Don't Let The Dog Days Get You!!

Hi Everyone: It's the end of another week so it's time for my regular Friday installment. I'm completing my 46th week since surgery and things are going along very well. I'm holding at 190 pounds and feeling great. I got the latest issue of Obesity Help Magazine and I found myself on Page 47 in the Before & After section. It feels wonderful to be acknowledged in the magazine and I'm looking forward to begger and better things in the future. I'm thankful that I can do what I can to encourage everyone to continue to strive to reach their WLS goals. Don't let obstacles deter you. Look at them as challenges that you can overcome. As we enter the "dog days" of summer we must remind ourselves to maintain our WLS routines and not give in to the lazy days of summer. As opposed to last year when I was 373 pounds, I find it easier now to resist just laying around doing nothing but eating and drinking. In fact, I feel bad if I don't get to the gym or I'm not moving around a lot. I have boundless energy and it has really helped me stay focused. Everyone have a great weekend and a fabulous week ahead. Remember, Protein, Water Exercise and Vitamins. Till next time, Jesse 373/190/-183
