Angel: Thanks for the words of wisdom! Stay Strong Tommy!
laura: I'm too long winded, too! Anyway, sometimes success can be scarey and we think we don't deserve to be happy...that's a bunch of b.s.! You DO derserve this major milestone/success in your life! Lots of love & encouragement to you, my friend...!
Laura: Tommy----I think everyone has binged in some sort of fashion....ie: drinking, shopping, and something else I probably shouldn't mention! ;-) We sometimes fall off our convictions, but then have to get right back on and start fresh without guilt and without remorse. Those two feelings can push a person back into the binging stage. Just keep sight of your goal and don't let anything stand in your way! You're almost there!!! You can see the light at the end of the tunnel and sometimes success c
Paula (again): See...I'm always too long-winded - My last sentence got cut off. What I wanted to say was - thanks for sharing all this with perfect strangers. I'm sure you'll never know the full extent of the positive impact you've made on many people's lives!
Paula: Wow Tommy...how inspiring. You and I actually started weight loss journeys at the same time and then we crossed paths right around the time I hit my goal weight - last July when we both performed with Party Patrol. (Yeah, that Paula.) Even though I have not had as much of a weight loss as you, I can still totally relate to so much of what you've written in your blog. There's no Skinny Cows at my house either! Thanks for your courage in being able to share such a personal journey with perfec

BlogReader: Nice to read how you've managed to lose weight, and how you've been able to stick to your diet and exercise regime...usually ;) .

Gail: Tommy Boy, I'm enjoying hearing about your progress. Yes, it's doable, and you'll do it! One day at a time. Sometimes setbacks, but 2 steps back, 3 forward.Mequon closed for 2 days :-( for remodel, but will be better when finished. Jeremy is good.

Gail: Tommy, got the info about your blog from your recent letter about Fitness Together. I'm in their program in Mequon. The Biggest Loser program inspired me to start exercising like this. I don't have weight to lose, but have strength to gain! I'm a lot older than you and I don't have much choice now but to keep exercising. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! You have a lot of people cheering you on. Jeremy is my trainer iin Mequon. You'll be a great example to a lot of people to want to feel well and live bett
Jeremy: Never noticed this part of you blog... Tommy I believe that your most challenging change is when you decided to change your life. The hardest part is over my friend. You are a success

Amy: I've been reading your blog since day one. You are doing great. I've lost weight and quit smoking all at the same time and it FEELS GREAT! I try to walk everyday, but it's hard to get motivated at times. The way you are losing weight is the best way and you will be successful. Keep writing your blog and keep being open with people about what's going on. Believe me that really helps. I've seen people not wanting help from their family and they weren't successful. If you keep involving pe

Rachel: Good Luck!
Jane: Hang in there Tommy - remember; everyone has moments when they don't feel good in their own skin. The confidence you have gained has made you decide to make you work harder and make you want it more. Boy - you have come so far. You are turning to exercise when you feel down - GREAT JOB TOMMY - you are going to get there I KNOW YOU WILL - WE ALL DO - "some days aren't to different from your dreams" - Jane
Tommy: Awww shucks - Thanks blogreader!!!
BlogReader: "A work in progress I am"...as are we all. "And as far as the ladies go, I’ll letcha know as soon as I find one – or one finds me."...I'm surprised you haven't been snapped up already.

Wrecking Ball

  • Mood: Ok
  • Music: Alice In Chains - We Die young

Ok, so it's been an interesting few weeks since my over-eating post...I just came off of a 10-day stretch where the band played every day - that was more tiring to me mentally than physically.  The heat, or more-so the humidity of that week of playing in a tent at the back of the State Fair was very draining - I made sure to replenish fluids - although, I probably drank more diet coke than water...I was surprised that at the end of the 10 days, my legs were feeling pretty good.  I was worried about the cramping I've been dealing with due to the varicose vein in my right leg.  There was only one night where I had one of those ceramps, but it went away quickly.  A couple of other days, my shins cramped while I slept...that sucked, but I made it through.  I think my fingertips hurt more at the end of the week than did anything else.  I still managed to make it in to Fitness Together for 2 sessions that week....no additional cardio though.  I didn't feel too guilty about that because when the band performed, we performed HARD.  I jumped around, ran, climbed on tables....definitely kept the energy level high. 

As far as food goes at the fair, i think I did fairly well....Ha...."fairly"....I crack myself up sometimes....My diet mainly consisted of MANY grilled chicked sammiches from Brew City and big pretzels from the guy across the street.  I endulged one day and got some cinnamon almonds...those are just soooo dang good. 

I've still been sturggling daily with food/calories/nutrition/ over-eating....It's frustrating, but I try to tell myself just take it one day at a time....I've come a long way and I know what to do to take it off and keep it off.  I just need to get to the root of the problem and figure out what it is in my head that is leading me to this addiction.  I started seeing a new therapist to try and tackle some of these issues, and I seem pretty receptive to the ideas she has.  We're going to start next week with trying to confront some of the demons from my childhood.  I am a little nervous, as she said sometimes it can be very emotionally draining and can be like re-living the emotions and feelings - but when all is said and done, you can leave the physical reponse behind when thinking about those events.  I can't wait.  I want so badly to be healed and feel like a whole person, deserving of good things.  Self-loathing, doubt, self-pity and depression is a sucky place to be.  Especially when, looking at mty life with clear eyes, I have things pretty damn good.  I just need to clear out the mind-garbage and realize that I am not what I was - I am a new man, and I want my attitude to reflect that.  I'm hoping that my therapist can bring a wrecking ball into my head and knock down the walls that time and pain and frustration have built.  They're some pretty strong walls, thick with mortar made of hurt, and pain and suffering....But I want to confront it all and bring in that wrecking ball.  Bring it on!!!

I ate excessively last night too....not a ton of food, but enough where I know it was a reaction to stress and perhaps boredom.  My gramps is back in the hospital - his dementia is pretty bad, and he has Pneumonia and an infection in his ears.  I feel so bad for him - I wish I could take some of his pain away.  Last night the nurses had to move him to a gurnee to take him for x-rays.  When they tried to lift him, he moaned and said, "Awww, come on...I'm beat up enough...."  The sound of his voice broke my heart.  It's so hard seeing his health decline everytime I see him.  I asked him if he knew who I was, and he said, "You're Thomas' friend...."  <sigh>  I'm hoping he gets better soon....it's disheartening when your "dad" doesn't know who you are.  That makes me want to eat just thinking about it.  Damn food. Or, better yet, damn brain - it's not the foods fault - I have to take the blame for putting it into my mouth.  But, I digress.

I've been a little lax on the cardio too....I've been using the run at State Fair as my excuse, but I think I know the truth...I've just been lazy....I need to get off my tuckus and out of bed in the mornings and just do it.  I know I can, I know I will.  It's a matter of doing what's best for me....

Well, I think that's about it for now....I have two gigs this weekend - one at Miller Park for 102.9 the Hog and one on Sunday at Zoo Ala Carte....should be fun stuff.  Come on out if you get the chance - www.76juliet.com -   If I don't see ya, make it a great weekend -

love & Stuff,

Tommy
