When I woke up Monday morning I had decided to skip walking for an hour, because I was expecting an important phone call at 10 a.m. After watering the plants I changed my mind, and went for my one hour walk. At one time, I made excuses not to go on my walks, but now I usually trade that way of thinking for a more victorious frame of mind.

A champion doesn’t make excuses, he follows through on what needs to be done. You have to get rid of stinking thinking.

I was in the low 290s three months ago and now I’m in the low 270s, it would be nice to hit the 250s three months from now or sooner. I’m exceeding my weight loss goals from June 13th, maybe I can keep it going.

On Monday for the first time, I had spaghetti with ground turkey, tri-tip, zucchini and onions, and Tuesday morning I woke up at 271 pounds, my lowest weight of the year. I lost almost a pound and a half! I need to start eating that more often. I’m modifying my budget so I can buy tri-tip every time I go shopping.

Ironically, someone gave me two slices of a medium pizza on Monday, and I ate them. I’m going to try that when I buy pizza, eating two slices at a meal instead of four. I can eat veggies of some type with it.
