October Biggest Loser Update

I am so grateful to everyone for all the support and prayers. I really feel like I am not in this alone. I have been in the states for a bit now, both for the T.E.A.R.S. Board meeting and to visit some churches. Boy has it been a challenge! As soon as I got of the plane in Miami, Florida my senses were bombarded by hundreds of smells, signs and colors telling me to come try the food, desserts, coffee and snacks! It seemed as if my cravings went into hyper-drive! Everything looked so good and smelled so wonderful. I was sure that they piped the smells into the walkways just to get to me! So, I found a little place that had salads and ordered a small Cesar along with a bottle of water. The total cost was $13.95, wow! I could have purchased two Whopper deals for that much at Burger King! It seems as if this whole trip has been like that for me. There are so many great restaurants and junk food places (like Cinnabon, an old favorite of mine) lurking around every turn.

All said and done I realized I would rather feel good than give in to the pressure of bad habits. So, I am still drinking tons of water, and it helps a lot. I have increased my run/walk from two miles a day to three! I have allowed myself an occasional treat but that means extra sit-ups before bed. I am now down below 300 lbs. As of October 4, 2007 I officially weigh 297lbs. It has been years since I have been under 300lbs and it feels great!! Thanks again for your prayers and encouragement.

The Biggest Loser,
