For Me

Just a reminder, Kevin.

Yes, you struggled a little over the weekend. It happens. But focus on the positives.

You topped the 80 pound lost mark today. Might not seem like a big deal to some, but you know how proud you felt when you saw that number. Eighty pounds is even more amazing when you remind yourself that you had no gym, no trainer, no in-home weights, two kids to watch, and tons of personal issues you had to fight through.

Your BP is PREFECT. You were a 29-year-old father taking BP meds to keep you from having a heart attack. Now your BP couldn't get any better if you tried. 118/78! You deserve some praise for that. To go through the kind of stress your family is going through, and to be able to change your life to that extent is amazing. Don't let anybody make you think otherwise.

You set out to lose .32 pounds per day for 76 days. That is a lofty goal. You weren't sure you could do it, and I'm sure others had their doubts, too. Yet, after 11 days, and after a weekend in which you weren't perfect, you sit here today still BEATING the .32. You're losing .39 pounds per day, man. That's ANOTHER impressive feat.

And, don't look now, but you are UNDER 20 pounds from your original goal of 260. You lose another 19.95 pounds, and you've achieved what you thought was impossible 9 months ago.

Don't beat yourself up over two bad meals. Don't blame yourself for a pulled back muscle that is limiting you. Don't let a lack of interest from others slow you down.

You're doing this for you.

So do it.
