Have you ever caught a sidelong glance of yourself in a department
store mirror and been unpleasantly surprised by the out-of-shape
character who stares back? Have you ever felt the impulse to
destroy all recent photos of yourself? If you relate to these or
any other mid-life reckonings about your general state of health,
then you're sure to identify with author Walter Scott Allen, the
straight-talking, sarcasm-prone family man who woke up, got fed up,
and finally got fit. Now, in I Can See My Shoes Again: A Humorous
Yet Sarcastic Journey to Better Health, he shares his personal
story getting there, along with healthy portions of laughter.
Frank, funny, and full of genuine insight, this slender book will
give you the skinny on a no-nonsense health regimen that leaves no
margin for martinis or associated backslides. Offering a practical
approach to self-improvement, the author outlines common pitfalls
that trip up many of us throughout the day, and that come together
to make up a less-than-healthy lifestyle. Finding helpful humor in
each situation, the book offers a systematic approach to lowering
cholesterol, blood pressure, and weight. To do so, Allen shares his
own trials at the age of fifty with bad habits, vodka martinis,
fast food, and "the morning after" breakfasts that resulted in him
not being able to see his own shoes. He then reveals his own
awakening, and how he turned around his escalating weight and
overall outlook on fitness. From gym routines to daily menus, Allen
details his own no-excuses method to trim pounds, with nutrition
basics; exercise; healthy recipes; keeping a diary; and achieving
success. And, even in the face of these dramatic lifestyle changes,
I Can See My Shoes Again: A Humorous Yet Sarcastic Journey to
Better Health demonstrates that there is still plenty of room for
fun. Motivating by example, and delightfully non-judgmental, this
pragmatic book always keeps it real - so that anyone can enjoy real
results and a healthier future.
