Happy Valentine's Day from This Guy and His Pet Rooster!!
My co-worker comes back from her lunch and she tells me that she has a picture to show me.
She shows me this picture of a homeless guy and his pet Rooster, she said that she could not believe her eyes. The rooster's name is Garfield, and he was walking up and down State Street in Chicago. How random is it to find a guy with a pet rooster out on the street?
His sign does say Happy Valentine's Day, I just thought I would share this picture.

Keepin’ It Real by PractiKAL - Seg.5
Segment: 5
How is it going?
There is a difference between
eating GOOD and eating BAD. You can=t always fill up on bad stuff day in
and day out and expect results - weight going DOWN not UP. My theory is when you do good for so long,
you deserve a little bad. Meaning treat
yourself one day out of a week (still in moderation).
In my previous segment(s) I
mentioned telling you about #OperationPeelTheCoat. - I am finally going to tell
you.
When I made the commitment to
lose weight (my New Year=s
Resolution) many years ago, I followed
my own advise to you in Seg. 1 and Seg.
2. I took the challenge. I wanted to control my destiny.
So I did what I asked you to do -
I Envisioned how I would look six months from the time I started;
I Envisioned the reactions I would get from people once I lost
weight; I Envisioned people asking about my secrets of my
success.
Five months after I started - I
went from a size 16 to a size 8. Yes I
did. I stuck with it.
What made it even sweeter for me
was the fact that all winter long my weight was hidden under my coat. But when the warm weather really settled in, when
it was time for us toAPeel
Off Our Coats@ I was a size 8. When my train buddies, etc. saw me, they were
amazed at the new me. I got
responses like AOMG
you lost weight@;
AYou are
so skinny@;
ALook at
you - what did you do?@;
and some people even asked Aare
you sick@.
Remember, during the winter, the
only people who see really see you without a winter coat on are the people you
live with or people work with. So for
me, when I walked in a place that I frequented during the winter with my coat
on and when back with no coat, people bombarded me with questions about my
weight loss success.
Do you know how that made me
feel? ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! That is why I call it #OperationPeelTheCoat.
If I pack on a few pounds during
the winter, I automatically know what I have to do before I peel my coat off
the following year. I think this is a
clever way to stay on top of your game.
So during #OperationPeelTheCoat 2014 - I started challenging myself
again (even though I do not need to), but I always want to prove to myself that
I control my destiny. Actually I am a
size 6 now.
So for you, all you have to do is
be determined as I was and handle your business.
In the next segment, I will tell
you about my moderate exercise routine for those of you who claim not to have
time. You know that is a bunch of BS don=t you.
Another excuse !
Until then - - keep it real
