It’s the morning of day (27) on the Ultra Lite program and I’m now down another .5lb, 13lbs total – 161.5lbs.  My original goal weight was between 160-165lbs and a body fat of 10%.  My estimate is that I will have to hit 155lbs to reach 10%.  Diego Sanchez, watch out.

January 15, 2010 – Fuburary 13, 2010 

Age: 45 years, 5 months 

3 weeks to go until my Sonoma wine tasting trip, then 4 weeks until we leave for an all inclusive trip to Puerto Vallarta.  My goal as of today will be at 10% body fat by the end of March and somewhere between 155lbs and 160lbs.  I will have to add 45-90 minutes of cardio, per week into the equation, along with 3-4 hours of weights.  This is very doable.  I can’t wait for next months pictures.   

It’s the morning of day (25) on the Ultra Lite program and I’m now down another .5lb, 12lbs total – 162.5lbs.  I am totally amazed that I could drop 12lbs in just 25 days, and this is for a guy who really didn’t need to lose weight.  I know people are looking for fads like “HCG injections 4 weight loss.” This is for life folks – NOT A FAD!

It’s the morning of day (23) on the Ultra Lite program and I’m now down 11.5lbs – 163lbs.  My body fat is down to 13%.  I have till March 5th to see where I’ll end-up.  Then 3 days of wine tasting in Sonoma, followed by 7 days at Dreams in Puerto Vallarta.  Ultra Lite when I get home.

It’s the morning of day (19) on the Ultra Lite program and I’m now down 11 lbs – 163.5 lbs.  Eleven pounds may not sound like that much until you try walking around with two five pound bags of sugar, for 8 hours.  Try it for just 10 minutes and see how you feel.

My mom says it's just baby fat.

Here is an interesting observation: Since I’ve been on this program I have been sharing my story with everyone I know, meet or have as a friend on the net.  You know how many people have said, “you know, I would like to lose a few pounds too and get back into shape?”  One!  And she signed up today to complete the program.  My conclusion, which may be right or wrong, but I feel it’s more correct than not – most people are satisfied with their current weight and level of health.  Either that or they have gotten so used to how they look and feel that change is not in their reality.

You would think that most people would want to live a long and healthy life, and take proactive steps to guarantee that it would be that way, when they’re seniors.  For some reason it’s not working out that way.   As an example: Most of my friends are in there mid-forties and have known me for over 20 years.  The number of those friends that has asked me for advise or help, one or two.   Now maybe it’s because they think of me more as their buddy, than as a doctor, but they know what I do, how I look and how I act.  So, really there are no excuses.

That’s my two cents for the day.

It’s the morning of day (17) on the Ultra Lite program and I’m now down a total of 10 lbs – 164.5 lbs. This is new territory for me. I haven’t been here or below since undergrad. As a gauge, I graduated high school at 157lbs, though with not much muscle. It will be interesting from here.

I still feel great, energy high and sleeping good. There are no cravings and I have to force myself to eat all the food Ultra Lite want me to. Lunches are the hardest. I fill-up very quickly. It’s not a bad thing, as I will eat the rest an hour later for a snack.
