30 Pounds Down and Counting

Hi gang. Tracy, my buddy, and I have good news to share. Were just about finishing our second month and the results are in. We have lost a total of +30 pounds on our Waay to get fit. The combination of the Waay to Get Fit workout program along with the My Buddy Diet is the waay to go. Tracy and I are very happy. Remember our goal for this year was 80 pounds and we have already reached 30 pounds so far. I know we have plateaus ahead but for now I am happy thinking that this program is actually working when so many have failed in the past. I just wanted to tell a story on Tracy. Last year about this time all the swimsuit catalogues came into the house. Tracy would promptly throw them away as fast as they came in. This year she is down 10 pounds and thinking she will probably be down another 5 pounds by summer so she is looking at the swimsuits and smiling. I think were buying new swim suits this year. Oh la la.

We've been asked about how we can afford the diet food. The truth is that dieting is actually cheaper than before. No more or greatly reduced restaurants and fast food along with purchasing no processed foods make our overall food bill lower than before. In fact the UADA actually estimated that a family of 4 could save about 300 per month on eating healthy.
Those that are doing the diet with us, keep up the good work. Those that are thinking about getting fit. Remember all you have to loose is the weight.

Stating Waay to Get Fit on the Road

What an exciting week we had last week. We took the whole family snow skiing last week in North Carolina at Ski Beach Mountain. Now Ski Beach is about 6 hours from Huntsville so we packed up the cars and headed up the mountains. The fun part was staying on the diet while traveling for hours. In fact due to traffic the way back actually took nearly 8 hours. What Tracy, my buddy, and I found out was that you can still hold the diet while on the road. You just need to plan ahead. Think about what your going to order before you pull in to the fast food place and then stick to your guns. We ate salads and grilled chicken and not burgers and fries. Now the rest of the family did eat the burger and fries but Tracy and I were good.

We also found that while on the road and even after we got to our destination that drinking the amount of water we needed was hard. On vacation your always on the go. Here we were skiing everyday and that was fun. But drinking water was not on the top of our minds. So we found ourselves having to catch up drinking water at night.

Back to it!

Hello again! This is Tracy. We are back to work and back on the diet today. We took a little break on vacation and we are back on now and looking forward to seeing Phil tomorrow...I think. I have a feeling he will put us through the ringer tomorrow whether we want it or not. Anyway, we had a great time in the mountains! We had a chance to do lots of walking. Before we started working out, we would not have been able to do that. Greg and I were that far out of shape. Now that we have been working out for a while and stretching, we were actually able to walk around in the mountains together and really enjoy spending time together! It was great! I am so glad we decided to do this together. I am looking forward to going again next year when we can both go skiing together. I will write again later in the week.

Vacation

Hello everyone! This is Tracy. Sorry we haven't been logging on. We left on Thursday for a mini vacation and we just got back home. There was so much to do before we left to get ready. We took the family to the mountains for the weekend and we just got home and it is after 11:00 at night. We will log in tomorrow and post a video. Until then, be well!

We're back on the diet and getting fit

Most of you know that my wife Tracy and myself have been sick for a week with the stomach flu. We both missed several days of work. And yes we lost weight the hard way. Once the flu was gone we started being able to hold down solid food again. For the next few days we ate the BRAT diet. Gradually we have been able to get back on the My Buddy Diet. Friday we worked out with Phil. Wow he really poured on the Aerobics. Saturday I was able to get a 30 min walk in as the weather in Huntsville was incredible. Today I took my 4 year old grandson to the park and played for an hour. Want to hear something great. Just a month and a half ago, I'm not sure I could have kept up with my grandson and would have needed poop out on a bench and watch him play. Its' so much better to be involved. My vitality is increasing by the day. This week we will have lots of diet, rest, exercise, activity and mental state goodies for you so read the blog often. Have a great week.

Working out again

Hello everyone. Tracy again. We are glad to be back. We have been sick for quite a while. I just started eating solid food again yesterday. We have started working out again too. It has been over a week since we were able to work out without being sick. Phil came on Tuesday but we just measured and weighed. We are both losing inches and very happy about it! We asked Phil to ease us back into working out because we have been so long without working out, over a week. Well, he doesn't know the meaning of easing into anything. He brought the Bosu Ball today and had me working out with that and had Greg working out with an 8 pound medicine ball! He is definitely a Personal TERRORIST! Anyway, just thought I would drop a line to everyone! Will write again soon!

Still getting over the stomach flu

Hello everyone. Again thank you for your indulgence. Tracy and I have been sick with the stomach flu for nearly a week now. We did not work today and both of us thought that another day off might get us up and going. We do feel better. We're taking an antibiotic now (2nd day) and eating yogurt for the intestinal flora. The good news is were loosing weight. The bad news is we're loosing weight the hard way. This morning even though we felt horrible we go up and saw our personal trainer. Today instead of working out he measured us. Tracy and I both lost inches. I guess I can start to tell a difference in how my clothes fit. Your always the last to know, up or down. We hope to be back "up and atem" on Thursday.

We've Been Sick

Hello Again. I wanted to put something on here tonight as we will try to do a video blog tomorrow night. Tracy and I have been pretty sick this week with the stomach flu. For a while there, I thought we might have Salmonella. Now I don't know. First, Thursday morning Tracy started feeling nausea and upset stomach. By Thurs at noon she was running 102 degrees. Her stomach flu was terrible Thurs, Friday and Saturday. On Thurs night, she loved me so much that she wanted to share everything with her buddy and guess what. Thurs night, Friday and Saturday I had it too. Fever and all the rest. We were able to keep down some water, gator aid and some ginger ale but nothing else. I missed work on Friday and call on Saturday. Sorry Guys. But I really would not have been much use to you. Today for the first day Tracy and I are eating again. I started both of us on some broth and later on BRAT foods. Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, Toast foods. Tracy could not even make the BRAT switch. Talk about loosing weight the hard way. Well back to bed I go. We thank you for your indulgence and we will video blog tomorrow night.
