Going back on the Diet!!!
Wednesday, July 29th, 2009On October 15th, 2008, I made a bet with several people in the office about my weight. At that time we had just began the Beer Belly Buster Challenge. Rob, here in the office, bet me that I couldn’t lose 100lb in a year. On October 15th, 2008, I weighed 330lb, and by October 15th, 2009, I’ve got to weigh 230.
By the end of the challenge at the end of January, I weighed roughly 270lb. So what’s happened since? Well, I haven’t dropped anymore weight… in fact, I’m back up to around 290. I still workout everyday with my Belly Buster Buddy, Chef Nathan. I’m sure a good portion of the weight I’ve put back on is muscle (good weight), but I’ve also put on some of that fatty weight too… especially in the man-boob area. I think I’ve gone up half a cup size.
Since the end of the challenge, I started dating my way-too-hot-for-me girlfriend, Mary… and she likes to cook for me. She is a phenomenal cook. She makes the basin’s BEST ribs… hands down. Needless to say, I like to eat her cooking… now I feel a little jiggly.
So this week, I’m eating some of my favorite meals one last time. I had the ribs the other night, now I’ve got just got to have one last Winger’s wings w/ blue cheese meal and one last meal of Mary’s homemade enchilada’s. I’ll slowly ease myself into the diet the rest of the week. By monday, I’ll be full-board on the diet….
I’ll be eating 6-7 smaller meals throughout the day. Eating LOTS of protein, loads of vegi’s, and no carbs after 3pm. TONS of cottage cheese and carrots. And roughly the same amount of exercise, I have afterall, been working my ass off in the gym every day. Hopefully I won’t resort to chopping off body parts, but somehow, by October 15th, I’ll be down to 230.
