Alright - so I am officially sick - so says the doctor. But I'm on the mend. And am feeling better this morning. This week has been highly inconsistent in a variety of ways, due to many things, not the least of which is the illness.
BUT - this weekend I'll be unveiling a new plan. One that Amber and I have created together for BOTH of us to make some serious changes. It'll allow me to lose the 40 I wanted to before the RnR Half - and take more off before the end of 2009 (which is a challenge Deb and I have).
I'm really excited about it, frankly. I know that in many ways I've taken a step or two backwards, and I'm tremendously disappointed in myself for that. BUT - with your support - especially everyone telling me how much they've loved the DVDs - and with our new plan, and Amber's newfound desire - I think we're going to amaze people at how far one can go after relaxing into complacence.
Here's the promise I make to you, my followers, and readers, friends, supporters, and teammates.
I will continue to be 100% honest about my ups, downs, lefts and rights. I won't minimize failures, or overstate successes. This is a journey folks - and every journey has darker periods. I'm coming OUT of one right now.
What I ask in return, is that you continue to show me the same level of love, support, and pride as you always have.
I promise you all - we will CONTINUE to be proud of each other and what we've accomplished. Even if we're injured, sick, slip, fall, or put on weight.
We will keep moving forward together as a team.
Okay - that's it for today - I'll be back on Sunday with that plan!
MAIN STREET AWAITS!
Don't worry Jonathan, I had a similar problem this week, at least I got Spring Break next week and a goal for myself to hopefully lose 15 pounds before two months for my Summer Alumni Program and don't worry this new Team Voice recruit will be ready for his goal to be in the '011 Disney World Half-Marathon.
ReplyDeleteIn the words of Walt Disney "Keep moving forward!"
Can't wait to hear the new plan! I am trying to find some new tips and methods to get where u want too-it's always a challenge for sure.
ReplyDeleteFirst, here's to hoping for a speedy recovery!
ReplyDeleteSecond, really glad to hear that you and Amber have a shared goal. One of the major factors for my own weight loss (and over two years of maintaining it) a couple of years back, is due to my wife being a lifetime WW member. People often tell her "you don't look like you need to be on WW..." Of course we all know that this is exactly the point of keeping on the program! If we didn't then we'd surely go back to our evil eating ways! You can be much stronger together than individually for sure. So here's to celebrating success with the both of you!!! :-)
Lastly, you know we'll be here with you through those up's, down's, left's and rights.
I am so glad to hear you have a partner in this journey. I know how important that is as I know I wouldn't be where I am right now without my husband at my side.
ReplyDeleteKeep on keepin' on..we're all here to support you, up or down or sideways! =)
welcome home!
ReplyDeletenow feel better!! i too will be awaiting your new plan! i need a kick start something fierce.... feeling kind of sluggy and blah... and theres this dvd sitting on my table next to my computer that i am too chicken to watch!!! i think its gonna make me cry and miss my buds..... ;)
Good work, Jonathon, in identifying the problem and defining a solution. I suffered from the same problem recently. I was down 40 lbs in early November, but gained 15 lbs back by mid-January; after reworking my program and renewing my effort (with some changes) I am nearly back to my November low-point. You are not alone in this.
