So I'm just home from the most amazing workout, not in a good or bad way but just in a very hard, painful, sweaty way. I mean we really work, every night its a different way to work a part of our bodies, be they big bodies, slim beautiful bodies or in between, every one just does what they can and then get pushed a little more. Now I run, not walk, now I can touch the floor, I can do 25 jumping jacks, my heart meds are gone, my heart is beating normally, that means higher number of beats than for the last very long time, no A-fib or flutter, just solid and reliable.
Tiffany is an incredible coach, never tires of telling me how to do certain exercises over and over again so I avoid hurting my back, my knees and still they hurt, in the morning I can hardly move, so sore but then its better.
Enough, on Sat. morning I do a final weigh in and if i have lost 20 lbs I can do a roll over to the next challenge and my $500 goes toward the next challenge and I keep on getting to enjoy the exercise classes for free, normally its $179 a month for membership.
Nikki is sweating her last couple pounds on this challenge, its much tougher to dump the weight when you don't have so much to lose, I'm worried about the next challenge and losing the next 20 pounds.
Today was a long drive, a little house in Sacramento, lots of traffic. This evening was spent at the local school as Keanna received a special award from the school board, it was fun to see it happen.
My friends and family, wishing you a good night, good morning.
Love to all

Its really good
So I'm in my 6th week of the challenge at P2P. By now most of what I do is by habit.
I love breakfast, 1/2 cup oatmeal, 3/4 cup egg whites fried with 1 cup spinach, very tasty and appealing. Then the next meal is a protein shake made out of some good powder, strawberries and frozen raspberries, ice and water, that is really good too. The next meal for me is 6 oz of diced Tofu with a combination of chopped up broccoli, cauliflower, Greek seasoning, a few mushrooms and cook like a stir fry. It is amazingly tasty and I'm supposed to have 6 oz of sweet potato too but so far I've not found anyway to make it taste good, I'm sure there are many ways. then another shake in the afternoon, another round of the Tofu and with each tofu stir fry meal I have a bowl of Romaine hearts with some great low calorie dressing from Burger King. Yes it takes time, in the morning when I wake I go for a walk for about 15 to 30 minutes, each evening at 9 I'm at the gym for a one hour intense workout with Tiffany, a total sweet and strict lady, surrounded by caring people I've learned how to do the exercises now and let me tell you its a workout like none I have ever done before, only dreamed of doing, during the day I feel strong, my heart meds are now gone, diabetes meds are cut in half.
I'm so thankful for Nikki setting the example for me and my heart seems to be doing great now, no A-fib or flutter at all.
So now its bed time my friend,
Good night and love from my heart to you

Moon is good, been sewing for friends for the last two days and so busy even forgetting to eat at times. She is a very good girl and I enjoy my time with her every day.

A Very Good Day
Often men discover whether a day is good or not by how much they achieve, I know that is certainly true for yours truly.
Today started fairly early with a brick 3 mile walk, then breakfast of egg whites and spinach fried and a 1/2 cup of real oatmeal, I like that breakfast very much!
Then I started working but decided to move some files that had been in the middle of the office floor for months, then took some stuff out of the shelves, dead cameras and other things that had been there for years, vacuumed the floor and threw away a full box full of magazines that keep coming, no I did not order them but they still come, I guess in hopes that I'll eventually pay for them, they are in the can now along with piles of magazine from the bathroom, who has time to read them when the bathroom is an ideal place to keep up with texts and facebook!
Yes I did start working and I set up every file that had come in all week, started writing appraisals and got a lot accomplished, had my protein drink at nook and a meal later of tofu, many kinds of veges all stir fried along with an excellent salad, all through the day I continued to drink and as of now have put down 8 bottles of water, I think that is why I lost weight last week, I made sure to get the water down every day, if you don't have a system to get the water down and monitor how much you have drunk it won't happen, well it did happen last week and I lost 5 pounds! Yes
Now I'm about to write one more report and then call it a day, Most of the appointments are made for the week, Livermore, Tracy, Stockton, Lathrop, Sacramento, Fairfield and Vacaville tomorrow. Love those orders.
Moon and I have talked several times today and she did out favorite thing, go to Walmart, its an adventure with her and she has me chasing some items while she does other ones, always fun and usually very late at night it seems. Right now she is gambling with her Chinese girl friends, they made a big dinner earlier and she hopes to win more than the $11 she won yesterday! She loves it, helps the time pass and she gets to talk Chinese as these ladies speak Chinese mainly.
She will call me after she talks to her mom and Crystal, her daughter once she has reached home.
As I need to go back to work I'll sign off now. Here is hoping you have a very good week. Ray helped me put in the new window in the door in the motorhome yesterday evening, just in time as it rained today.
Love to all,
Tim

So sorry for no posts for while
Friday evening, classical music is playing through my computer and I'm sore to the point where moving at all does not appeal very much.
I'm finishing up week 5 of the challenge and I've exercised 26 hours so far, you just have no idea what that means unless you have been there, every part of my body is sore but I'm making excellent progress, am more flexible and my heart is doing great so far. I'm down 17 pounds of the 20 needed to recoup my money and I weigh in in the morning so hope for a couple more pounds down.
Its been a very busy week, life takes more time now to prepare the meals, several a day, work is intense and I walk in the morning and spend a full hour at the gym each evening.
Moon has a birthday today which is very exciting, last year I was with her for her birthday so this day is sort of sad, being so far away. She is with some special girl friends that she enjoys and one of her girl friends prepared her lunch today.
Tomorrow morning Kallie has a baseball game at 10 so I'll be there to observe.
Life is challenging to try to get everything done on time and I've been picking up Kallie some days from school this week too.
I feel God is so good to us and I feel safe in His arms and His plan.
Love to each and every one of you
Tim
