Week 3 & Day 20! The slump..

I want to take this time and thank all of our co workers at Comcast for being so supportive!!! Once and awhile they will go around with a "TREAT CART" filled with every snack treat under the sun. From candy bars to chips and so on. The other day we noticed some healthier options on this cart. IT was great to know they have our backs!

So... the slump.. I am not to sure if it was a bad week or my body just wants to hold on to all this fluff. I can say I had a goal to lose 30 lbs by Birthday. I am confident that I can lose at least 2 more pounds until May 17th. So I did not lose anything at all. This week going into week four I am hitting the treadmill at work more and walking Bella at any chance I can. I just have to get under 400 lbs. I actually can't even believe that I weigh that much. It saddens me to think of wasted years.

I have to thank a few more people out there too. LINDA PILKINGTON!!! She is walking bella around 2 miles most days and is as committed to this as I am. She weighed in and lost this week and I know she can make it to her goal!

Linda's Aunt Joyce and Jim gave us a nice Juicer and will be a huge blessing for our mornings!! On this candida diet breakfast in the beast, the challenge, the oh my gosh we are having veggies and eggs again... but this morning I made a veggie frittata  and it turned out pretty good. I will have to post more photos.

Speaking of posting photo's!! Please go to my new TUMBLR blog where I can post videos and more photos and fun stuff! I can even chat with you if you want to ask questions.

The journey & battle - DAY 11

Image
Howdy, I want to thank all those that took a moment to read the last post. I am now on day 11 of my 84 day journey to lose weight and be healthy. Linda wanted me to let you know what my bad health journey has looked like. The past few years I have weighed over 400 lbs, my back and knees constantly hurt and daily things that most take for granite like to tie shoes, button your pants up and walking in the park were and still are a daily battle. I get lots of boils and skin problems and rashes from my extra fluff. I knew it was time to take back my life these past few years and thanks to our jobs at comcast that we finally got the chance to get help. I am now on Day 11 and day 3 out of 5 on a Detox in which I only drink distilled water and 64 oz of Lemonade freshly squeezed and pure maple syrup for 5 days and no food.   Well day 3 is today and Comcast took us out to Carvers Restaurant for doing a great job at work. It is basically a Steak house and it is for sure one of the b

The push for greatness!

Image
You know that time when you look in the mirror and say to yourself - "Let's do this!" that is what Linda and are doing. We might not say it in the mirror and on rare occasions say it out loud, but we are pushing ourselves for greatness daily. It is a battle, it is a real struggle. We are human, we have weaknesses and yes we eat chocolate when we get overwhelmed. It is the bigger picture, it is something thanks to Darren Hardy has educated me on and I thank him for his book and the chance to have met him. He wrote a book called "The Compound Effect" and in this book it is all about the long term and all the tiny small steps that lead us to greatness. Everybody wants to have the quick fix and instant fame. We took on a 12 week program and in this program we learned a lot. We have adapted new recipe's and a new lifestyle. The program is over, although we still do have some appointments we need to finish with the Doctor and it has been a great journey

Back in saddle again

Hello Folks! It's back at it again to the health portion of this blog. I took a bit of a detour with my leg and our trip to San Francisco, Portland and back to good old SLC. UPDATE: I was not diagnosed with DVT which is really bad and people suffer with clots. I however have deep varicose veins that we can not see, like the spider veins and such. So basically I was wrapped with this medical tape and such and then pantyhose to help reduce the soreness, redness and swelling. I will be wearing compression socks from now on to keep my legs healthy and live a good life. I am a bit worried about the socks though. The above picture is of my leg and the cat is Nala in the which she loves getting petted with my foot for some odd reason. BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!!! RYAN'S  weight is officially 388 and has lost 44 lbs since this journey started. Today I lost another 9 lbs. as well!! Linda lost 7 lbs recently and all together 20 lbs down! !! GO LINDA!!!
