Weight loss

Weigh Down

May 3, 2008 By kwmccarthy

Amazing!  Today I crossed the halfway point in my stated weight loss goal.  I am actually down 21 pounds in 4 weeks.  I’m stunned and amazed, but not really now that I understand the TSFL system.  Pardon me for gushing over with excitement.  This TSFL is a system with high predictability.  I’ve been sticking very close to my "fueling schedule" and exercising everyday so I can reach my goal sooner rather than later.  Weight loss is merely the beginning – Phase 1, as TSFL calls it.  Phase 2 – BeSlim is just getting healthier – to optimal health.  Here is a link to my health coaches’ web site: Lori and Wayne Andersen to read more about the program.

I’ve stopped snoring… apparently!

April 26, 2008 By kwmccarthy

For years now, my wife has slept with earplugs because my snoring awakens her.  Since my son has been away at school the past two years, she has been actually going into his bedroom many nights to escape the snore machine. 

Judith left town shortly after I started the Take Shape for Life program and just returned on Wednesday, April 23.  Since she’s been back, I’ve found her sound asleep next to me every morning.  That hasn’t happened in months.  I asked her why.  She said she hasn’t been waking up in the middle of the night to my snores galore.

I’m wondering if the fact that I’m down 17 pounds since starting TSFL has anything to do with it.  You bet!  Now that I think about it, I’m resting more soundly, awakening more alert, and needing less sleep.  I never expected this outcome from dropping a few pounds. 

I’m very thankful.  Thankful for…
    the loss of weight
    the return of my sound sleeping
    the return of Judith’s sound sleep
    the increase in energy
    the gain of some waking time
    the healthier lifestyle

Be On-Purpose!

Gotta lose some weight – Part 3

April 2, 2008 By kwmccarthy

Perhaps I’m obsessing about this.  I’m glad I have time to prepare
myself mentally before starting the Take Shape For Life program.  Once
my food arrives, I think I’ll be in the right frame of mind.  I feel a
lot like getting ready to play "the big game" as in sports.  There’s a degree of performance anxiety mixed with wanting to get out there to prove to myself I can do this.

True confessions here.  The first 35 years of my life I was an athlete.  It was a part of my vision of myself.  Since I hurt a knee and stopped competing on the tennis court, I’ve gradually added weight every year.  Now at age 53, I find myself with all this extra weight.  Somehow, I’ve adjusted my self vision to accommodate being a fat person.  None of this, in my case, has to do with genetics, hormones, or whatever.  It all has to do with choices… bad choices.

Gotta lose some weight – Part 2

OK!  My Take Shape For Life weight loss products should arrive
this Friday.  I’m excited to get started.  The more I think about it,
the more determined I get to succeed at this.  Lori and I talked
yesterday about setting a goal for losing weight.  I set my goal at
