2005 Goals

Hi Everyone: Happy Friday to all!!! We have all survived the first week of the year and I just wanted to share my goals for 2005. I thought of this as I was looking at the increased attendance at my gym this week as all the folks *****solved to exercise swarmed in. I wonder will they all be ther a month from now once the pain sets in (LOL). My goals for 2005 are: 1) Maintain my exercise program. I've been goung to the gym at least 4 times a week since I was six weeks out in November, 2003 and it is now a part of my life. I don't feel right if I miss a day. I will have been weight training for a year at the end of this month and it really helps with the sagging skin that is filled with muscle. 2) Never stray away from the principles of Protein, Water, Exercise and Vitamins. 3) Appreciate everyday what WLS has allowed me to accomplish. Confidence, energy, regular sized clothes, shopping in regular stores, the women telling me how great I look (LOL). Till next time, Jesse 373/190/-183

Hi Jesse, Just wanted to let you know that I read your article in OH. You are an inspiration and I'm sure that it helps to get the man's perspective since both these message Boards and even the magazine articles are more heavily populated with women. I love your Goals for 2005 - they are simple yet exactly what needs to be done. I respect that you seem to always keep your focus. Until recently, I was pretty much the same way and have somehow taken a slight detour - I know now that I have to refocus and get back to where I was. Patti 306/134.5 -171.5
