hill to the big track and fought high winds for 3 miles (brrrrr) and was going to press on for a bit longer when Mother Nature sent me home.

My discipline has allowed me to downgrade my 'front butt' to a 'pooch belly'. Seeing how it's the most prominent feature (and last to get rid of) I'm now seeing results, which I'm really happy about. At one point I thought lipo was the best option but I stayed strong with what I read online that continued diet and exercise will shrink the lower abdominal region eventually, it's holding to be true - ugh, patience is a mutha sometimes...

I took my first walk in XL sweatpants today and I liked the non-MC Hammer look even though I still need to wear my shirts on the outside to pick up that lil edge to cloak the 'pooch belly' a bit. Me vain ?? Ha !!

Good Morning and Wow Randy. Look at you getting in your exercise in spite of the elements. Isn't that a powerful feeling? When and why did you make exercise such an important part of your process? I'm so impressed with your determination and your commitment to it.

You know, I first tried exercise only. Didn't work. Then tried exercise and diet. Works phenomenally. Don't think diet alone works as well (guess I'll be trying that out soon until I get my sit squared away).

Have a wonderful Sunday! Don't you just love when the belly shrinks? Untucked shirts are our friends.....
 
Hey there...just wanted to drop in and say HEY!!! Im sorry but I am not reading back, to tired, to lazy and time restrictions...LOL...YEAH for being a mommy...

You dont seem to eat much is that healthy and or ok for you ???

*AHEM, Clears throat* This coming from me how stopped posting my eating because I am not eating much and dont wanna be lectured abt it, LOL...I just hope you take care of yourself as well on this journey...I think you are a great man, one can assume this from your diary *HUGS* <3<3<3
