Olympics, Life and Weight Loss

Gout is improving greatly. Now having a little bit of trouble with bone spurs! These things can hurt terribly as well. So far though it is very mild. Hope it stays that way.

I will weigh again on Tuesday. I am afraid I will not see much in results. I have not been good about my protein the last 2 or 3 days. Calorie intake must be less than 200 a day. I fear my body has entered the starvation mode. It did that the other week and I only lost 1 pound.

So Domino’s along with Coca-Cola is having a contest coming up where a franchisee will have the change to carry the Olympic Torch for the 2010 Games in Canada. I spoke with my managers about this. I can’t think of anything more rewarding than to cap my weight loss and this new healthy life style change off with than having such an honor.

We are really going to focus on this. Even though winning doesn’t count on my losing weight but rather on store performance I feel it is a worthwhile goal to strive for. I think more than anything it is ceremonial in what I am trying to do.

The Olympics are about coming together across all spectrum's and uniting with one another. It’s about family and friends. It’s about life. And that is exactly what my journey is about…life.

It’s about living again. Not forgetting all the heart acks in the world or my life over the past 3 years but it is about rising above the challenges and telling the world that I am still here and I am not down and out.

What a way to shout to the world by running with the Olympic Torch raised high above me proclaiming "I am living again."
