This rush lasts 24 hours a day

What happens to us when we lose weight and we begin to stabilize at the new lower weight?

Down 10 pounds from a recent high of 166 (all time high was 173 back in the late ’80’s)

Have hovered in the 160 – 162 range for far too long. Couple years.

Two weeks at a new five year low of 156.

Thrilling.

While the rush of parachuting happens in a moment, the rush of being lean lasts 24 hours a day.

Every day.

What happens when we refuse to quit? Magic.

 

What happens when we refuse to quit?

Progress is made.

Finally down, and staying down, five pounds.

Still have six or seven to go before competition.

Man does it feel good.

Know the feeling?

Been waiting on this for nearly two years. Thought it would take two months.

He wondered how much he would weigh if he didn’t exercise at all and ate the way some of his friends ate.

He also wondered if he didn’t focus on rest like some of his friends, how much that would add to his weight.

And of course, there was the vision of how carrying around an extra 30, 40, 50, 60, 70+ pounds would affect his every move, his every thought.

Al Sharpton has lost 170 pounds. Saw him on Oprah last night (watched five minutes) as we were searching for which channel was televising the Seahawks versus the 49ers.

Looking at the photos throughout his life and looking at him now…

Wow!

What’s stopping any of us?

The Herd.

The Herd says, don’t become amazingly healthy, you’ll make the rest of us feel too much guilt.

Congrats to the Seahawks btw.
