Phase 2 Results!!

Well here we are...  Done phase 2 out of 3.  It is absolutely amazing how fast the time goes.  For any of you out there that continue to put things off to another date in the future, tell me, when will the day come where you get started?  I am 56 days into a program, and two months ago I was larger and certainly less fit.  It has come at the price of a very small 30 minute per day inconvenience, and I wouldn't change a thing, except work harder if I did it again.  And by that, I mean, I would watch my foods.  I should be cutting out sweets and alcohol, but I'm not.  How much better could my results be?

I can play devil's advocate on this one.  Is this not about changing my life for the better, by making changes that I can and will implement when this program is done?  Is it realistic to think that I will cut out sweets and alcohol?  For me, it is not.  So I will continue the way the program was built for me, and that is to continue with the exercises and implementing proper meal choices to hit my daily caloric allowance.  You can follow my meals and calories at myfitnesspal.com.  Look for user jfaure23.
