It's not the refined junk off the shelf! It's Braggs ACV, I mix it with one part cranberry juice and 2 parts water... I actually crave it. I got my father in law hooked on it too.
I know I can do this... no Dew for me today... tomorrow I will have one. And next week and cut it out on Tues and Thurs again... I'm slowly weening myself off the stuff.
I think this weekend I am going to get crazy and buy a fountain 32oz Dr Pepper though!
One important thing to remember, it's not always going to be smooth sailing even with a great diet and excercise program. My runs and workouts have been really tough this week. I think I may be fighting off a cold that's going around my office. As bad as I wanted to quit both days with a mile to go, I pushed through the mental block and finished all my work outs.
This week is boiler plate for a back slide in life. It would have been too easy to skip days and get back into those old excuses and routines. It doesn't matter if it's excercise, diet, relationships, finances, business, etc... you are going to have tough days and weeks. The key is to stay on the path and realize that life is never perfect. Endure the tough days and your new, good habits, will be stronger than ever after you cross the hurdle.
This is exactly where most people fail. They give up too easy and slide right back into their old comfort zone. Don't be one of the weak.
Well its official I won first place. 186.2 from 216.6 in 45 days. Its was based on percentage so a smaller guy like me could compete with the 300plus guys. Not only did I win by percentage but only one guy lost more pounds than me and it was only 3 more. He started at 290. I went right to Grandy's for a hot cinnimon roll after weigh in. It was gooooood!!
That is awesome man. My only concern for you is the rate of weight loss. Your metabolism may be in a slower state than you realize. Gradually increase your calorie intake and excercise so your weight loss is sustainable, not simply a process that won you a competition.
Trust me I know that. I'm not going back to anything like I was. I'll do a little celebrating this weekend and then back to the same routine. I'm in it for the long hall now.
