yikes! getting lax about the skinny updates on the blog, among other things, say, quality content, maybe…

so, short and sweet. barely any progress after a horrendus holiday break and a strong coomeback week after the holiday. a week ago wednesday, i was barely able to see the scale display hiding under the gut, but it did read 233.4, up way too much for my liking. boy did it stress me, but i recovered in the week since and yesterday i was a stupendous 230.8! yes! below 231! i think this week i might actually be able to make it beloww 230. just you wait and see next week just before the ironman triathalon!

ep# 011 - ironman

in this episode i go on about the ironman mini-triathalon next week on apr 29.

good news - bad news, week 10 saw me down 2 lbs to 231.6, but this past week there was no change. bloody snickers ice cream bars!! after all of that hard work every morning, getting up early, going to the gym, working out for 45 min or more. nothing to show for it. this week will be different, ’cause there is no way that i am going to make it if i keep screwing around like this. i need to lose 10 lbs in a big way over the course of the month of april, and i am not getting anywhere as of today, i can’t even get below that evil number 230!

so good-bye snickers, good-bye ice cream, good-bye m&m’s, good-bye any other evil lurking…

on an interesting note, i think i am being gently pushed at the gym into competing in a indoor triathalon. it is a simple(ish) one: 2,000 meter row, 2 mile run/walk, 7 mile bike. i can go it alone (ironman) or find 2 people better than me and go in as a team. either way, apr 29 is the date of the event. sound like something i can accomplish, so i am thinking that i will enter. maybe that will help me get skinny, or maybe it will be these chocolate double stuff oreos that i am stuffing into my face…

ep# 008 - everyone poops flutter

in this episode i briefly discuss 3 things i saw on witter that i thought i should share vocally, not that it makes sense to share 2 youtube videos and an ubuntu derivative, but i also go on a tangent or 2. just bear with me as i get better at this and even hopefully spark some pity from a listener to become a guest on the show…

i’ve made it to episode 7! thank you, thank you. i know i suck at this, but now i am trying to make it short, like a single topic or thought, so that it is easier to edit and push out, so that i can do it more often. who says this should feel like a burden, when the information is only useless entertainment, anyway.

so episode 7 is a short juicy morsel that is my reflection on on the movie knowing, that i just wasted $12 on. enjoy.

This is a funny video for all those that twitter… It’s making fun of you!

i have made it to a milestone, wow, that was hard. week 8 showed no progress but this past week i focused on lowering calorie intake and increasing the intensity of the exersize plan and it paid off. i am now down 10 lbs to 233.2. my next goal is to crack the 230 mark. for some reason, this has been a hard milestone to achieve. last night i relazed a little bit and ate a little bit of cake, and stayed up way too late into the night, and then i missed my exersize window this morning… see what i mean about the 230 barrier? i hope that i get time on the machine tonight and can thwart the temptations, as i have all day so far been able to. what i really need is 1 month of no sugar to drop me down a good 10 lbs quickly. that would put me in a good position for the summer. here goes no sugar, er, near no-sugar.

so i’ve been lax on the skinny updates, sorry, a lot as been happening and stressing me to the point of not really posting anything. that has not stopped me from exercising and trying to eat right.

well, i’ll start off by saying the i have been paying more careful attention to what and how much i am eating, and although i have not stopped eating ice cream and m&ms, i have really held back and controlled myself. i have also cut back to one soda per day, hard but pretty good. and i have also managed 4 liters of water per day, that’s 4 33.8 oz bottles. lastly i have almost stopped having seconds at all meals.

on the gym front, my partner bailed because hes manager left the company and he has been picking up the pieces and has had no time for any sort of life. sad but reality. i guess i’m glad my boss is not showing signs of bailing on us. in the workout dept, i know that i had to change up the routine, so i now do 20 min on the elliptical and i do 20 min on either the stair or the bike on alternating days. i actually do a little more than 40 minutes in total so that i register 400 cals on the eliptical and 300 on the other machines, for a 700 cal/day burn rate. it seems to be working well.

in light of all this change, wk 5 say me down to 238.0, wk 6 saw me up to 238.6, and this week i was down to 236.2 lbs.

so, sorry for the delay, but i am still working at the fat-drop, and it’s actually going mildly well. 6 1/2 months till make or break day! I may have to pick up the pace, if it is going to take 3 months to lose 10 lbs… eeek!
