Hello sport fans - we have arrived to day 29 and aside from waking up with a headache, which I believe is derived from lack of water or better yet not enough water. I can honestly tell you that I feel better than I have in years. I wake up each day feeling energized and excited. Most people feel this way because of the people around them - wife, children, husband, girlfriend, boyfriend, etc I know you need to love and enjoy yourself to feel good. Relying on others to make yourself feel good is just emotional attachments which can eventually destroy you - you would be a walking roller coaster ride - up one day and down another.
Anyway back to our reboot - I have a lot of salads and raw vegetables this week -- I was a little short on dollars this past week - so whatever I had in spare dollars went to purchasing inexpensive spinach salads - under $5 a day and some days no food at all just water. Just like Casey said the other day on his blog - after so many days on your reboot you will feel less hungry. I truly wasn't hungry this past week but folks don't do that -- you body really needs that nourishment. Don't be too proud like some people -- like me. Ask for help and stay true to your reboot. I have weighed in anytime this week - although last night I took a peek - I can tell you that looking at the scale everyday won't help you on an emotional, metal or sane level mindset. The reason I say this is that you will fluxiate all week -- just like a roller coaster - up, down and all around. Pick one day and time to weigh yourself and stick with or you will just set yourself up for disappointment.
Our official day 30 is tomorrow, ironically on my serving day at church. I expect to be fully energized and ready to serve and be under the 290 mark -- its been a real struggle to break that mark -- but just like in sales (which is what I do for a living) if you can find a way to cross that barrier - forget it and shoot past it. So now I'm going to aim for 280 for my short term goal. 220 is still my priority goal to hit before my 40th birthday. Will I do it sports fans? I will believe I will be there and that's all you need to know.
I officially went back on juice on Friday -- went back to the original Mean Green Juice recipe -- after Casey had another stone passing episode I felt we both needed to take a break from spinach. Well its still pretty early for me on this fine and very cool Saturday -- I never thought I would see the day living here in Georgia that mid September would yield cool days - if you have ever visited or lived here you would know its blazing hot almost until October. Very refreshing!
Work is good --and still receive plenty of lookers saying "wow what are you doing to loose your weight, are you still drinking that green slime?" I say sure and that everyone knows that slime is a major contributor to losing weight. Carl has been noticed at work just after a week feeling and looking a bit lighter - you can see in his face folks - come on after one week -- you go Carl!!!
I have a great conversations with customers, peers and family of my progress and I have many people wanted to try our reboot revolution -- my advice is to first start with Joe's 10 day reboot. It truly is the first step and test to see if you can stay true to the reboot - I have to say that the average person will not have enough will power to continue further that -- take it slow -- remember Joe did 60 days because he had is illness - and wanted to be rid of it -- healing takes time -- for most of us we are using this to lose weight - don't get me wrong I have lost more in one month then most do in two months. It does work - but just realize their is a lot of mental and emotional stuff working with this -- just be prepared.
I'm signing off now -- next post will have our results as we work ourselves to day 60.
Live the Reboot Revolution and Juice On!!!!
So when do we get a new update Brian??? It's been over a week dude! lol
