Thomas Page coaches the 12U Bolingbrook Bandits travel baseball team. He is trying to lose 50 pounds before Jan. 22, 2009 to both improve his health and raise money for his team. This is his weekly journal for The Brook Blog.
Hi Everyone--thanks again for taking the time to read the blog for Thomas Page. Well, we have stayed the same this week. I have currently lost 15 pounds but can't seem to budge past this.
I am trying to work out extra with my personal trainer. He hopefully will be able to get me over this small hurdle.
My main focus this week was our team. We are trying to complete the roster for the team and have 4 spots still available. We are also starting to work on our fundraisers, which is always a challenge for any team. It does add a small amount of stress to one and this could be another reason for my lack of losing this week.
I must say one thing though, I may not be losing weight, but I am definitely losing inches. I have lost at least six inches from my waist. I cannot tell you how nice it is to be able to move that belt notch back farther and farther.
We are going to attempt a different type of diet, one created for diabetics. I have been reading about calories and fat burning and doing my research. Did you know that the average human body contains over 300,000,000 fat cells? It's very hard to imagine.
I am going to continue the diet, exercise and see my personal trainer 3 times a week, who by the way, is doing an awesome job with me. He is really helping me to learn better eating habits and picking better food choices.
Again, we are still looking for four players for the Bolingbrook Bandits 12U team if anyone is interested, please contact me at bolingbrookbandits@yahoo.com
Thank you again for all our encouraging words--Thank you for reading the blog this week.
