MY REVISED RECOVERY PROGRAM

The basic diet will be the Rosedale Diet, with a wee bit of South Beach thrown in if my weight comes off easily. There will be good weeks and not so good weeks, but my focus is on eating rationally and efficiently. I am experimenting with the Rosedale plan, and am fine tuning it...cutting back on fats, adding more vegetables, and limiting protein. I plan on working out 3xweek and walking 3xweek. I know that the weight will come off if I do this, and there is no concrete plan to follow apart from my own discipline and common sense guidelines backed up by prayer and balance in my life. No matter what happens at Safeway, no matter what challenges and stresses come my way in life,I will do my best to stick with the plan and make it not only a diet but a lifestyle and lifelong discipline. My three areas of recovery are still important, and I want to submit to common sense accountability from God and from others. Among my long range goals, I want to attempt to bicycle again and enter the 2010 Elephant Rock Century, with no specific distance goal in mind. Depending on how I feel and how my body responds to the changes, my goals may change. These weight goals are only rough guidelines. I want to get under 220, and as far under as I can while still remaining healthy and strong. My overall goal as of this writing is to find my best weight for my health and to keep my diabetes under control, reducing and reversing the nerve damage, strengthening my heart, and preparing for a cycling comeback in the year 2010.

Year End Summary and revision of plan for 2010 season will be done at this point.


June 1st: 2010 Goal: Elephant Rock Bike Ride at 50 years old!

Today, I watched 37 year old Lance Armstrong find the limits of his fitness as he bowed to the 27 year old Alberto Contador. If Lance is having problems at 37, think of me at 50! The comeback will not be easy, and there have been times that I have thought such a thing impossible. My main goal, however, is not the comeback itself, but in following my diet and fitness plan. By so doing, I will strengthen my muscles and cardiovascular system and will weigh nearly 40 pounds less than I did at age 31, my peak shape year. Additionally, I am fine tuning my diet and exercise to fit me and me alone. I will utilize all of what I have learned and for the first time actually complete a chart!!!
