5 31 2012 The 5 Bite Diet Day 17

Good day all. My Spirits are great and my Energy level is good.

Just call me Battling Bruno! I am slugging it out and taking ground! Round by round I am advancing and looking for the prize. If I get knocked down I rise again and again. Whatever it takes to make it to the next round. I have to be strong, I have to be victorious. I have no choice.

Things are OK, but they sure as to hell could be better. Hey thats Life. The 5 Bite Diet has taught me some tough lessons. It thought me that for "ME" carbs for the most part are taboo. It is what it is for "ME". I envy those who can limit the amount of carbs they eat and move on. Not the case for "ME". Oh well???

I am digging my way out of the hole. I am tired of digging, but that is what they say it is. Is it? HA!!! Not much more to report other than I have a lot to think about at the end of this 30 day challenge.......... a lot.

My relationship with carbs: "THE SWEETEST TABOO"

7 31 2012 Supplemental Who Knows

Greetings all. My Spirits and Energy levels are good.

Blink, blink, blink.........goes the cursor as I stare at it. What to write? What indeed! Blink, blink, blink in total silence. So there you go.

What was that all about? Heck I dont know or do I? Deep thoughts I guess. I have come so far in such a short time. A total of two years. A lot to some, not much to others. Two years you say?



Well two years that I started to journal. First on a forum and then on my first blog and now here on my second blog. what next?

Who knows?

OK, I am not being cryptic this time........ I think. No I am just in deep thought. For now I have a very full plate and I am not talking about food. Well maybe it does have to do with food in the sense of diet.

There so many things that I have planned to do, yet have not. Good intentions dont add up to much. Action is the key. Motivation is the start.... I guess.

My motivation varies. Sometimes I can be unstoppable at other times.... lets just say tomorrow never comes. What was that famous poster on the X files? I think it was a picture of a UFO with the caption at the bottom that read "I want to believe." That little quote describes some unfinished business that I have concerning my overall health.

I wan to believe that I can do more. More you ask? Yes more my Friends and Family. What more could ya want Dave? What more indeed!

Lookit: Realistically "I want to believe" that I can get my rear end to a committed exercise routine that involves low impact Cardio, Weight Resistance, Stretching and some type of Martial Arts or even something like Tae Bo. OK dont laugh too loud. I can hear you all the way from Texas!

Yes, I have talked about it in the past. Heck I even have a good amount of equipment. What I dont have is: come on now all together:

MOTIVATION!!!

Anyone knows where I can find some? Or can you spare some? Can ya? Please. So why do you want to get involved in all that jazz anyway you may ask. I just know that some good old exercise will make me strong as I get old. I am not as strong as I once was and that is not fun. No it is not. There is no reason to let your strength diminish as you get old. We are designed to keep fit for life if we are so inclined. I am not talking fanatic type training. I am no super athlete and never will be.

I am just talking about some light strength training, moderate cardio, and stretching. So why the big fuss? WHO KNOWS???

Have a Healthy Day my Friends and Family. I am in it for the Long Haul, how about you? Live Long, Be Strong and Always Battle On!!!


I WANT TO BELIEVE

Cheers,

Dave
