Another day

I gave up the schedule for today on the previous post. I got up this morning, went to rehab, weighed, and found that I've lost 19 pounds since the April 23. I owe that to my new eating habits, and to the exercise. I also owe a large portion of gratitude to my wife, who has lost 47 pounds since the first of the year. I tell this to people, and they just shake their heads. Then they ask for her diet. You know, I can give out her diet all day long. I can have her come explain it, define terms, recommend habits, and tatoo it on the inside of their eyelids so that they see it when they sleep. The fact remains that she is committed. These people asking how she did it, tell me, tell me, please, are looking for the answer. The quick way out. The cure. (My other blog.) They don't have the committment. They don't have the want. They have not seen the goal. They have not looked inside themselves and seen what is in there that drives their dreams.

She has.

They will never do what she's done, at least until they discover in themselves the reasons for doing it. I admire her for what she has accomplished. I applaud her for the effort it took to do as much as she has so far. I look forward to watching her accomplish the rest of her goal, because I can see it happening now. I enjoy seeing the changes and enjoy the celebration as she accomplishes more every day.
