    Primal Blueprint...I'm a believer.

    For the last 10 years, I've hammered out centuries rides, cycled a zillion miles until I was blue in the face. Started running last year fairly steady... BUT...all that did was in crease my appetite and NOTHING changed no matter how hard I worked out.

    For me, it is 'what you eat' that really matters.

    Since I read that crazy book, it has literally changed everything about how I eat and why. I can buy into this dudes philosophy and something finally makes sense to me, explains why my cholesterol is high, etc.

    I've changed the way I eat, and what I eat. Never feel gross after eating a meal anymore (unless I go fast fooding)...and I've dropped 20 lbs. Never have been able to do that in the past. And I'm a fairly active fellow.

    Fruits, veggies and meats. Carbs are of the devil.
    "Newton's First Law of Motion: ...things at rest tend to stay at rest. Things in motion, tend to stay in motion...."

    Hmm... Good motivation for me to remain active I guess.

          Well, I finally got a working scale, so I've done my first weigh in (albeit two weeks late). Now I have to get back to the gym.
          Not that, sickos.

            Checked in down another two lbs today. NOrmally I would say that's water weight, but I've been pulling long hours, eating sparingly, and when I have eaten, it has been salad and/or good proteins. Hopefully the weekend of golf and rivalry football won't set me back too much.

              So, welcome to the "Turkey Trot Weight-Loss Challenge" which begins on September 1 and ends on December 1.

              The challenge: to set a weight loss goal and maintain weight loss through these fall months of creamy soups, apple pies, and the week of Thanksgiving, with an added bonus of a few days after Thanksgiving for glutton repentance.

              Who is in?

              What's to explain? It's a bunch of people, most of whom you've never met, who are just as likely to be homicidal maniacs as they are to be normal everyday people, with whom you share the minutiae of your everyday life. It's totally normal, and everyone would understand.

                    I've been going to a personal trainer for the past few months a couple times a week and last week really ramped it up a notch. I'm excited to soon have those riley nelson abs I've always coveted. I've lost 13 lbs over the past month. Diet is everything. I'm no vegetarian by a good sight, but the doc "Fat, Sick, & Nearly Dead" has really changed the way I eat.

                      I'm going to New Orleans next week. I may not weigh in for awhile.

                        Someone needs to look at page 2. It is in Percentages.

                        One week in Utah..up 2 lbs. I am going to drop that stuff this week.

                          I managed to continue my progress, despite an extended weekend trip to Utah. Checked in this a.m. at 180.8.

                            I managed to keep things together this weekend and lose 2 pounds this week. I would like to lose weight quicker, but I'll take what I can get.
