Phase 1 Complete!!!

  Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to announce that Phase 1 in my epic quest to look good is officially complete.  I have torn down the dreaded wall and now reside in the wonderful land of the 170’s (see above artwork for reference).  I now weigh 177.5 pounds bringing me under the 180 mark.   Fifty-five days ago I started this journey and now I have a little less than half way to go to reach my 170 pound goal.  How did I celebrate this smashing success? Well, I had McDonalds for breakfast and Taco Bell for lunch obviously.  There’s irony somewhere in there, but I just can’t find it. Oh well. 

  Now it is time to initiate Phase 2. This involves MORE weight loss with some weight training thrown in for fun and giggles.  I will start by doing push-ups every other day and then add sit-ups later on.   By the time I’m done, Michelangelo is going to be begging his maker to return to Earth just to sculpt a likeness of my body.     

   Okay kids, thanks for reading.  See y'all next week.

To Be Continued...

I did not get to exercise this week due to bruising my ribs playing soccer.  It seemed like the opposing player tried to go through me rather than around me when trying to score.  It did not work out for both of us.  To top that off, I went camping this past weekend and pretty much lived off this:

That picture is probably a good estimate of how many I ate in a single day.  Hey, those are CIDER donuts so I was just trying to fulfill my daily fruit intake.  Needless to say there is a good chance I did not lose any weight this week.  With that said, I will officially dub this past week an "off-week."  I will weigh myself next Sunday.  Deal with it.        

Hitting the Proverbial Wall

    Picture myself slammed against this brick wall and that would be a good representation of how I am doing on my diet.  This is why I don't make promises kids.  Napoleon said it best when he said, "The best way to keep one's word is not to give it."  I failed myself and I also failed my thousands of loyal readers, and for this I apologize.  I also apologize for lying about having thousands of loyal readers.  I think I have like three people who read this thing, and they're not even loyal.  Now I have zero readers for calling them not loyal. I digress. 
     If there is good news to be had in this blog post, it's that I did not gain any weight this past week.  The bad news is that not only did I NOT lose the promised 2.5 pounds, but I did not lose ANY weight at all.  Ugh.  With that said, I promise to lose 10 pounds this week.  Ha. Just kidding.  Man, who knew an epic quest to look good would be so stinkin' difficult.  I will leave you with a visual representation of the weight I lost this week:    

Yup. Nothing.

He Shoots...He....Misses!

  Well, according to this little graph I created I am doing something right.  That's the good news.  Bad news is that this journey is taking a little longer than I anticipated.  This week was HORRIBLE, but that might be because of the mounds of junk food I ate throughout the week.  I don't think I used one bit of discretion these past seven days.  Fast food, check!  large portions, check!  Large Oreo ice cream blizzard, double-check!  Because of that, I only dropped a half of a measly pound this week putting me at 180.5 now.  Bummer.  But hey, why do we fall?  So we can learn to pick ourselves up.  I don't make promises very often, but I promise I will drop AT LEAST 2.5 pounds this coming week.  See ya next week with (hopefully) good news.  Cheers!
