okay this week was a tough one………..I lost control over the weekend…………..the Easter Bunny got the best of me………….went out to eat Saturday and lets say I didnt order off the weigh watchers side of the menu……….I went for the triple saturated fat choices………….then ate candy while watching TV that night…….haven’t done that in 4 months………the Easter Sunday came and the Easter Bunny kicked my butt……….maybe 5000 plus calories on Sunday………..ate so much candy almost vomited………

so I was able to move my weght tracker this week……………but I did manage to lose 3/4 of a pound enough to keep my losing streak alive……….

Just wanted to wish all who beleive have a Happy Easter……………….and wish wellness to all those who have other beleifs……………Happy Spring………………now lets remember that chocolate bunnies are for kids and not adults……………..and stay out of the kiddies basket……….

Tomorrow I have the thrill of a lifetime………………..my first colonoscopy……….for all you young folk……………..there needs to be a whole lot of crapping the day before………the day before the test……………which is today………….I am not allowed to eat a morsel of solid food………..I have been on this planet for 49 years and there has not been a day……………where I didn’t stick a morsel of food in my mouth…………okay maybe when I was an infant……….but I don’t remember and that don’t count……….but then again………when I was born………..we did start eating pretty quickly……….I have been stressing about this day for months now……………tomorrow the test is early and not stressed about that at all………..well its now 230 pm and I haven’t died………I actually dont feel hungary at all………….this might not be bad as a I thought………..well sitting waiting for a bowel movemnent………….took a couple pills to bring one on…………….I’m not used to the pressure waiting for a movement……………guess my bowels are going to be shy…………then after the movement………..I get to drink 640z of some chalky substance………….and then I wont even go into what that effect is going to be……………sorry for the shi**y topic……………….but the more we share the bigger our growth is…………..to all have a nice day………….not sure if I will be able to blog in a little while……….

The streak is alive……………I made my decision on 12/14/2007………….that I will be transforming my body and my overall health……………I have lowered my blood pressure, heart rate and cholestrol………….and have lost at least one pound or more for 14 weeks…..this week I lost one pound………….what a great thing to lose a pound……….the weight is coming off slowly and the habits formed are easy………..trying to keep my streak alive……………14 is done…………now trying for 15…………

This streak is barely staying alive……………..lost one pound for the week………..but it does keep things alive…………did well with exercise and eating this week………this is my second week in a row with a one pound loss……….not going to tinker with my plan yet………but it might be time to start mixing things up………….will have to wait a week or two to figure that out………….

The simple man started his journey in 1958.  Born in
College Point, NY, he was the oldest of 5 children.  Simple Man’s dad was a bus driver who didn’t make enough money on one job and found himself working 2 and 3 jobs at a time.  Simple’s mom was a stay at home mom who did her best to clothe and feed 5 children.  Simple learned very early in his journey that you need to thankful for what you have and not to moan and focus your energy on things that he didn’t have.  On occasion when Simple decided to whine he was quickly told to shut up or a swift hand to the back of the head would snap him back to his senses.

            When one is simple that don’t put too much thinking to life and they sort of float through there life almost as though they are not controlling it, some outside source is usually the problem.  Simple was a mediocre student at best his mother would the same critique at parents teachers conferences “your son has the ability but he is just plan lazy and doesn’t apply himself”.  Simple never took school seriously and his goal in school was to entertain the class.   Early on in life Simple develop bad eating patterns there isn’t a vegetable he didn’t puke up and spit on his plate, there were endless ours of him sitting at the dinner table refusing to eat.  Simple man always reaches for the immediate pleasures and doesn’t have the patience to consider the consequences of his actions, he might even realize at the time and still opt for the instant gratification.

            Simple man doesn’t worry about problems because he feels that he can handle anything and can be defiant at times.  In the fifth grade, Simple got in trouble for not doing his homework.  Mrs. Schraldi was a mean ass teacher, when you was pregnant she had an uncontrollable urge for sweets, she made us open our lunch boxes to see what sweets we had and ask you if she could have it.  One day I had a chocolate Twinkie and this bloated witch came and inspected my lunch box and when she saw the Twinkie she licked her lips and said “who I love these do you mind if I eat it” Simple was furious but how does a ten year old tell a fat cow no you can’t have it he simply shrug’s “go ahead”.

I fantasized at night how could jump her in the parking lot and beat the living piss out of her.   Simple was faced with the dilemma of writing 1 copy of his weekly reader which was the equivalent of 5 loose leaf pages, once he got home from school he rushed through is homework and decided he wasn’t going to do the punishment.  Well the cow was very upset the next day and increased the punishment to 3 copies and then the next to 5 copies and finally to 10 copies which would have been 50 handwritten loose-leaf pages at this point there is no way Simple was going to do this.   She asked everyday for the punishment and everyday he would simply shrug “ain’t got it” her nostrils would start flaring and she had these beady eyes that were caked with black eye make up and had the nerve to wear mini-skirts and go-go boots and she would start hyper-ventilating because I know she wanted to smash his wise ass into the wall, this day however she did not ask for the punishment.   She forgets to ask for the punishment and in Simple’s mind he leaves school quietly and he think’s he has one the battle.  Back then catholic schools had half days on Wednesdays and he was home and the phone rings he picks up the phone and on the other end is Mrs. Schiraldi she demanded to know where his punishment was Simple replies it’s in my desk I will give to in the morning.  Mrs. Schiraldi says “get yourself back to school and give me that punishment this afternoon”.  Simple starts on the ¾ mile trek to school and he started to get nervous he suddenly realizes that he has done it this time.  When he arrives at school Mrs. Schiraldi and Sister Mary Elephant are waiting for his arrival.  They both start badgering Simple and ask him “well go get the punishment”, he goes over to his desk leafs through his binder and feigns a bewildered puzzled look and exclaims “wow somebody stole my punishment”.  Both become inflamed and start to attach him with questions and he stick to his story.  Sister Mary Elephant stands tall at about 5’8” and weighs in at 250, her face becomes the color of a cherry tomato and looks brighter in contrast with her black veil and white robe.  She grabs by the ear and drags to the elevator and out the door to Mrs. Schiraldi’s car.  They throw me into the back seat of Mrs. Schrialdi’s Beatle and Sister starts to interrogate him further.  She declares that she is speaking on behalf of the lord and asks Simple “you look me and the eye and remember that you are now talking to the lord” Simple gathers his courage up and stares the good Lords surrogate right in the face and says “I told you 100 times that someone stole it from my desk”.   Hell have no fury the holy nun flew into an uncontrollable rage and started pummeling him crashing punches from the front seat her arms were flaring spittle was coming from her mouth her face was now the color of fire engine red and she continued to beat him for the entire ride home.    

Yipee I lost one pound this week……….this is the best 1lb I have lost………it kept my losing streak alive………….I didn’t deserve to lose a pound but I will take it…….it started last Thursday…………..for dinner ate 13 Raviolis…………Friday night had supreme nachos……….cheeseburger and home made potato chips……..Saturday didn’t get any better………..had potato chips and a 5 scoop sundae………..Sunday I continued……..sausage and peppers with a better part of a loaf of Italian bread and ate potato chips again……….got back to my plan and Monday and was able to get my one lb loss on my weigh in day………I really feel like I dodged a bullet this week and this weekend it is my goal to stay on plan………..with only slight deviations 

My streak is Alive!!!!!!! 

This is for only for buddies that live in a climate where you get to experience the 4 seasons.  It hit me this week, the winter is starting to wear me out.

I am getting depressed, it is a seasonal depression that happens during the 2 extreme seasons that is winter and summer.  I have been doing great on my plan eating really healthy and exercisinng twice a day.  This week I just couldn’t get up early and get the energy boost to start my day.  If I exercise I can shower and get my daily packing done in 20 minutes, if I dont get some exercise that chore takes about 40 minutes and I forget half the stuff I need to do. 

So I really want this winter to be over sick and tired of being cold, I want to start an outdoor routine but need the weather to change.   I am getting stoked to have the spring start and jump start a further weight loss. 

I do have 11 straight weeks of losing weight, this week might  be a slight reveresal of that trend.  Doing much less exercise and my eating habits have slipped this week.  Last night went out to eat and had no will power ate the extreme nachos and had a burger with home made potato chips.  Well at least it was worth it those chips were completely outrageous. We will see if I am still saying that on WID (weigh in day which is Wednesday).  At least I have identified was is going on and hopefully change things around.

Are there any other seansonal depression sufferors out there?
