59 and Feeling Fine

Today seems fitting to begin day one of my twelve week program because it is my 59th birthday. The current state of affairs is chaotic. My house is cluttered and disorganized. I am 59 and feeling fine!

I started eating Tom’s recommended fat burning foods last week and it has given me new energy.  I was not counting calories, just eating these foods and eating more often.  I tried walking and slow jogging for my exercise but that did not work out because of pain in my foot.  I begin this week with the intention to dig my bike out of the garage and air up the tires and start riding it everyday.  I used to have some garage sale indoor exercise bikes around here but they were thrown out two years ago.

My two cats are driving me crazy climbing all over my computer desk while I work. I just threw them outside so I could write this entry. I am printing David Grisaffi’s book on Firming and Flattening your abs so I can bind it. I see that I am going to have to get a large exercise ball to add to my exercise corner.

Last night it was warm outside but today it is cloudy with a cold wind. I did not even want to go out there.

My first thoughts are to read Tom Venuto’s first Chapter again on brain training and that I need to get my head out of the computer and into my surroundings. I have been working on several web sites including my Build a Better Body in 90 days site at www.a-better-body.net .

I have put a lot of pressure on myself to achieve my goals of getting fit and loosing 50 pounds. In addition to joining the Inner Circle, and putting up my better body site, I created this blog to chart my progress. Maybe nobody is watching, but the whole world of the Internet could be, so the pressure is on.

Today I will take my official “before” pictures. Check back tomorrow for the beginning measurements and pictures.
