Back in the saddle again!

Hey Slim Buds!  I took a short time out.  I had been working out so hard.  Eating right.  Drinking the water etc…  And the scale wasn’t moving fast enough for me.  Ok so I had to do a little soul searching.   Promised myself I would stay off the damn scale.  I may never weigh again.  See earlier post about my obsession with a number and the piece of cwap.  It doesn’t matter what the efin scale says.  More importantly is how you feel.  So I took a brief time out and got my stars lined up right.  I had to get my mind in the alignment in order to make this long journey.  I don’t have a short trip here.  I do have my mind right.  I may not weigh for a long time.  I do however pledge to myself, my god, and my buddies that I will live the life.  As long as I do that everyday, when I go to bed at night I won’t have to sleep face down.   Laugh now buds.  That means hide my head in shame.  So I am glad to be back a postin.  You all watch out now that I am revitalized!  No more funny scale stories trying to weigh in the buff real fast.  Maybe more about posing in front of the mirror about body shaping, or what not to wear when working out when you weigh over 300.  I missed you all and wish you all the best for today.  John Boy rides again!

    Whew! Thought I was gonna have to send a posse out lookin for ya buddy…

    Glad you’ve got your mind on straight and the stars are aligned and your feeling all zen and stuff. LOL

    Let’s get crackin, shall we? *blowing energy and good vibes to you*

    Very VERY pleased to hear that you are breaking the addiction to the scales. I think this will do WONDERS for your motivation and determination to succeed. It IS how you feel and how your clothes fit more than anything else. The scales are great for tracking progress, but for me, not daily and sometimes not even weekly. They just let me know when I’m getting off track. I go by my energy level and the fit of my jeans more than anything else these days.

    Hugggggggggggggggs,
