At just 2 weeks into ETL, Amy and I have lost over 10 lbs, cummulatively. Take a look at that.... I love a visual that shows just what our hard work is accomplished. My prayer is that this is fat we will never, ever see again. This week, we should pass 15 lbs. Look at that disgusting shit. Now mind you, Amy is fit, so she doesn't have the obesity issues that I do, but this is also so very healthy for her. Anytime, we can eliminate this crap from our insides (it literally crushes our organs), we are doing ourselves an invaluable service. 2 weeks in, and I feel fucking great. Why do I ever stray? Other than putting on this kind of weight to begin with, my biggest regret is that I didn't start this a couple of months ago, so that I could go into 40 feeling a lot better, physically, than I will. I want to climb a fucking mountain. I want to do things I've never done before. I wish I could wake up at 40, and think, I'm in the best shape of my life. That won't happen. But what will happen, is I'll wake up feeling, physically good (mentally I'll be a fucking wreck), and I'll know that I'm treating my body like it should be treated. It's truly never too late to start. If you haven't begun your journey yet, hop on board! It's lifechanging!
Oh, a couple of you had asked about cookbooks, and some tips. I've added some new sidebars w/ that info. I'll keep adding as time goes on. I'm kinda flying by the seat of my pants on this. I've also asked Amy to weigh in on some ideas as well. She has a lifetime of making the right choices.
P.S. When did we become too old to give hickeys? No, not the gross kind you'd see on kids in h.s. Weird thought, but it's been on my mind lately. I may have to tattoo Brian one of these days (somewhere where our kids won't see. lol)
Thanks for being here my friends.
Love ya,
Jen
