The day in the life a of a weight loss guru

After a great night of sleep, I wake and open my eyes. I roll over and cuddle with my beautiful wife. This is the most pleasurable moment of the day. I then thank God that someone loves me and that I love someone.

After ten minutes or so of just holding her in the soft morning light, I slowly move to the side of the bed. (Even if you're not an old fart like me, always get out of bed correctly.) Turn onto your side, get into the fetus position, let your legs fall off the side of the bed and at the same time use your elbow to raise your trunk while gravity assists in placing you into a sitting position.

I look around and allow my eyes to adjust to the morning glow. I stand and thank God that I can. I bend forward and holding my elbows let my back and legs stretch. This is a relaxed stretch. I then meander to the restroom. I urinate.

I now weigh. I weigh everyday. I use an Ironman scale from Tanita that I purchased at www.thecompetitiveedge.com.

You should weigh everyday. A study done at tIn 2005 by researchers at the University of Minnesota found that people who weighed daily lost an average of 12 pounds over the term of the study, 2 years. Those that weighed weekly lost an average of 6 pounds. And those that did not gained 4 pounds.
