Welcome to week 5 of the “Tour de Cinch” and a very special "Congratulations" to our good friend Natalie who is joining me on this tour. She is experiencing good results in inches and pounds lost, too. I’m most happy to report that I dropped another couple pounds this week. Yah! That puts me right at 12 lbs and several inches lost since the start. I’ve had a lot going this week so when I hit the scales this morning I didn’t know for sure what I’d see. Much of the weekend took me out of my normal routine from a Saturday wedding of a great friend to an all day away from home concert that New Promise Band did in Mayfield, KY. In case you don’t know, I’ve been their incredible drummer for about 20 years and yes I just bragged because no one every brags on the drummer, right?, LOL. I must say though that it was all a “cinch” weekend even though it did involve eating out which if you’re like me, can pose an additional challenge. Speaking of eating out, when I do, I try to go for the healthier items if possible and avoid wasted calories but no, I don’t necessarily count calories. Dar and I attended a series of health related clinics a few years back which focused on portion control and the emotional state of overeating. Since that time I’ve always understood that fundamentally, no matter what diet or eating plan you are on, learning moderation is really the long term solution. The Cinch plan has fit very nicely into this way of thinking and has enabled me to return to the controlled way of looking at eating. Does that guarantee success in the future? No, but it does mean that I’m at least reminded again of how the age old truth of God’s word concerning moderation is still the best answer.
God Bless you all till next week!
