Every morning I am having a "choclo." Tomorrow I will put a picture of it here. It's basically a gigantic corn. Anyway, today I ate chicken in some amazing sauce, rice and then jell-o. I had this weird craving for chocolate cake too. I don't even like cake... not that I don't eat cake... it is just that I don't go after it. Who knows why I had to have cake today? Is there a craving devil that tempt us? What was that? I will not get rid of my belly this way! Help!!!!
I was talking with my friends here at El Comercio where I am working for this week and they showed me this picture from 2004 when they were impressed at how fat I was... hehe. But then I decided to do something about it and was very successful. I had a reason!!!The next year was going to be my daughter's 15th birthday. I wanted to look good and wear my son's tuxedo. So, I started doing the things my wife would tell me from her Weight Watche's program.
This is how I looked 3 months after that picture taken by the Peruvians and then in June (six months later) without any exercise in the beginning but then I was running and lifting weight at the end losing a total of 40lbs:
The question is if I can do it again. I think if I have this commitment to write here what I eat during the day, then if I fail it will be recorded here, but if I succeed then one will know how I got there. I can tell you that sometimes I don't think for a second before eating too much. I may just write here for myself or maybe people will come and give me support with their own experience or ideas for recipes and stuff to eat that will keep my calorie intake down until I exercise again and have muscles enough not to worry about eating a big stake in Buenos Aires or lots of Baleadas in Honduras.
