A little Perspective can go a Long Way

I had a great talk the other day with my brother.  He's such a great big brother - we're very close and at least talk weekly.  Sometimes we talk daily depending on what's going on in our lives.  It's funny because in my other blog I ended it with thinking about eating Paleo & then never blogged again.  Well, I told my bro about it & he basically blazed the path to eat that way & then I just followed.  Anyway, he's the healthiest I've ever seen him.  Two weekends ago he went to Big Bend with his bestie & they hiked at least 20 miles.  However, he has decided for the first time in about 1.5 years to have a full on cheat weekend including beer & good old country cooking.  He said it tasted great, but it put him back 7 lbs.  SEVEN pounds?  He was all bloated and felt a bit sluggish.  My point?!?!?  It only took 3-4 days for him to start undoing all of his accomplishments & lifestyle.  If it only took him 3-4 days, what can just ONE meal do to someone like me?!?!?!  Talk about perspective...

My acid reflux has been pretty bad too.  I haven't been adhering to my protocol.  I can't figure out what's going on with me.  Hmmmm....Anyway, just going on.  OH!  No more novelty classes either.  I tried a trapeze class & it jacked my back up again :(.   So I am almost back at square one with that.  I am only going to concentrate on food from here on out until I drop below 150.  I seem to have horrible back problems at that point.

Hope everyone is well.  Smooches!  AJ
