Master's Lose Weight

Discoveries:

Today I discovered that the semester is finally over. At 34, taking finals is a challenge. I so wish that I would have finished school the first time around. I traded in my books for bread (money) and became the baker. My passion is writing and the creative arts but my advanced skillset is in communications, sales specifically. I am about 26 hours away from having my Bachelor’s degree so I can’t stop now. I can knock it out. The good news is that I enjoy reading so picking up the concepts is pretty easy. I have had conversations with many people I respect, degreed people and they have made the following admissions:

·         Some degrees are easy to get

·         Much of learning now involves memorization

·         People who test well don’t necessarily learn or get educated

·         Many people prefer easy classes versus ones that challenge them

·         Many people change majors because of one or two difficult classes

Regardless of the aforementioned, I’m getting my piece of paper, and then another and another and another…….

High Points:

Man the pounds are dropping like flies. Over the last four weeks I’ve lost 21 pounds. Pardon my conceit but that’s remarkable! What’s my secret? Nothing BIG really. I merely eliminated all fluids from my regular day-to-day except for water, good ol’ H20. If I get thirsty I grab a bottle of water. Next I used an awesome program my wife turned me on to called www.myfitnesspal.com . It is a highly interactive tool that lets you scan barcodes, enter in the foods you eat and track your exercise to help you make progress. Then I try to break a sweat every single day. I tend to do this easily by briskly walking two to three miles every day. That’s it, no magic formula. Diet, exercise and smart decisions.

DAILY INSANITY:

One Word: Chipotle

OMG,,,, My diet plan was almost derailed this week by one of my favorite places: Chipotle. It’s amazing to see the time and care Chipotle takes with its ingredients.  Here is an excerpt from their website: “we source organic and local produce when practical. And that we use dairy from cows raised without the use of synthetic hormones. Food with Integrity is a journey that started more than a decade ago and one that will never end.”
