Good morning, friends and buddies!

It's Monday morning, and I'm in a great mood. I went to bed last night with headphones and the SLEEP LIKE A LOG CD. And yes - I slept like a log. It's been a long time since I've woken up feeling this rested.

This weekend I've been low on calories every day. This is not a good thing, but it's quite a change from struggling with snacks and candies and chocolates all the time, and having my mind dancing around that topic constantly. After watching the Paul McKenna Will Make You Thin show and listened to the CD, it has really changed something in me. It's completely taken my mind off off and snacks, and I love it. I will keep listening to these disks, since they in three days took out literally ALL my troubles doing this. I hope it's a lasting effect.

Of course, it's an effect that needs to be maintained. I'll have to listen to the CDs on a regular basis to remind myself, but that's a pretty reasonable sacrifice, I'd say.

Through The weekend i have burned 9000 calories, lost almost 5 lbs and consumed 3000 calories. Mind you, my indulgence day alone - which I skipped, as I didn't feel like stuffing myself - is 3200 calories and often pushes itself into Sundays.

These new tricks are definitely doing something for me. I love it.

Today, my legs are still hurting. Probably from getting on the bike Saturday morning, and afterwards doing three hours of yard work. I had to give up biking yesterday. I was actually on the bike, but it exhausted me in less than a minute. No fun. Today, I'm still sore, but nothing like yesterday. Today, I'm motivated, have the drive that I feel that I need to get going today.

Today, though, I have my heart set on biking 30 minutes only. I want to do a few other things before work. One being listening to the weight loss CD. I think it's a much better investment to motivate me to stay away from a 500 calories candy than to burn another 250 calories. Right?

Today, I'm thankful for :
- sleeping like a log.
- a more positive outlook on maintenance.
- Morning coffee.
- Wife watching the shows with me. It gave me someone to talk to about them, and I think it makes itnsink in even more.

Happy Monday, people! It's gonna be another day with no weight loss worries, and with the King being in total control. Life is good!

I really feel that the game has changed for me. I have new tools at hand and try really help me out.
