Print out one of our "Goal Setting Worksheets" and notice there is a place for your date and for your name.
You'll also notice seven steps you'll need to take to better help you accomplish this goal. These steps will guide you through the maze of goal setting and help you narrow down what goals you want to set and what plan of action do you need to take to accomplish these goals.
~ Welcome to Day 35 ~ Day 35: This is the VIDEO BLOG of my weight loss to 199 lbs and I want to wish everyone a HAPPY EASTER!
We had turkey with mash potatoes and green beans with the best bread ever! I forgot how much I miss the BREAD!
But Easter is over, Mexico is over and it's back to losing weight.
Now that I'm home from Mexico it looks like I've lost about 7-pounds on vacation, but I gained back 2.5 lbs. during the last few days, so tomorrow is the start of something beautiful!
It's back to 500 calories a day and losing weight.
The first 39-days is coming to an end and so is the HCG I've been taking... After 40-days of taking HCG, I have to take a break for 40-days.
That means I have to maintain my current weight loss and start a REAL exercise program. I have a membership at the local gym and I'm looking forward to moving the mass so tune in everyday for my second set of 39-days and watch me burn some FAT!
Also, be sure to leave me a message on the SKINNY DAN HOT LINE at 801-930-8403.
~ Welcome to Day 34 ~ Day 34: This is the VIDEO BLOG of my weight loss to 199 lbs of lean and mean Danny. We are home safe & sound from Mexico and let me tell you, where we went we felt safe the whole time we were there... Some parts of Mexico may be dangerous just like some parts of the United States are dangerous. You just need to be smart and only go where it's safe!
If you've been watching the last couple of days, you may be reminded of a line from the movie Trains, Planes and Automobiles. Steve Martin says to John Candy: "You're going the wrong way!"
That's how I feel about my weight. Today I'm 258 LBS and it feels like I am going the WRONG WAY!
Restaurants take their toll and now that we're home and getting ready for Easter tomorrow, I can get back on track. We'll have a little turkey and a few steamed vegetables and I will be back on the track to reach 199 LBS by July 24, 3009.
~ Welcome to Day 33 ~ Day 33: My VIDEO BLOG continues even though we have crossed the boarder and are now back in the good old U. S. of A. until next spring.
Mexico was GREAT even though I did not lose as much weight as I wanted... I still lost on vacation and now I'm ready to get back on track. Time to get serious, because I still have some serious weight to lose.
I got down to 255 lbs. in Mexico and I thought for sure I could reach 249 lbs. but I had a "blip" on the radar screen...
But SKINNY DAN is BACK!
We walked across a bridge here at Lake Powell today with the kids. Great exercise and a fun place to do the VIDEO.
Tomorrow we'll be home and doing all the things that need to be done to get ready for school and work on Monday.
~ Welcome to Day 32 ~ Day 32: My VIDEO BLOG continues as I continue to get skinny. I have 9-days left and I am hoping to get to 146 LBS. before the 39-days are up. It's tough on vacation but I have three more days and I just need to "white-knuckle" it and make it 3 more days here in Mexico.
Well it's official... Day-32 will go down as the day I ate the most food in one day in the entire 39-days. I did perfect at lunch... Then later in the afternoon I started on the crackers which lead me to a couple of cookies. But still, I was drinking water and feeling good and then DINNER time...
We went out with 45 people to see Carlos again at Lolitos and this time he was ready for us! Fajitas with guacamole and tortillas and then off to Thrifty for ice cream. The best ice cream place in PuertoPenasco is THRIFTY'S and I had TWO SCOOPS and it was so good!
But shortly after I felt sick and now I'm paying the price. This is officially then end of my "CHEAT DAYS" and tomorrow this time I will be back on track for good! Take it from me, the "cheat days" aren't worth it. Period.
So remember...
"Every now and again even Skinny needs a cheat day!"
~ Welcome to Day 31 ~ DAY 31: This is a VIDEO BLOG of me losing weight and returning to the "weight-of-my-youth. A slim & trim 199 lbs. of pure Danny love...
Okay... Today was not so good. You might say: "I fell off the wagon." I had more food then I should have and I had cookies after dinner... It was a BLOOD BATH!
It all started because I weighed in today at 255.5 LBS. which means I weigh 1/2 pound more today then I did yesterday. I was discouraged and I think I "slipped" because I needed a day-off on my vacation.
Well the DAY-OFF is OVER and tomorrow I get right back on track. No matter what I weigh in the morning, I've made the decision to get right back on the horse and ride again!
I said I could lose weight on VACATION and I am going to LOSE WEIGHT on vacation.
So tune in tomorrow to find out what the "cheat-day" will cost me on the scale and if I can really go back to a strict eating plan after letting go for 24-hours.
~ Welcome to Day 30 ~ DAY 30: My VIDEO BLOG continues as I travel to 199 lbs. of pure Danny love... I went to a restaurant called La Curva and met my new friend Javier who helped me stay the course as I weigh in today at 255 lbs. I am grateful for all the support I get from my life-long friends and my new found friends like Javier.
For $13.50 US my friend Kevin (kevin@39days.com) had Javier bring out the "Mexican Fiesta Platter for Two" and let me tell you this thing did not disappoint!
Take a look at all the Mexican Delights that came on this large pile of taste bud explosions. Everything you could want in a plentiful Mexican platter was colorfully displayed for your dinning pleasure.
Look, I love the food at LaCurva, but tonight the grilled chicken with a side salad was enough for me as I get one step closer to my goal. It's hard to believe that in 9-days I will have reach my first set of 39-days and possibly a weight loss of almost 40 LBS.
~ Welcome to Day 29 ~ DAY 29: This VIDEO BLOG is all about 39-days in my life. Today is Day-29 and I have ten more days left until I get to my first 39-days. I am going to lose 100 LBS. and I know it'll take more then 39-days... I'm just working on it one set of 39-days at a time! Stick with me and together we can change ANYTHING in our lives 39-days at a time.
Look, my Dad always said the definition of
"stupidity" was doing the same thing over
and over while expecting different results
and he was right...
Combined that with this quote:
"Life's tough... It's even tougher if you're stupid.''
-- John Wayne
If the two quotes have any truth to them then you have a lot of "stupid" folks walking around making life awful tough on themselves...
I say STOP IT! I say make everyday like Friday because you can... I know, I know, Craig will say I'm "too preachy" but this is what you need to hear:
#1 You can change to something better, bigger, you can live your DREAM!
#2 Only one stopping you from being all you can be & having all you can have is YOU!
So sleep on that and come back tomorrow for Day-30.
Day 28: Okay, I had another "Apple Day" today it worked AGAIN! I lost 2 LBS. from yesterday so now I weigh 256 LBS. I love those APPLES!
I took a ton of photos around the resort today in Mexico... I am trying to do things that will keep my mind off of food! Not easy when everyone around you is eating all the food you love. But you know what I say?? Builds character...
Nothing better than to learn to say "NO" to the things I know I should not do (like eating a whole pie). Denying yourself of impulses makes you stronger. Whenever the Spirit can control the will of the body, you build trust and confidence within yourself.
With that trust and confidence, you can then go out and build trust and confidence in others. And show them the greater-self inside so they too can reach their full potential in any of the "39-Days" events they want to create for them selves.

Day 27: The VIDEO BLOG of me going down to 199 lbs. is still up and we're still in Mexico. I am have another APPLE DAY because I weighed in at 258 LBS. again and I'm tired of not losing weight.
Okay so I just had my fourth I didn't even want to do the VIDEO BLOG today because
Day 26: This VIDEO BLOG is my 39-Day journey to a skinnier me and today was the WORST! I ate too much and all I could think about the WHOLE day is food.
The idiot who said you could go on vacation and lose weight needs to have his head examined. I'm eating nothing then I have too much of one thing or too much of another between meals and I screw the whole thing up... What a waste.
I didn't even want to do the VIDEO BLOG today because I'm so discourage. I had friends show up today and Mexico and I have more friends coming tomorrow and I know the temptations will get only worse...
So I've decided it's time for an APPLE DAY! That's right. All I'm going to eat tomorrow is five apples and no fluids and then on Day-28 I'll see some results that will kick me in GEAR!
So here we go for another APPLE DAY and I hope to have good news for your after tomorrow is a faded memory.
