It's Official..

This blog is gonna be about my weight loss journey. Well, I just weigh in yet again earlier today. 219 pounds. From 238 to 213 to 219 pounds! What??? Why?? Had a big meal, lots of water, a cupful of tea and another tall mug of shake. That's what.

This is gonna be a looooonnnggg exercise and diet and stuff. I'm getting better with swimming but I don't think it's healthy to be swimming at the rate I've been doing it. Why long you ask? The finals will be on the last month of October. I'm not exactly a big fan of Herbalife, there, I said it. But, my wife has been taking them and is actually selling and recruiting people to the fold. She swore by it and since I don't really have so much going as of the moment other than helping our modest ventures, I guess I'm gonna have to say "Why not?"

There isn't so much winning here. 5G's wouldn't suffice if you follow their nifty 'program' of taking their shakes in the morning and in the afternoon.Then there's some tea and all that supplements in between. The bragging right though would have so much more impact considering the pictures I saw earlier where people really went from being fat to fabulous! This is gonna be so much more challenging and coming out on top will be even more sweeter.

Part of the bigger picture in this challenge is really to help my wife with her business. I mean, normally I'm a rebel to following prescriptions and what's been laid out. So, this time around, I'm gonna go with the flow and fuse myself into their program. When I lose more weight, my wife will be able to sell more and convincingly at that because, again, why not? I'm the living proof that the supplement and the program works!

However, we know nothing works if the person is not going to man-up and put everything on the line. Ya gotta bump up the passion, dedication and the discipline to get what you want in life. I'm actually cheering myself up because I'm in that bump right now both in this contest and in my personal life. I hope this journey would also encourage you to get on with whatever you are going through and just keep inching forward with whatever you are aiming to accomplish in your life.

By the way, found some picture with some of the 13 contestants...

And the emcee ask what's the big secret, and I go, "just eat less and exercise more."

Really, nothing could have been more simpler than that. It's the process where things get a little bit more complicated.

Cheers!
