As I enter the Gym last night I spot my old Trainer assisting one of his Clients. He waves me down as I swipe my card at the entrance. He looks me up and down and says to me ‘You did it’… I’m thinking to myself ‘what did I do’? I just smile and say thank you man you helped me a lot and I really do appreciate it. He says, No brother you did it all by yourself I just put you on your path.
I should feel good for all of this, but in all actuality I don’t. Not really, I feel good, but not GREAT. I don’t feel I have ‘done it’ yet. I’m not done. I’m still a work in progress. With still a long road ahead of me. Sometimes people hear this as I have in the past and just stopped and felt as if they have reached the finish line, but this is just another turn in my long ass Marathon of weight-loss. I am tired. I am over-trained, exhausted, physically and mentally drained. I need my vacation, which just so happens to take place next week. I need to be revitalized..which will happen on the sandy beaches of Grand Cayman ? But once I return from my trip, I will be more driven than ever to reach my target weight of 220. I am 22 pounds away from that. When I reach that target, that will mark a total weight loss of 206lbs.
Yesterday a client of mine INSISTED that I had Gastric Bypass. He practically made me remove my shirt to prove I had no scarring from the procedure, which I humbly did so he could remove the foot from his own mouth. He said I should write a book..who knows maybe I will, but more-so I want to help people that have been in my same situation and SHOW them that there are natural and healthier alternatives to weight loss, and no one is hopeless. Anything can be accomplished with the right mind-set. Hell my lazy ass is doing it ?
Well Im back! and it was great! My Carribean Cruise took me to Labadee Haiti, Ocho Rios, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel. I cut loose for the first time in close to 2 years. Didn’t count my macros, didn’t have scheduled workouts, didn’t track my water intake. T’was a full on vacation a very much needed vacation. But that is all now in the past. Back in the grind as of this morning. All food is prepped first AM Cardio session is in the books, first 2 meals have been consumed. I tell you I enjoyed my vacation, but I couldn’t help but feel a bit weird and a bit lost. I enjoy having a schedule and a routine it makes me feel organized and in control of things. Its nice to be back
