A number of you have asked, “How are you going to lose the weight?”

A valid question.

First, let me say this:  I’m going for healthy.

This isn’t a game to see how much weight I can lose in 3 months by any means necessary.

I’m not doing a crash diet, fad diet, or starving myself.

I’m simply adjusting my unhealthy eating habits and getting on a better eating plan.

I’m replacing junk food with lean protein, whole grains, veggies, fruit, low-fat dairy, etc.

Like normal people.

Plus, I will get a reward meal once a week.

Food isn’t the bad guy.

It’s been me and some bad habits that are the culprit.

I also stopped working out several years ago.

And I sit behind a desk all day.

That hasn’t helped matters.

So I’m training to run a 5k on Thanksgiving Day called The Turkey Trot.

I’m using the Couch to 5k plan to prepare.

I’m also hitting the weights and doing the 100 pushup challenge.

Maybe I’ll try Richard Simmons Sweatin’ to the Oldies while I’m at it.

On second thought…

Bottom line: I’m eating more nutritiously and working out.

I’m a simple guy and am using a simple plan.

In 3 months, I’m not sure how much I’ll weigh.

But I do know this: I’ll be healthier.

That’s my challenge.

The challenge for you is to stand up and give a buck a pound in the next 3 months for these six life-giving causes.

That’s it.

Are you in?

It may not be much but together, it can be.

Thanks for stepping up and please spread the word.

Now if you’ll excuse, I’m going to go for a run around the block and then squeeze out a push-up.

Grace and Peace,

Jason
