These pictures were taken 30 days apart. If you read my former blog, you will see everything that I did to attain these goals in such a short period of time. This blog will track my progress from today (day 31) to day 60.

10 AM Hiked Squaw Peak Mountain with my son Chandler and his friend Davey Mancuso. It has been about a decade since the last time that hiked this mountain and it is much harder now. I made it to the top, but if I had tried to do this 30 days ago before the transformation started, I don't know that I would have made it. If you live in Valley of the Sun (Phoenix), I highly recommend hiking Squaw Peak mountain. Bring a great deal of water. You will have incredible views of the city. By the way, My son and Davey were able to run up most of the mountain. I walked with multiple breaks. It gave me an opportunity to give them my 2 cents. It is easier to stay healthy and maintain your wellness your entire life than to try and reclaim what you've lost. They are both young and in great shape. I recommended making great decisions now. To start to decrease the amount of junk food that they are eating, increasing healthy foods and continuing to engage in regular exercise like this hike.

5:45 AM I went to yoga class this morning. All of the students were outside. The yoga instructor didn't wake up and we were locked out. I did have the thoughts of going back home to bed, but I have made a commitment to reclaim my health. Everyday we are given multiple opportunities to make choices. The way we decide will have a negative or a positive impact on our future. I am choosing to make positive choices. I got in my car and drove to another Bikram Yoga studio. When I got there the class was just about to start. I was able to pay a nominal fee and join the class. There were only 4 people in the class, so the instructor was able to give us personalized coaching and corrections throughout the session. I learned a great deal and I am proud that I didn't take the easy road to go back to bed.

Today is a great day. 7 years ago, I needed to by larger pants because of the weight I had gained. I was ripping my slacks at work because they were too small for me. I put the non rippped "skinny" slacks in my closet in the hopes that I would lose weight someday and I could wear them again. 57 days ago, when I started the NutriiVeda transformation, my "fatguy" slacks were beginning to get tight, I was on my last belt hole and I started to realize that I if I didn't lose weight quickly, I was going to have to purchase even "fatterguy" slacks and a bigger belt. Recently I sent 1 of my "fatguy" slacks to the dry cleaner. This morning I was putting on that fresh pair and they were very loose on me. I folded them back up on the hangar. I tried on my "skinny" slacks and they fit great. The best part is that my belt is now worn 5 holes tighter.
I am excited to see what the next 33 days will bring me. I am confident I will reach my goals.

After breakfast, we went to an unveiling of the headstone of a great friend of mine that passed away. His name was Dr. Brett Saks. He was one of the best people that I have ever known. My wife went to highschool with him and she and I went to college (Florida State University) with him. We were pledge brothers in the Chi Phi fraternity. He was a husband to Kim, a father of 2 children Aaron and Anna, a son, a cousin, an uncle, a patented inventor, published author, incredible musician, Doctor of Chiropractic, Naturopathic Medical Doctor, Acupuncturist and he had a nutrition degree. He was very funny and was always going out of his way to help everyone. He was killed at a very young age while training for a bicycle race whose proceeds would help special needs children. He and his bicycle were struck by a car a few months ago. After this extrodinarily emotional event, we returned to his home to spend time with his family and friends.

7:15 PM Tomorrow will be my 60th day of this 90 day transformation. I will continue this journey beyond the 90th day but I gave myself 90 days to achieve certain goals. I will accomplish those goals and I am proud of all of the milestones I have accomplished thus far. This being said, before I embark on the final 30 days, I have decided to reward myself with some icecream. Chandler, Angie and I went to ColdStone Creamery. I got Banana IceCream, mixed with hot fudge and M&Ms in a sprinkle waffle cone.
