Grow My Muscles

It’s funny, I don’t feel hungry but I still have the urge to eat.  No matter what my urges, I’ve been real good today.  I had two plums, an apple and a poached egg. Even though I wasn’t going to, I weighed myself this morning and I’ve dropped nearly four kilos.  Isn’t that crazy?  I [...]

The family had steak for dinner tonight, while I walked on the treadmill.  I could smell it the whole time.  Boy, was my mind having some strong discussions with me.  "why not start tomorrow?"  But I was strong.  Walking on the treadmill will be happening each night while the family eats.  They seemed to take [...]
