This blog is now going to be my vision board. It will contain information about diet and exercise along with cartoons and other things that I chose to post here as I go along this journey.

There are some recipes on this page but most of them can be found under the healthy recipe tab on my main page.

Rest Stop - Healthy Choices at Restaurants

This can't be good, two rest stops in one day.  I just wanted to post about my evening.  Dr. Scott gave another seminar like the one I went to in March of this year.  I went to talk with the people in attendance about how much Dr. Scott has done for me.  I know some of them probably thought, as I did, I want to talk with someone that is actually in the program.  When I was in Dr. Scott's office on Monday, I told Dr. Scott he could give out the address for this blog or my email address to the people at the seminar.  He asked if I would like to come and say something to them and I agreed.  It was fun to do it and I hoped I might have touched someone that was in attendance.  I may never know but if one person decided to change their life because of what I said, it will be worth the time I spent there tonight.

On the way home my wife and I were talking about this journey and the fact I was able to wear a shirt tonight that I hadn't worn in a long time because it was to small for me.  It actually felt great to be able to tell the people at the seminar I was in a shirt that two months ago was to small.  Sometimes I have a hard time believing that I have really lost that much weight but when I put those two shirts on tonight, it hit home and I love it.  Anyway back to the discussion between Vick and me, as we talked about the changes I have been and continue to make, I realized this journey is about a spiritual change as much as a physical change.  I am learning to put my spirit in control of my body.  By that I mean that I am controlling my body by listening to my mind tell me how much and when I should eat, not eating because my stomach tells my to put some food in it.  That is quite a change for me.  I have to keep going now.

Just a quick note about a site I came across tonight.  This site will allow you to enter your zip code and find a restaurant with healthy choices.  You would have to look at the choices and see if they fit in the Repairvite or Clearvite programs but I think you could probably make one of the choices work.  I found a couple that would work and it is nice to know I can still take my wife out and keep on this journey.  The link to the web site is:  http://www.healthydiningfinder.com/home
