New Outlook

I know one thing for sure that this "plan"  of mine and blog have done for me in a short period.  It has me thinking and reading a bunch.  Check out this dude.  He is an accomplished marathon runner who is preparing for his next event by only eating McDonald's.  While the event itself means little to me personally it has me thinking.  I wonder how he can do that and not feel like total crap.  Maybe it is different because he is in such good shape.  The thing that made the impact on me were all the comments about the article.  People discussing what fast food does to your body.  To be honest if I would have read this earlier I doubt it would have had an impact on me.  I have always known that fast food is bad for me.  Not to get all dramatic but I have been incredibly lucky to still be here.  That is what I am starting to understand. Through my back problems I had to get a complete physical.  Despite my condition physically and the fact that even the doctor did not have a scale that would handle me I came out somewhat healthy by the numbers.  The only thing the doctor said he had an concern about was a slightly high blood pressure.  Obviously he advised that I lose weight but I just could not believe that was my only major problem.

Here is the conclusion that I am making for myself.  Given my overall fortune.  I need to make this work simply because I know that I am not someone who quits.  I have left evidence all over my life that I do not give up.  Giving in to the weight problem and this back problem is just quitting on life.  Damn am I ready to do this.  WoooHoooo.
