Day 15

Before I tell you about the start of week three I need to let you know about my great weekend off. Amy came to visit me on Saturday. We had a great dinner and on Sunday we had an action packed day. We went para-sailing and were lifted 1200 feet high...Pretty cool. Then we went on a boat ride to find dolphins and dolphins we found. It was a beautiful site. Lastly we hired a deep sea fihing charter for the afternoon. We cought over 50 fish but only two were keepers. Amy got a 4 pound flounder and I got a 23 inch grouper. This will be dinner for my co-campers and I tomorrow evening.

Today is the start of week three. It was also weigh in day here at Core Fitness. As I told you all in the past I had no desire to know my progress. I met Doug "Flash" this am for "my time". As I was being measured Doug kept remeasuring as if he was checking himself. I asked what the problem was and he told me that he knows that I do not want to know my progress but that he is very pleased with my progress. My % body fat went down 3%, my waist 3 inches, every measurement went down.

Although exciting to hear this is still the start of a new life style. I am going to try and refrain from drinking and cigars my two vices so that I can regain a healthy life style and learn to hopefully appreciate them in moderation. I gave my 10 cigars I had with me ( none of which I smoked) to the land lord. He was greatly apreciative.

I started taking a multi vitamin and Magnesium/calcium and I feel like a new man. My cramps and charlie horse are gone and today I had an amazing workout. I feel stronger then ever.

All in all life is good. I am blessed to have this oppurtunity to take care of me but
more importantly I have great friends. Thank you all.

  3. Inches are more important than pounds anyway. Now that your turning "buff" those new muscles will weigh more than the replaced fat. You are simply awesome, amazing, grand, stupefying, impressive, astonishing, startling, mind-boggling, astounding, spectacular, what more can be said?
