4 Weeks down and a lifetime to go

After 4 weeks I've been able to lose 19 pounds.    This morning I was 242.   Things have slowed tremendously for me and thats OK.   I haven't suffered a bit.   During this month I have eaten Steak, Chicken, fish, Chili and hamburgers.   The biggest thing I've eliminated we're excessive snacking and carbonated beverages.  

It dawns on me that for several years I've used eating for entertainment and to satisfy boredom.   THen what happened I began to really enjoy all kinds of food.  For me eating satisfied so many needs it was pathetic.   Fortunately for me my wife Linda somewhat kept things in check or I would have really been big and unhealthy.   The other fortunate thing are my kids they always have motivated me.

The really good news is according to my recent Doctors visit and lab results my blood is actually moving again.   The sludge has cleared a bit and my heart and brain are starting to enjoy a few red blood cells.   I am able to stay up past 8 or 8:30 each evening which allows me to finish a few prime time shows.    The only negative physical thing is I feel cold much more.  

Where do I go from here, first off I haven't reached my goal and I will do that.   Secondly it would be nice to maintain a more healthy lifestyle and learn to enjoy better foods.   There are plenty of good things to eat.  

Now, let me go see what is in the fridge
