For me, the end of July means the end of summer, especially since I have to be at work on Monday. Ritefit, however will continue on through the fall unless a Hurricane or severe weather blows us down. This summer has been fun as I've met some great people and have shared many laughs with you. Don't tell my wife but I'm planning a little party at our home very soon. We had a party last year and everyone behaved so it wasn't that much fun! But we managed to have a good time anyway. We even served cake!
The beginning of the school year means a regular structure for many of us with holiday office parties filled with sweets and goodies we have difficulty avoiding. I have a love affair with sweets and have avoided refined sugar for the last two weeks. No cookies, pies, cake or pancakes is huge for me! My goal is to lose at least twenty pounds and get to 210. Changing my relationship with food and what it represents has been a big help. Avoiding Halloween, football tailgate parties, Thanksgiving and Christmas will be my biggest obstacles. Although when I really think about it, it's all in my mind. Remember when it comes to staying in shape, it's you versus you! One delicious fattening meal per week is okay. A whole day of binging on the wrong stuff is difficult for the psyche to continue to overcome. Much like a drug addict you've got to disassociate with the culprits. We're taking our week off to get the batteries re-charged, so we will pick up again on Monday, August 11th. People who fail are those who stop working on themselves, so keep working! If you have any suggestions or feedback positive or negative please me know. I'm a big boy, I can take it. I love you all. Thank you.
