A few weeks ago one of my good friends (and a lender partner of ours), Becky Craven, introduced me to a pretty intense health/weight loss system. The day we decided to begin the program, however, was the same day Jennifer was admitted to the hospital to have the twins. Well I knew that wasn’t going to work, so I pulled back. After all, hungry people are irritable, and that wasn’t a good time to be an a** in any capacity. Fast forward to today.
Two questions you probably have: 1) Who cares? Answer: Nobody. 2) Why are you blogging about this? Answer: ‘Putting it out there’ will apply competitive pressure and make me feel accountable to make it work.
Many of us have dabbled with weight loss programs. I get it. “Diets” don’t work because we gain it back. More accurately, we partake in a weight loss system in the pic above. You know, the diet whereby we drive up to the Chic-Fil-A window and yell into a speaker, “Yes please ma’am, I’d like a ‘Number 1’ with a Diet Coke.” Boom! For three stupid seconds you think, “I said ‘Diet Coke,’ so I’m going to look like a razor blade this afternoon.” HA!!
The only time I’ve lost a significant amount of weight is when I was on the Advocare program. Yep, I lost about 40 lbs in three’ish months and had my high school torso back. Not kidding. Then, President Bush outlawed ephedra. Boooooo! (BTW, that thin fella was who Jennifer thought she was going to marry one day!! HaHa #sad).
Anyway, here goes nothin’! One reason I told Becky I’d participate is because I don’t usually say “no” to friends. Moreover, I can improve on my frame (that’s the nicest way I could think to say that), and if this helps me kick start a good life trend then I’ll be ecstatic.
See you in 30 days with a progress report! Go.
