The end?

No, this is not THE end. This leg of the journey however, has come to an end. The measure of success in this journey was via the scale, for the goal was to lose weight. Achieving less poundage was but part of the attack to lower blood pressure, improve cholesterol numbers, and ease pains in my knees. The better eating habits, coupled with consistent exercise resulting in decreased poundage has had a positive effect on blood pressure readings, and I am experiencing less knee pain. In a few months I’m scheduled for a full lipid panel and the hope is the cholesterol number is good enough to avoid medications. Further, the blood pressure meds can be ceased at that point as well…if I stay this course, so says the doc.

So no, this is not the end, not by a long, long shot. There is more work to do, more weight to lose, more worlds to conquer.

Ok, maybe that’s too much. What about a healthier self? Yeah, that’s the ticket. The journey continues. It's not a diet, it's a lifestyle.

. . . well, a slammin’ bod wouldn’t be bad either. hehehehe

This has been an amazing journey, and thanks to this group I've sustained much longer, and with better results than any previous effort. Awesome!

Cheers to all, and the very best to you in your own quest.

Or in other words: these three things. The three things: a. ate less. I suppose I could have done more, that is to say ate less more, or ate even less, more or less. Point is a concerted effort to eat less was made.


b. Moved more and by moved that is to say walked. And by more that is to say, much. The actual count is not known due to a faulty pedometer battery. But suffice to say more movement was made.

c. Didn’t drink any alcohol. Well, didn’t drink much alcohol.

I trust greater gains or rather, losses can be made by decreasing even more a, increasing even more and varying b, and decreasing even more c or to put it another way, formula D I D


Yowzah, Yowzah, Yowzah!
