Lose weight and get down to the right weight for me (which is losing 75+ lbs.) (read all 3 entries…)
Still on my way (60 pounds less and 8 inches less in my waist)

More and more I think is about the journey not the destination.

To anyone trying to accomplish this goal I highly recommend it.
just don’t get hung up in the end game.

“You won’t be happy and satisfied when you finally reach your perfect weight.
You will be happy and satisfied with every pound you loose, with every muscle that starts to show and with every new cloth you buy.
So go ahead and enjoy the journey!”



In the two years that I’ve had this goal
I’ve enjoyed every moment…
people say nice things when they see me.
And is great to buy a shirt and have it perfectly fit..

I still don’t completely like the guy that looks me in the mirror
but he definitively looks more like the way I feel I am.

My personal conclusion is:
Diet is the only thing that makes me slim.
Aerobic exercise helps me feel better and raise my energy and
Weight Lifts gives me body shape.

I get continuous support from friends in particular I have friends that I only see every 3 months
And they really notice how much weight I’ve lost every time they see me.

PS my current routine is this:

I’m still in the Zone-diet but I’m not being very strict right now.

I go swimming Mon-Wed-Fri
I lift weights Tue-Thurs-Sat
And I jog in Sun.

My body looks good… And I’m getting a good shape.



Keep a journal (read all 3 entries…)
I felt of the wagon.

I’ve felt of the wagon with this habit… a couple of times
in which I don’t write…

the pretexts are many…
but I’ve just been lazy…
now I intend to write every day…
only if its just one sentence…

I still keep learning and enjoying the mails with my past entries
that I get from ohlife.com

Another year...

after last years entry…
I gained a littel weight like 8 pounds more…
But this year in february
I started zone-diet again with discipline
and now I’m down to 50 pounds from the day I started two years ago.

Besides I’m not only loosing fat
but I’m also making muscle… so my actual fat lose has been bigger.
I’m down 6 inches in my waist… that looks A LOT.

It has been a long two years…
but I’m still working towards the goal…
but now the journey is much prettier…

I’ll get there.
