after one week, the verdict is…
Weigh in day!
Drum roll please….
6lbs lost! Not bad! (see chart)I feel pretty good, my energy level feels good after dropping all of the sugar from my diet, and I can feel the excercise starting to take effect. Okay…this thing might work! My wife has started with me this week, and she is a HUGE part of my success this week.
Also, read a Newsweek article that gave me quite a bit of encouragement about a writing career (goal #2, if you remember). It says that it is one of the hottest careers of ‘09!
I need to concentrate a little harder on my sales job, though. I may have a dream of writing, but I have to pay the bills while I dream. I’m starting to feel a little stress because sales are slow (advertising sales), but I am changing my selling style. My trainer said to go with a laid back, gentle approach, but that hasn’t been working, so I’m going to tap into the inner carsalesman in me (I did that for 18 years!), and go old-school!
I feel good today.

AWESOME! Keep up the great work! That was sweet what you said about Shannon. She’s your lobster.
