I got lots of pain to dish out

Today I have been on the diet now for 17 weeks.  That’s 17 weeks with no bread, pasta, refined sugar or caffeine.  I must say I feel 100000 times better.   I have much more energy then I did before, I sleep better and I am not getting the hunger headaches I got before.   I have gotten two other people to go on the diet and they are both doing great as well.  I think this is definitely a positive experience.  I might miss chocolate and pizza but my health is much more important.

Veno asked me what my goal weight was.  He then seemed kind of shocked I don’t have one.   I don’t care how low my weight gets.  I want to get healthy, feel healthy and complete the J-athlon.  He doesn’t understand  it’s not about weight its about how I feel, how I move, and how clothes fit.  I will be back in my 2x clothes by spring.  Which means I have like 30 tshirts and pairs of shorts waiting to be worn.

Making more short ribs today.  Using the same recipe as last week.  We got the pig yesterday so no I now I need to find some pork recipes.  I plan on making pulled pork I just have to decide how to make my own BBQ Sauce and figure out where I can buy Xanthium Gum locally.

I am including progress pics.  They are the day I started, 8 weeks, then 15 weeks.  Yes I know I am a slob no one needs to point that out, I already did it for you.
