Weeks 12-14 - Sorry For being late


Sorry I have not updated in a little while. I shifted my focus to some other areas. The Website got a bit of an over haul. We are back online now. We did the full measurements yesterday. We even re-took some pictures to compare to the start of the program. It is nearly un-believeable. I wanted to take the exact picture again so it wouldn't be the "tricks" they use on infomercials. Do you see what happened to his waist? He's lost nearly 4 inches at his waist!!! He looks alot different.

Though the pictures were awesome the measurements for this last interval weren't. But, having these measurements done we can look to the future.

Side Note:
I work with some people as more of a consultant doing one month check-ins. It's happened several times that they know they have not been doing what I have set-up for them, or worse, they may have gained. They want to be measured later. It is always the best policy to face facts head on. If you let yourself delay or put off measurements they you are putting off improvement. So even though I knew my father wasn't on target we still did the measurements.

The Plan:
We have a mission for this next four weeks. We want to get into 220's. The goal is 229.9 or lower.

How we are going to do this: My Dad will be out of town this week. He wants to jog a little more so he is going to jog everyday. The food has been a real momentum killer. Two main mistakes he was making is too many snacks and a dinner that was 2 times the size it needed to be. So our goal for this week introduce controlled snacks and purposely cut back on dinner. There is a point when people are no longer hungry. Most people will eat way past this level to the tight stomach feeling. You know you've had too much if you feel full.

I will be sticking on him pretty hard this week since this week is a planned turning point. He is also going to be hard on himself for this week. We have had great results so far by looking at the pictures you can tell. We are not quite halfway to his goal. It is exciting to think of what the pictures might look like then. He might start getting mistaken for me!! (I have a few gray hairs)

Thanks for keeping up with our progress. I will have a new update for you next week. Until then please visit our new message board and talk to other training clients and friends about anything. www.talltrainer.com.

I am totally blown away by Ed's change in appearance. Not only the waist but the chin and neck are more defined. I would like to join your challenge but I'm afraid it is too close to February for me to begin. Extend your challenge to March and you're on. I could use some awe and reverence! Either way, you are both to be commended for doing a great job! Thanks for the inspiration.
