Something Inside

There's something inside of us that makes us do the things that we do.
Some are bad and some are good.
What is that thing that is inside of you?
No one really knows for sure, it's often misunderstood.
Wait, that doesn't make sense. . .or does it?
There's something inside, and I just can't quit.
Quit. . .on something or just on you?
Quit. . .on situations or things that you do?
Quitting is for losers, not winners. . .right?
Or is it that something inside that puts up a fight?
It's hard to say what that something inside might be.
It's hard to believe that it lives inside of me.
So what are you saying. . .I don't comprehend.
Could it be that something inside that has no end?
Possibly, but explain to me this.
What is it that gives us that heavenly bliss?
Is it that something inside that holds on tight?
Telling you what to do whether it's wrong or right.
Let me get this straight.
Because I just don't seem to equate. . .
That something inside could be so great. . .
Or that something inside can seal our fate.
So please tell me, what is that something inside?
I tell you my friend, that something inside is PRIDE!!
But don't think that it is always great. . .
Because there's something greater than even that mate.
What could this be?
This something inside can set you free.
This something inside gives you integrity.
This something inside lives and breathes.
This something inside died on Calvary.
This something is really a someone.
Do you know who?
Haven't got a clue.
I do, and you can too.
He is the reason for my being.
He is the truth, the way and the life.
And He keeps me out of harm and strife.
Jesus Christ is the something inside of my life!!

God Bless,

Boot Camp is tonight at 6:00 at My local Anytime Fitness. . . I will be sweating and burning off some awesome calories!!

309, yes I said it. . . 10 pounds to the 200 pound man

Hey guys and gals, unless there is a misread on my scale. . . which I don't think that there is. . . because I tested this theory three times, and got the same results. . . I'm officially out of the 310's!! I now officially weigh 309lbs, that's a whopping 106pounds to date, and 81 pounds lost since trying out for NBC's "The Biggest Loser". Things are going according to plan, and hopefully in 3 weeks I will see those wonderful 200's! Just like a mighty steam engine, I just keep chug-chug-a-lugging away to a new thinner me!! Well, I will keep this one short, but let me give you a recipe for one my favorite things to eat. . . It's called a STAB sandwich. Sounds gruesome, but it tastes so good!!

STAB Sandwich:
S= Baby Spinach
T= Tomato
A= Avocado
B= Bacon (Jenny O turkey bacon to be exact)

Put these ingredients in between two whole wheat slices of bread and you have a low-calorie lunch that's sure to taste yummy and fill your stomach up at the same time.

Remember it's all about training your mind to substitute the junk food for the healthy food the way that God intended!!

Until next time,

Hey guys and gals, I know that I have not posted in a few days. . . but. . . drum roll please. . . you guessed the scale has now weighed me at 319lbs! It's an awesome feeling to be 20 pounds away from the 200's!! I don't know, do you think I'll be ready for that 10k in April? Definitely!!

Part 2: Shopping on a Budget when Losing Weight!

As many of you might as well know, losing weight can cost a lot of money. . . but. . . if you push your ego aside and hit your local thrift shops, you might be surprised with the results!! For $17, I was able to purchase 5 dress shirts and two pairs of pants, that's incredible! Mind you, you will have to search through several racks until find that jackpot, but it is so worth it! Just don't buy any of the underwear!! It was donated for a reason, lol!!

Until next time, have fun and hug the ones you love. . . and. . .
remember that Life Begins When You Start Living!!
