The wind from the mountain air threw the open window of the car feels like being reborn, so i guess I am reborn once a week.
I’m not sure if it’s a combination of the sparks and the 80’s revival mixed cd and singing on the top of our lungs, or knowing you are so close to civilization but 3000ft in the mountains driving 50mph where the tempeture decreases 10 degrees with every mounting increase of the latitude.
Its great feeling free for those few hours, smoking ciggerettes and thinking of nothing but what is around you. Being happy with the person sitting next to you, a slight touch of their hand on your arm and the silly stories you occasionally swap while looking for deer and other wildlife.
Maybe it’s just how the ride starts at the beginning when you decide if you want to go north or south on the parkway….the very choices that determine the scenery, the views and the cd we listen to…..when its over, its great to know that it will happen all over again next week.

How I did it: strict diet. protein and veggies, portion control and EXERCISE!!!!protein shakes with little to no sugar and under 150 cals. 3x's a day.very veggie packed meal with a lean meat.try to stay away from starches.LIMIT SUGAR INTAKE TO LESS THAN 8mg per meal!!!!That means REFINED sugars, not natural sugars found in fruit.LOTS OF WATER. Drink at least 60 oz of water a day. Read how I did it…
I struggle everyday to lose weight. I have a happy relationship with my friends/sig.other but a very unhappy one with food. I eat mindlessly most of the time and it doesn’t help that i work in a high-end indie coffee shop that sells delicious home made treats. I try to cut out the sugar in my coffee and use skim milk but i am surrounded. I do all the food shopping and the cooking and lets face it after 8hrs of work, 6 days a week, a sandwich or a can of chef boyardee is all i feel like making. I have lost almost 60lbs though in the last year and that feels great, but the last 30lbs seems really hard. I could use some good advice. Some substitutes, some ideas, some more inspiration….
