Advent day 24...

greetings!

jeep and i only did 4 miles today...

the good news -- i hit 260 this a.m.

down 55 pounds...

60 more to lose...

PTL!!!

some have asked me what i have been doing...

i began by reading three books by Dr Dean Ornish the renowned cardiologist who specializes in reversing heart disease through lifestyle [and the Rice Diet and the Duke Diet]...

from these resources, i established the following...

1. reduce my fat intake to less than 10-20 grams per day [this means no meat, no fried foods, no grease, etc]

2. reduce my salt intake to 500-1000 mgs per day...

3. reduce my sugar intake severely [drink water]...

4. exercise at least 1 hour per day [walking]...

5. the last component which i will add in january is basic strength training with a bowflex to build / tone muscle...

6. pray for God's strength when I crave BBQ and want to binge...

7. be very intentional and journal EVERYTHING i eat...

i have been FAITHFUL not to cheat and it has worked...

blessings!!!

guy

i pray for your success as well...
