October 26, 2009 - late flight down to Miami.
Lots to talk about and not to much work but lots of personal stuff –
Okay so first I have been losing lots and lots of weight since July. On July 3, 2009 I weighed 236 pounds. And for those of you who don’t know me I am not that tall. So here I was classified as obese, with hypertension and not happy with myself. I was wearing 40” pants, extra large tee shirts, having to buy 18” neck shirts and get the arm custom tailored because I didn’t fit into anything off the shelf. I felt like crap. This has been a long time coming. My weight has been on the slow up tick for a long long time. My primary care has been on my case, as was my Dad and my wife. But what to do? Yes we all know what to do but for me I needed something drastic. I thought about the lap-band but surgery, no way. I have tried every diet; Atkins, slim fast, you name it I tried it and they all work and then I gain it all back and more. So cut to the chase you say – In late June I was at one of my sites, a Cardiologist, who had a little flyer, ask me about weight loss. So okay I did and, not to sound too overdramatic, he changed my life. Today my weight is, drum roll please, 168! I have lost 68 pounds since July 3, 2009. And I have kept it off! I am in 33” pants, buying shirts off the rack, and wearing medium shirts and sweaters. When was the last time that happened? I’ll tell you when – 20 years ago when I was a dumb young Paramedics. I remember my uniform size, 32. I would be more than happy to tell anyone the whole program and how to do it. I am not selling anything I am just so happy and want everyone else to experience what I have experienced.
Next – I bought a Mac Book Pro and love it. I hope I never have to buy a PC again. This Mac is awesome. Fast, no blue screen of death and I can run windows on it too. I have to run IE for one client and it works fine. Again I am not selling anything but I will tell you I love this laptop.
Work – things are busy for me. I think that the market is finally loosening up and I am getting lots of calls for both contract and salaried jobs. So everyone take heart and send me your CV.
Have a great week.
