    17 pounds lost....

    in my first 31 days plus 1150 pushups that, if i hadn't come here, i may not have done that many for the rest of my life!!

    and i was far from perfect. i had a bachelor party......you can read all about that one buried in these posts somewhere. i was bad. and then there was the wedding..i don't think i mentioned that really, but again i was bad. then thanksgiving......i even had a peice of pecan pie!! i was bad.

    but i kept my focus and got through with a little help from everyone here. i thank you all!! looking forward to a great december and i will be involved in the pushup challenge again and the squat challenge (will be starting on dec 4th).

    today i purchased dr atkins new diet revolution 2002 edition and the biggest loser fitness program (something like that). so all that is moving in the right direction, too.

    and even further, i have added a dozen or so really great people to my friends list on my myspace page.....

    i just love ADBB!!

            Imagine how much more you would have lost if you had been good.
            now that the precursory is out of the way


            GREAT JOB ON THE LOSS CHRIS!

                        What I know:
                        1-Atkins WOE/WOL plan works
                        2-I need to always work on the behaviors and triggers that make me over eat.
                        3-Atkins WOL is part of the puzzle, but is not the entire thing.
                        4-Self-deprecation only feeds our inner ego and not in a good way.

                            i have had quite a few diversions....over the past month. and realistically....the road ahead will not be perfect.....getting through december and all those work related and other holiday get-togethers with friends and family.....its gonna be tough. but my feet are firmly planted and i have focus even when i drift of course. so getting back on track is not so difficult for me. and all the exercise...well, i just get it done!!!
