Hi friend, how are you?
What victory did you have this week?
Mine was unforeseen but it happened 😁
I lost 7lbs this week, I didn’t get sick and it was not water weight, I promise you that 😁
Did you see the movie “Ford VS Ferrari”???
In it Matt Damon plays legendary race car builder Carrol Shelby
Shelby is approached my Lee Iacocca ( John Bernthal / “The Punisher” )
Iacocca was dispatched by Ford to try to recruit Shelby to build a race car for Ford to beat Ferrari at Le Mans ( very famous 24 hour race in Le Mans France )
In the video ( which I hope you watch ) Shelby explains to Iacocca what it will take to win
Carrol Shelby was known as a no b.s. / no sales pitch / just tell it how it is kind of a guy
And he was known to always speak truthfully / with tact / and never over promised then under delivered. The world could use more people like that today
If you’re wondering how I lost the 7lbs in one week this is it: WORK
I didn’t change a single thing I eat
I didn’t add any new workouts or super sauna sessions
What I did do was something I’ve spoken about before
It wasn’t easy, and it sucked a couple of times, but I stayed on course
They say one of the very fastest ways to lose weight or lower your A1C besides stop all sugars and carbs immediately is simply to walk after EVERY meal
This last week I did that / Even when I didn’t want to
The science behind it is this
Walk for only 5 to 10 minutes after ~EVERY SINGLE MEAL~
Your window of time is within 30 minutes of eating / 30 Minutes after is the MAX
But the closer you do it ( lets say 10 minutes after instead of 30 ) the better results you get. What that does is stabilize blood sugar levels

Remember how I was in that art show on Friday? yeahhhh ummmmmmmmmm I ate some cake at that event….. lol…. ohhhhh and maybe a couple / few / some brownies too 😁
That’s not to mention the mashed potatoes coma I had this week…. Yummmzzzzz
One challenge for me is I sometimes eat dinner later at night, 8pm sometimes even 9 pm
Tuesday I ate at like 915 pm
At 930 pm I put on my orange reflector vest, grabbed the flashlight, and my feet hit the street for 2 miles ( I got a 2nd wind I guess, that was after all of the mashed potatoes )
You can’t out train a bad diet, you can’t…. Maybe if I hadn’t had those 2 “chow fests” I’d be down 9lbs instead of 7 🤷♂
And this could be a first week jump starter thing, time will tell if it continues at this rate / but I’m excited for my future self
Yesterday I went hiking out in the woods, this short 15 second video shows one of the many / many / many reasons I love being out in nature
And if you can’t walk after meals substituting with body weight squats for sets of 10, then do 3 - 5 sets can be a good short term alternative…
Or marching in place, but you’d need to do a lot of that
You’re wanting to get the blood moving in the lower half of your body
To win Le Mans it was going to take work
You can’t buy victories
For me to lose weight I have to keep doing the work
I can’t buy being fitter or in better shape
There are lots of things in life we can’t buy
And they always come in the way of a victory
Do me a favor? Both videos are very short / mine is only 15 seconds
Check the both out / you might be glad you did
We all deserve victories in life / but we only get what we work for
Invest wisely, live charitably and be well
