Saturday

Well, I know the weekends are going to bring a challenge, but the 90 day challenge will also give me an opportunity to beat the weekends! I feel pretty good about our first Saturday. I’m sure having a spouse that is also doing the challenge makes it a little easier to stay on track since we can support each other on the weekends.

Everything else is on track. We were not able to work out today at the gym. We were able to get a lot done around the house, though, so that next week we can get things done.

Becki and I had a talk about this week’s principal: Intention. It is 100% Intention that makes or breaks our accomplishing our goals. I am 100% committed to this goal, and at the beginning of September I will be a lean, mean 220 lb muscle machine! You can count on it! I know I can do it, and I know I have an amazing support behind me to help me along the way. Although this is just week 1, I am excited to learn the system that Outlook Development has developed for us, and I am psyched to apply it throughout the rest of my life and become the man I know I have potential of becoming.

I feel empowered right now. I feel like I have been given some tools that are perfect for the job at hand. In the past, I feel like I have been trying to use a wrench for a job that required a hammer. It just feels like the Outlook program empowers the individual with the precise tools to accomplish amazing things!

I have been trying to lose weight for years. I tried Atkins, Body 4 Life, dummy proof diets, and other things. All of which I hit a wall. I don’t feel like this program is going to do that for me. I feel like I am learning that I am capable of creating a great, healthy lifestyle that can be sustained for the rest of my life.

I really can’t believe that I have nearly reached 300 lbs! More than that, I can’t believe that I have let myself go so long with eating just about anything, not working out, and not really caring. When I look at pictures from this past Holiday Season I admit I have the urge of ripping them up and destroying the evidence. Something I actually did with some of my cherished mission pictures because I couldn’t stand seeing myself look so indulgent and unhealthy. Fortunately, it was only a couple of pictures…I just didn’t take many pictures during that short time.

Anyway, things are going to be different this time. They already are! I AM A LEAN MEAN 220 LB MUSCLE MACHINE! It feels amazing to envision how that will feel. I have lacked a lot of umphh.. and energy that I know I possess, and just thinking about this goal adds energy and a little somethin’, somethin’ to my step. I have posted pictures of me when I use to be a lean mean 220 lb muscle machine. It is going to be AWESOME comparing pictures of me in September to pictures of me right now. A total transformation!
