COOL INFO ABOUT HI-ENERGY

2008-08-13T17:26:00.000-07:00

That's Lisa! She's very supportive and always gives me incouraging words....when we aren't cracking up about something. This is what the Daily Nutritian Guide looks like and the other picture is my attempt at Turkey Chilli...with Melba Toast. It was pretty darn good! Although...I'm a little biased. =)

2008-07-12T12:22:00.000-07:00

This is the morning of Day 2. I had to go to work and normally, I would skip breakfast, head to work and hit the vending machine. I'm doing it differently.
So far, I'm logging in...

7am 1bowl of Cheerios with FatFree Lactaid
12n 1 egg beaters egg, 2 slices of wheat toast, 1 bowl of fruit & 1 coffee
3pm 1 Strawberry Kiwi Supplement - really tasty

I forgot to tell you,...when you head out to HI-ENERGY, You get lots of goodies...
Supplements, Literature, Recipes, Your "Before" Picture taken, your "start" weight, and measurements...seen here

I love that one on one personal touch they give you. Some programs give ya too much freedom/leeway to cheat. I know, I should be more responsible but honestly...I need that push. THANKS HI-ENERGY!

HI-ENERGY DIET DAY ONE

2008-07-11T11:21:00.000-07:00

I have decided to get serious about my health. Well, I have decided to act on my seriousness and who knows....MAYBE....I WILL ACTUALLY BEAT THIS! I have to, my life depends on it.

Until then....I need some support so,......time to get started.

I plan to learn to cook healthy delish meals
Get some sort of workout regime going
Drink WATER!!! (which I hate)

and overall put myself first...not before GOD but before everyone else.

I am sick and tired of being sick and tired.

For now,....Time for NEW BEGINNINGS

Okay...So, I'm at it again. This time...I'M SERIOUS! I don't know what it is. Maybe it was turning 39 and realizing that I didn't/don't want to live life like this at 40 and beyond. I don't want my weight to hold me back. NO EXCUSES! Seize the Day. Hi-Energy was, and has been the only program that I can do. Whatever works for you. I need the KICK-BUTT girls over there. You have to go in and get your weight checked twice a week. They go over your diet diary, check your blood, urine blood pressure....the works, so you know you're health is on track.

Awhile back, someone asked me about weight loss surgery. To each his own but to me, it's the easy way out. Yeah, you're right, who wouldn't want to ride down easy street? Truth is, I'm a PUNK! I'm scary. I know too many people who have died, had complications or gained their weight back. I don't want that and besides....I'm in enough debt, to boot. I want to learn how to eat and take control of my own life. I want to conquer this. I want to be the victor. It's empowering and self-gratifying to "do it yourself!" Looking at it that way...I guess you could say that surgery is the PUNKS way out. (haha) No offense to anyone who has done the surgery. When I beat this...I'll be ready to take on the world and the rest of my destiny.

I decided to do this vlog to chronicle my journey. I'm hoping this will help keep my mentals together to stay on track. Hopefully...we can inspire and motivate eachother.
