or even my second or third. But this time, I am by g*d gonna hang on until the buzzer sounds. I want that big fancy belt buckle and nothing's going to stop me from getting it.
I'm older, maybe wiser, and certainly a whole lot bigger than I was the first time I used Atkins back in the 1970's. It worked then, it's worked every other time I've used it for however long I stuck with it, and I know it'll get me where I want to go. The difference is that this time I'm going the whole way!
I probably won't post a lot - not much time - but I will try to update my progress and post major milestones.
I want everyone out there to know that I'll be thinking good thoughts for all of you and for me. We can do this.
"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
