The Weight Loss Trials

Friday, February 15, 2008

According to the scale...

I lost 2.6 pounds this week.

I dunno if I can take that as a victory of a defeat. I mean, it's a victory that I lost weight, but I dunno how much of one it is being that I didn't hit my target. Now, I have two weeks til the friends show up, and a 15-pound goal staring me in the face.

It's crunch time.

I'm even thinking about skipping pizza night. It's THAT bad. And the pizza we're ordering is some of the best stuff I've had since Pizza Papolis.

What's a guy to do?

  • Hey every little bit of weight is bringing you one step closer to your final weight goal. Congrats on the 2.6.

    And no you didn't remind me of Pizza Papolis. It's been so long since I've had one. I hope you did skip pizza night or if you didn't only limited yourself to a slice or two...hard as that is..:-)

    Keep on doing what you're doing and should hit 15 before your friends arrive.

    Way to go, umm, Mr Dubb...*LOL*.

  • Okay…did you just say 2 weeks until the friends arrive?!?!? …and you’re just considering skipping pizza night?!

    ::::: Excuse myself in front of guests, smiling politely….pulling your ass into the kitchen:::::::

    You listen to me kid…We have two – TWO – weeks until company arrives, so here’s what we’re going to do….

    1. Pizza – OR ANY OTHER FUCKIN’ CARB that conspires to turn to sugar on our ass is out – finished – finito – done! This means we’re not having pizza, rice, bread, a saltine cracker, etc. Don’t touch a carb or ELSE!
    2. We’re drinking water like they’ve turned your penis into a damn fountain. If you can stomach it, you should be drinking a gallon of H2O per day. Sitting at your desk, driving in your car, watching TV…whatever the occasion – we’re drinking water. You’ll only have the pee-pee urge the first couple of days…it dies down.
    3. Eating often / eating well (see my ‘Those bitches will be here in 2 weeks!” diet plan highlighted below
    4. Cardio, cardio, cardio…I don’t give a shit if you can bench press 400 lbs…. it doesn’t matter…you need that ass to burn…burn…burn. That means that whether you run, jog, walk, climb stairs, swim, etc. you will do a minimum of 30 minutes of cardio per day – PER DAY! We prefer the full hour, but I know how time constraints can affect a brothas workout
    5. No soda, fruity juices, sugary snacks, desserts, candy, etc. Treat them like the poison that they are for you the next two weeks OR go for broke and only have them on special occasions for the rest of your life
    6. Alcohol – yeah, if you need to rub some on an open wound it’s alright – otherwise don’t ingest alcohol of any kind – beer, wine, champagne…what the fuck are you drinking champagne for anyway?!?!? We don’t have time to celebrate we have judgemental hookahs coming to see us!

    Most important, you will do fine. You see yourself everyday and can’t appreciate the progress you’ve already made.

    Now for that diet…

    BREAKFAST
    1 Boiled Egg
    1 Slice of low carb (carb counting) bread toasted

  • I'm an avid coffee drinker pa...if you know what I know, you'll get into it...quick...
    Coffee is a diaretic...making you, at the very least, feel that you've lost weight through losing water, etc.
    Get into it....don't hate. LOL ;)
