I love this place that I've found!

Fat Secret, it's like Smuckers, with a name like that, it's got to be good! Some may be too young to recognize that phrase, but it's a GOOD thing!

When I found this place in August of this year, I figured I'd use it to log my food and see how things went. Then one day, I made a journal entry.... I figured that was my journal and no one would see it, then I got replies from people asking how they could help, providing me with positive energy, and really acting like they cared!

"WOW! Wait a minute, there are others out there with the same issues/goals that I have?"

That's what I said to myself, so I tested the waters a bit and posted bit more. Yep, the folks on this crazy place wanted to help!

I've never been serious about losing weight until mid July of this year, and even when I joined this site, I figured I'd move along for a few weeks and then go on with life as I've done before.

But, I learned something, there are folks that WANT me to succeed! There are people that will follow my progress and virtually slap me upside the head when I want to be bad! There are people that MAKE me want to succeed! After a few weeks, I started to really like this place!

Move forward to today, greater than 3 months in, I've also become one of "those" people on here! I have folks that I look for on a daily basis to see how they are and how they are doing. When I don't see them for a few days, I get worried! I've provided support, given a few virtual head slaps, and I've been humbled as well.

Since I joined, I've lost over 50 pounds! If I'd been trying to do this alone, I wouldn't be at this point. Why, because I've gotten used to disappointing myself, but I'll be damned if I'm gonna disappoint people that have taken me on as a project! People that BELIEVE in me! People that have never met me, but they want me to succeed!

Yeah, there are days I want to quit, but I'm NOT gonna let YOU down! I'm gonna do this! Because I want to, and because my FS family will refuse to let me fail as long as I interact with them!

Yeah, some of you will say that I've said/done this before, but I say THANK YOU to FS and to ALL of the folks here! I really wish the rest of the world could see what we have going on here!

Now, it's Friday night, let's rock this weekend and come into Monday WINNING and LOSING!

Cranky OUT!

What a week it's been thus far! Sleep has been ridiculous for several reasons, my kitchen has smelled like a custom bakery for the last few days, and work has me so stressed that I'm ready to move to the Florida Keys and become a beach bum! Marathon Key to be exact, but I'm ready to accept most any Key offer!

However, I would like to add that I've resisted the baked goods, eaten like I'm supposed to, and my stress level has been manageable due to the conversations I've had with a FS buddy here. Sometimes just getting it all out helps, even if it's only in fonts and not verbal! Keep that in mind if you're new here, lots of FS folks are here to assist you and listen.

In the past when I got like this in life, it would be cheeseburgers, fries, and LOTS of alcohol. Now, with my new way of eating, I can still have my comfort food, but it's now half of a rotisserie chicken with some good Cholula hot sauce, and only a wee bit of alcohol. Sometimes I'll toss in one of my fat bombs too!

It's kind of funny to me, I only got SERIOUS about this journey on August 1st of this year. 90 days in and I've not only seen a difference in my body and how I feel physically, but in mind too!

Last night when I got home, after a 19 hour day, I was HUNGRY! It was well past my normal cut off of 7 PM, but I refuse to allow my body to think it's starving. I went into the kitchen and saw several covered plates of cookies, some left over Halloween candy, and some assorted cake thingies. My wife has been baking for the local GS troop's bake sale this weekend, so LOTS of temptation! The refrigerator was where I ended up.

Tired, "starving", and in serious need of a shower, I opted for some left over steak, chicken, and shrimp. Nuked it for a bit, ate it, did my dishes, looked at the goodies on the counter again, then left the kitchen. I wouldn't have done that 3 months ago, I would have gone with quick, easy, and comforting foods! So the mind has begun to get healthier as well as my body it seems!

So, if you're just beginning this journey, trust me, it's gets easier, and it gets really exciting after a few weeks of discipline! I haven't seen the 280s probably since the 1990s! So, the excitement tends to be a lasting thing!

Now, let's all kick Thursday's butt and head into Friday!

I haven't logged in a few days due to some technical difficulties (killed my phone and iPad charger died) and also because I forgot to one day here at the office! I'll be back on it today though, phone and iPad are fixed and talking again.

I absolutely love this time of the year, not because of the holidays, but because a LOT of the meats that I started curing in the Spring are now getting ready to eat! Twice a year myself, my boys (if they come to town for it), and a few close friends get together to grind and process around 100-200# of meat into cured meats or sausages of one flavor or another. Most of the folks only want sausages to cook/smoke/freeze, but since I have a curing setup, I tend to make a few to hang out in the chamber for several months to a year. The flavor of homemade is so much better than you buy in a store.

Last night I made up a plate with regular summer sausage, jalapeno cheese sausage, and a black pepper salami. Also threw in some cheese and natural old style mustard. Very low carb, and great protein!

I hope everyone is having a great week and keeps on driving forward in our mutual quest!

Out in my shop today, I made 2 charcuterie boards for some folks.

Well any good craftsman tests his work, so I made my dinner on one of them!

Home cured sopressatta, and hard salami. I bought the cheeses. The little cups hold stone ground mustard and natural mustard. Great for dipping!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend thus far!

What a great way to start a Friday! Came in to work and was handed a shirt. "Here, try this on", I was told. WHOOP! I may have gone up a couple of pounds, but the 2x now fits! Not perfectly, but I'll take it!

I'm not a big selfie guy, but I had to do this one today! NSV!

I hope everyone has a great weekend!
