My family is dealing with a very sad situation but the bright side is that we now have a beautiful baby boy in our care (my grandson). We are new parents again working our way through it. Thankfully my wife is supermom and is incredible with babies. Now I have no choice but to get fit, drop the weight, gain energy and ditch the bad foods that are hurting my body. When confronted with crisis, my appetite disappears. It has taken a week to even feel normal hunger pains. I have not had any of my usual cookies or treats in the evenings, and I believe this has greatly reduced the pain in my knees. I want to be so much better than I have in the past 5 years. I need to be. For my family. I have no choice now. And I am looking forward to every win.

My job is a computer consultant means I work late hours. And unfortunately I learned a very bad habit of snacking late at night. By not eating after 1900 hours, it makes a very difficult work life. But thankfully I've also lately been able to go to bed at 10:00 instead of 2:00 a.m.. getting a good night's sleep seems to have helped my hunger get in control. I almost broke down during a very stressful family event last night, but then I realized this is my first week on the new plan and I don't want to break that. This site this group is giving me accountability that I need. So if you can go to bed early, get a good night's sleep. Don't stay up late. Watching TV shows and eating. Get up early the next morning and watch your TV shows by yourself before anyone else is awake. But wait until later for delicious breakfast

Day two of no food after 1900. Drinking lots of water and walking 30 minutes. Feeling positive about the future.

This may be a shocker to some, but eating cholesterol doesn't appreciably increase your blood cholesterol levels. Don't take my word for it. Listen to Dr. Ovadia @ifixhearts during our 30-2LEAN, 30-day weight loss challenge. He's a cardiac surgeon and will be a guest lecturer. 30-2Lean was a challenge I invented to help the veteran community get leaner and fitter with none of the BS. We suffer higher rates of obesity than civvies and are more likely to have chronic pain. We talk all day about mental health but never about the importance of physical health. All this talk about mental health isn’t working. The veteran suicide rate is still atrocious. My solution was simple. Get veterans moving and learning how to change their fitness and health paradigms. Walk for 20 mins, do 10 mins of habit work and repeat for 30 days Brining in world class experts helps establish credibility and break long held myths around nutrition and fitness. Prizes help too. Come join us on Oct 28th. This is how we build our community back up. This is how we become harder to kill Sign up here: https://go.hardtokill.org/30-lean
