Ok, here's the deal. I am having a rough start to week 3. The first two weeks went great. I followed my plan exactly. The last three days however have been a disaster. I guess my will power went on on a short hiatus.   I am just going to blame it on Valentine's weekend. It was a combination of my beautiful girlfriend, and the incredible food at Biscotti's Restaurant in Conneaut. I was just a weak person all the way around this weekend. Can you hear the violins playing in the background?   Alright, I know what I did over the past few days and now I know what I have to do the rest of the week. I have to look at it as a minor setback. Honestly, it was worth every second of it. I would relive this weekend everyday if I could.   That being said, I have to increase my workouts a bit. I read somewhere that doing a half hour in the morning and at night on a treadmill is really effective. It is supposed to keep your metabolism burning for a longer period throughout the day.   I guess I will find out soon enough. I have noticed that my energy level is increasing slowly but surely. I know from experience that it will jump leaps and bounds the more weight I lose. My old "skinny" clothes are calling my name.   I have already started to go through them to see what I want to get into first. I can't wait. My motivation is still high, and it is going to stay that way until I reach my goal. I am fortunate to have great people surrounding me and encouraging me to do well.   Ok, I will talk to you all soon. Have a good night.   Keith
