100
Hello Everyone,
So today we celebrate 100lbs gone from my life. I am so thankful for this change in every aspect of my life and how for the first time in many years I can truly say that I am again Alive.
Just over 4 months ago, February 16, 2010 I started this journey weighing in at 340lbs, fully diabetic, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, bad health readings of every kind. I was immediately put on prescription medication and realized just how far down a slippery sloop my health had slide. I won't kid you, I was in bad shape. Really bad.
Today, its a new reality. I am no longer on any persciption medication, all blood tests show a Strong Healthy person with great levels. I am energized about life, excited about possiblities and egar to join in and get involved, not let life slip by.
The biggest lessons for me in this journey has been to quiet the self doubt, take time for me everyday and to honor my physical temple as much as I honor my emotional and spiritual temples. OK, the Alaska sumer calls, I'll be back with a video blog very soon. Thank you for your continued interest and support.

Hello everyone, I am sorry for the delay in posting. Life is going better than ever and also very busy. Last week a new video blog was recorded with some great stuff, unfortunatly due to technical difficulties the footage is not usable. I am working on a new video blog and will have it up soon.
I am happy to report that I am no longer taking any medication, including the small diet pill that I was on at the begining of the process. My numbers continue to get lower or stay at a Healthy level and the way I look? Wow people really notice.
The best thing for me is how I feel.
Every part of life and movement is better than in 20years. Other great things are happening, like spending time with my HS sweetheart Kara.
Again thank you for your continued interest and support. For those that are also on the path to better health, keep up the great work! I have talked to many people that have been inspired by my story and it really moves me to know that none of us are alone, we have each others support to guide us through the rough waters in life and cheer us on at our triumphs.
Take some time today to do something special for your body, love it by feeding it well, exercising it and telling yourself just how AWESOME you truly are. I am excited to show you the new video blog, I think some of you will be shocked... :-) Oh yeah, weigh in this week, 252.

T O D A Y
Today was weigh in, six weeks since day one. On day one I weighed in at 340, I was morbidly obese, had blood pressure of 142 over 92, in every way physically unfit. My energy was low, I had mood swings depending on when I ate, I hid from the world more than I participated in it because moving in the world was uncomfortable.
That was then, today is a completely different world for me. Today I weigh 307. Today my blood pressure was 126 over 72, today at my workout at Body ReNew I did 3 sets of each exercise instead of 2. Today my energy is high and getting higher. Today I love to go into the world, to see people and already know that they see me differently then just a few weeks ago and for the last many, many years.
Prior to starting the program at Alaska Premier Health I did a lot of research about other peoples experience, maybe that is why you are here at this blog, a common thread was many people had strong emotional reactions during the weight loss. So I have been waiting for that to happen, I had visions of waking up at 3am freaking out from hunger and raging into the video camera. Thankfully that NEVER happened. Tonight, something intense did happen and I want to share that.
The day was great, I had accomplished a lot of work and I was off to work out. Suddenly I had this surge of emotion realizing that in 8-10 days I will be under 300lbs. I'll admit that I started to cry. I think deep down doubt had built up that maybe that just wasn't possible. Doubt. Well I'm happy to say goodbye doubt, goodbye fear, hello me weighing less than 300lbs. Very very soon. Heck I'll be going way past 300. Remember the new pants from a few weeks ago? They are starting to be a bit big...that new belt hole?....soon I think we'll add another.
I plan on getting a new video blog up very soon. Thanks for all the comments asking when the new one will be posted. Thank You to everyone of you for supporting me.
In closing tonight, I would like to again express my Sincere Gratitude to Alaska Premier Health and Body ReNew. Each and every one of you has made a direct impact, a measurable difference in my life and well being. As Michele and I like to say at Body ReNew I am a Human Being, so it is only logical and right that I keep my Being Well.
