Thanks OnceIWasAYankeeFan.

It’s always possible to make a change. Best thing I can recommend:

Forget the past. Don’t lament about what you did to get where you are…it’s a waste. What’s done is done and it cannot be changed.

Don’t worry about the future. Don’t look, plan, or fret about some goal that’s way out there. It’s hard to score from your own one-yard line in one play. Think about small steps…first downs are more important than touchdowns.

Focus on today. The “now” is the only thing that you truly own and control. Eat well, this day…this meal…one meal at a time.

It’s just like anything else…don’t took back, don’t get too far ahead of yourself, and take it one day at a time…

Good luck!

Steve,
When I’ve seen the photos you’ve posted, I’ve thought there’s a super-fit guy who should eat a sundae occasionally. Not that I need the motivation but I’m at my worst spot yet, and am just a year younger than you were when you hit bottom. I don’t know if you’ve motivated me but its good to see someone make such a transformation at a similar stage in life.

Thanks yankees76.

Yes, the guy running the InBody 520 kept telling me, over and over, how good my score was…

I guess that don’t see that from an old-timer too often!

Congrats on the 22. Great job! Keep at it and good luck!

Steve, that’s ridiculously good. A body fat percentage under 15% is terrific for our age, especially if you are not in training for a race/competition or otherwise exercising regularly. I’ve taken 22 pounds off this year, but my body fat percentage is still nowhere near yours. I’ll check back in with you in another 12 months!
