Day 3

Day 3 was going to be a challenge because of my schedule, but I maneuvered through it like a stealth fighter.  I gave myself no excuses for missing breakfast, so I woke up early enough for my son and I to eat breakfast, which was oatmeal (of course, sprinkled with Sensa).  He and I were going to spend the day cooking in the Church kitchen and doing other related work to prepare meals and take them out to the homeless in Detroit's Cass Corridor.  (The Youth Council at our Church did an awesome job at coordinating this event in celebration of MLK Day.)  The mouthwatering smells of juicy fried chicken and creamy, cheesy macaroni wafted through the air all day.  When lunchtime came for us, I consumed only a small portion of mac and cheese, plenty of green beans and chicken.  I could have taken the skin off the chicken, but the great thing about Sensa is that I do not have to deprive myself of such things, as long as I keep portions in check. 

All in all, it was a beautiful day of service to the community and a confirmation of my personal commitment and strength toward losing weight and becoming a better me.  My son was moved by seeing the homeless people and providing food to them.  He returned to the Church with a softer heart and feeling of pride in himself.  It was an all-around wonderful day.

Day 2

Day 2 went just as smoothly as day 1.  Had my oatmeal breakfast, spaghetti for lunch and salad for dinner-- all sprinkled with Sensa, of course.  I did get hungry in between meals, so I had a half an orange or a small apple or something like that.  It feels wonderful to feel like finally, I am in control of my body and my mind.  There are no outside influences, pressures or other stressers that will keep me from doing this FOR ME.

Day 1 - Results

I did great!  Went grocery shopping yesterday, which is always a challenge, but I batted away those challenges like flies to a fly swatter.  My desire for a healthy body combined with my Sensa is going to be a winning combination.

I'd love to hear about your challenges and goals too toward weight loss.  If anybody else out there is going thru it, keep in touch.  Let's support each other thru this.  We Can Do It! 

Day 1

Losing weight is not going to be easy as I'm sure you all know.  So far, so good today.  Started off the day with prayer.  Remembered to sprinkle Sensa on my oatmeal.  Drank my water.  Reminded myself to "make it a great day on purpose."  Looking forward to a day of moving my body, making progress toward accomplishing my goals and dreams, and serving God's will. Wishing you well too on this day that the Lord has made!

Transformations

I signed up for the Doctor Oz "Transformation Nation" program.  Still trying to work hard to get this weight off of myself and my son.  I am 150% certain that my life will change completely and for the better once and for all when we are fit and better able to live a healthy lifestyle.  I may not get everything right, but I'm not going to quit this time.  Besides, there's a million dollars out there with my name on it!  Oz's Transformation Nation
