Day 132
Look who's under 290
I really have to apologize here. I've been kind of lazy with the posts this week. Work is freaking crazy right now. It always gets a little bit nuts towards the end of the school year.
The good news is that all high school sports in Colorado end Saturday. That means my summer vacation can officially begin on Sunday.
All right, as for the diet, things are ok. Could be better, could be worse.
I weighed in on Tuesday to the tune of 286 (before working out, 285 after.) That is phenomenal. So we are happy with that, no doubt. However, there has been a real problem getting to the gym this week. I managed to slip in 20 minutes of elliptical on Tuesday, but had a work engagement pull me away prematurely.
So I can go one of three ways on this. First, I can give up lifting altogether. Second, I can resume normal working out as soon as possible. Third, I can ratchet up the workouts for the next three weeks and become a stud in the process.
I should go for No. 3. I will probably go for No. 2. However, these things have a way of making me do whatever is hardest, so I may end up going to No. 3. By the way, the website that will provide you with a full body workout (for free) is www.fitrex.com. Just looking at the workout scares me. That is my option No. 3. That workout would probably give me the best chance of actually getting into shape, but it would also take three hours a day to do. I am still contemplating it.
I did something kind of crazy today. I got two sandwiches from Subway. That, of course, goes against my goal of only getting wraps. I got a foot long and a six inch. I ate the three six inches at three separate times. So it wasn't all that bad. All told, it came to about 1,000 calories for the three of them. And all told, I had about 1,600 calories today.
Really people, I am telling you this as proven fact. It does not matter what you eat. if you want to lose weight, it is all about calorie intake. And if I want to eat three foot long Subway sandwiches per day ...
Break for a sex scene on skinemax. Ooh this one is called "The Sex Spa." This is a good scene, The music is in the background. The music in the forefront just mucks it all up. It is such a hack move by the director. You hired the actors to pretend like they are screwing on camera, let them do it. By the way, how can I get into the business of writing softcore porno movies?
BACK ... then I will have three foot long Subway sandwiches per day. And you know what? It will be good for me because I burn more calories per day than the three sandwiches will put in me. If I want chocolate, then I can have chocolate as long as it is less calories than I burn.
I've said it before and I will say it now. Most of this is about portion size. Everyone gave me advice on what to eat when I began. But no one ever really said how much I should eat. Everyone has their own way of losing weight, I guess. And I really enjoy hearing people's suggestions of what is good and what isn't good. But at the end of the day, I kind of like sticking to the plan I used to lose 84 pounds in 130 days.
Now, why did I get all militant and angry there? I don't really know.
