Let's see how far we've come...

I love that song by Matchbox 20, btw…

Two months into the 90-day Body by Vi Challenge, I feel like I have hit a wall.  I’ve dropped 28 pounds, but the pace has slowed down over the last couple weeks.  What does that mean?  Honestly, not a damned thing.  I’m still losing, albeit at a little slower rate, but still progressing nicely.  So, the challenge continues.

While doing my Internet Radio Show on Sunday (you can listen live, www.OutlawRadioNetwork.com, Sundays from 7-11pm – that’s a free plug), one of the listeners made a statement that I really wanted to address.

I had mentioned that I had dropped 28 pounds in the two months or so since this started.  He posted in the show’s chat room that he did that by cutting out Soda and changing his diet. 

I don’t make the assertion that this program is for everyone – some people can change their diet and take out soda and *POOF* pounds roll off.  That’s great if it works.  The problem is, I had already dropped soda about a year ago and it didn’t make much difference.  There isn’t an ‘end all, be all’ for the challenge of losing weight and getting healthier.  Some things work for some, some things work for others.

But I will say this, I have done better on this product than attempting to do it on my own.  And sure, I would love to say ‘holy crap, I dropped 100 pounds in 90 days,’ but that is unrealistic, and probably unhealthy.

And while I find it funny when people are always trying to poke holes in any theory that works, do you guys really think I am trying to ‘sell’ you anything?  I don’t make anything if you sign up.  I don’t get any benefit.  I am just following through on what I committed on my show when I started this: If it worked, I would let you know.  If it didn’t work, I would let you know that too.

My hope (goal) is to get down 20 more pounds before Sept 4 when Michelle comes back on the show.  Do you know the last time I was down below 300 lbs?  I can’t remember, but It has been a long damn time.

There is one downside to this:  My pants are already too big for me.  Imagine what it will do to my wardrobe if I drop another 20 pounds…

Oh, what a great issue to have…

Rockin’ the challenge, continues…
