Hey Jason!

Just wanted to wish you luck with your goals. No doubt that through consistency and focus you'll be able to achieve what you set out to do.

Thanks for all your help on this forum, being active, updating strength table, etc.

I look forward to hanging out for a longer period this summer. Keep in touch about the dates you'll be in Portland!

Thanks Robert, and everybody else for the comments and support.

All that cold air finally went back to Canada where it belongs.

I'm a big baby about going outside when the temps have a minus in front of them.

hey jason!
Do you find that as you lose weight you get hungrier??? that is happening to me as we speak! What do you do about it?

[Jason]

Hi Dani,
Actually I don't feel hungrier.
Probably because I eat healthier when I'm trying to shed the fat.
I don't count calories, just eliminate the bad and eat as much of the good as I want.
I need to keep these better habits during the rest of my life.
It is too easy for me to fall back to my old bad habits.
I'm an old dog trying to learn some new tricks.

I really need to keep adding more veggies into my diet.
Now I'm going to buy some carrots and make 1/2 gallon of juice for tonight.
Carrots, apples and beets.

30 minutes on treadmill
Veggies and rice for lunch
Orange for a snack
1 liter of ABC juice

Evening Workout
Just and easy lifting night, some bicep PL curls

[Jason]

Easy (lazy) day today, no lifting.
Fruit smoothie for breakfast
Cooked a big pot of beans, lentils and veggies today.
I used fresh carrot and beet juice instead of water, made a big difference, much better.

Hey Jason,

Thanks again for your support of our contest. Just wanted to say it again.....you are a stand out guy that we talk about often...we as in the Portland crew...we wish we had more time to hang out with you this past summer.

How is training going?

All the best!

[Jason]

Hey Robert.

Glad to be the topic of occasional conversation for you Portlanders
I wish I had more time in Portland, someday, maybe I can move there.
For sure, I'll spend more time there in the summer 2009.
You young guys can show me how it's done in the gym.

My training has been very sporadic.
I keep using the cold and snow as an excuse.
It's getting warmer so I won't be able to use that for much longer.
The temp here was almost 50 today, felt like spring.

See you this summer.
