Howdy from the land of no breeze and plenty of sunshine!
To sum it up---it is hot!
I was on mile 2 of 3 on the Full Pak Trac today and I got a little light headed. That ain't good because I need my head to stay on straight so I don't fall down.
So, I am gonna make an adjustment to my Dog Days of Summer Mixup Cycle. Instead of pushing 3 laps at lunch I am gonna adjust back to 2 laps for the rest of the month.I think it would be better than falling down.
This trip has been one goal, one trick,one method and one adjustment after another so this is just par for the course.
I will ponder on a way to make up for the adjustment.

See the light
Howdy from the land of red wasps and mockingbirds!
Think,reason,learn,stand in the light of truth.Find truth in everything you do----to see the light, you must come in out of the dark.
My fat loss journey started where most folk's journey starts. I got to do something, well here goes, this is day ONE, etc,etc,etc.
The fact is , I would not have gotten as far as I have without learning,pondering,reading,understanding and finding some of the true facts that are in the shadows.
The truth is:
I am what I eat
I am how much I eat
It does count if I move more
The calorie is KING
Planning,Positive thinking,Patience,Perseverance are must have tools
Steady wins the race
If I think I can't , I can't
If I think I can, I can
I don't have to compete with anyone but me
I can not blame anyone but me
This trip takes a hell of an effort
The effort is worth it
If you feel you are in need of improving your health, you are probably right. If you think you can't do it , YOU ARE WRONG. If I can do this anyone can, I just had to see the light.
Do some research, read some blogs,books and articles.Find a method that is simple and works for you, we are worth it. Find the truth, see the light, get er done damn it!!

Mentally challenged
Howdy from the land of live oak acorns and road runners!
SLOWLY, ever so SLOWLY. I am coming to grip with the mentally challenging part of my fat loss journey. My friend and constant supporter of my journey , Muata, said this trip is as much mental as physical. He is mighty right!
I have wished,wanted and desired to lose weight several times in my life---really all of my life.I have on occasion pulled off some significant weight loss.One time I joined Nutrisystem---lost 50 pounds, and gained it back+. Twice I have hit the Atkins System hard--lost 44 and 46 pounds and gained them back +.
I have had to look back and ask myself, how did these attempts work out and WHY?
Both "systems" work because I consume less calories than I burn----duh.Both "systems" fail because mentally I am not approaching where I am and where I want to be the right way.
I am where I am because I eat too damn much, period.Unless I can change the desire to eat by excuse and not by nutrition , I can not hope to make a permanent change.
SLOWLY I will get ahead in the mental part of this trip.

Two sets of eyes
Howdy from the land of yearling ticks and grasshoppers!
I was listening to Old Red on the way to work. His poem was about two cowboys standing in the early morning light around the remuda. While waiting their turn to call for their mount for the day one cowboy was commenting on the negative aspects of a bay horse in the group.The other cowboy was asking if he meant the one with all the good features. The first cowboy was thinking the second was looking at a different horse. In the end each was looking at the same bay horse and seeing different things----two different sets of eyes looking at the same thing----no difference than anything we do in life.
While driving to work I got to thinking about my two sets of eyes. I have developed two different views while on my road trip. The view is still changing , I realize.
Once upon a time I was on a DIET, now I have begun to CHANGE THE WAY I EAT . At one time I would WORK OUT,EXERCISE,BUST MY ASS now I PRACTICE,PLAY,MOVE and USE CALORIES.There was a time I would CHEAT on my DIET now I eat WHAT I WANT and REALIZE WHAT I PUT IN MY MOUTH and WHAT EFFECT IT HAS ON ME.
There was a point in my life (for a long time) when I felt I DESERVED A TREAT now I realize I DAMN SURE DESERVE TO EAT BETTER and BE HEALTHIER.
Most importantly I think,for a long time I looked thru eyes that felt I had LITTLE CONTROL over my weight, now I see I am the ONLY ONE THAT HAS CONTROL.
Two sets of eyes, two points of view, I now realize------
I see it is up to me.

Joints
Howdy from the land of barking dogs and flighty heifers!
I just did not realize how many joints I really have in my body until the last year.I mean I have always known I have two feet with joints, because all my life they have hurt (their FLAT). I have known for years I have two knee joints, because they HURT. But for a while I have begun to feel joints in my hands, elbows and let's not forget the ones in my neck!!! This age thing is beginning to suck.
And Muata better not write and say to take it easy because a Gentleman My Age needs to be careful---LOL.
My point is , while I travel down my fat loss highway,I have been trying different things in an effort to lose fat faster or gain more muscle. Some of these things work well, some make my joints hurt more than necessary. So, I suppose I should take stock in the advice Muata gives me and try and have a little patience in this trip.It seems the more I push the more I run into resistance.
Wishing I would get there just won't make it happen.

Dog Day Challenge
Howdy from the land of red heifers and summer thunder boomers!
It feels like a regular summer around these parts this year.This is what the gulf coast is suppose to be in summer, thunder showers coming in from the gulf and hot humid days.
Today I start my next cycle, appropriately named "The Dog Days of Summer Whama Bam Mix Up Cycle". I am gonna do a 6 week cycle and then a couple of weeks of rest . My plan is to get my routine rolling and make it until Sept 1 so I can have the heat of summer behind me and the cool days of fall ahead.
Now for the challenge----I challenge you to get a mix up calorie burning routine going yourself. Come on, you can do it----get up off your ass and move something. Dance while you vacuum , touch your toes while getting out of the car, park in the back row at work----you get the idea.
Also, if you can think of a way for me to add a mix up to my mix up , let me know-----and NO don't say jog or run because these knees don't do that kinda stuff.
Any new item that will add a few burned up calories to my routine will add up and at the same time keep me from becoming bored.
See ya down the road, take the challenge, it is a good thing.
