My week in weight loss
See, you all are like, the watchers. I know that no one cares that much about a fat blogger trying to get healthy, but by posting this stuff in public, someone out there will call me on my shit if I don’t progress. Therefore, I burden you with these posts.
Hey, at least I post hot chicks and goofy shit all the time. There has to be some downside to coming here. I think that’s a law of physics or something.
ANY-ways…
on Monday, I had to skip my usual supervised PT appointment to take Donna to an important doctor's appointment. On the way home, regardless of the fact that I had very lean pork in the fridge ready for a low-fat-but-hearty meal, I decided that since her appointment sucked hog balls, she should be rewarded with one of the awesomest steaks in the known worlds. I make that awesomest steak, by the way, because I rule. So I stopped at the only decent meat market within a cosmic light year and bought two two-inch-thick ribeyes. They have to be that thick so as to develop the right char on the outside while still keeping the inside tender.Umm, here's the thing. I sort of forgot that I was watching what I eat and I ate my entire steak, and around five ounces of Donna's as well. I ate about 30 ounces of steak that night. I was a very, very bad person. I ate approximately two days worth of calories in one meal. So begins the week of atonement.
Tuesday I went to the pool to make up for missing Monday. I swam a full quarter mile and did a half-hour of medium-speed exercise. I also dropped my total calorie intake for any given day to 1800. Wednesday I did the usual land and water PT. I also swam another quarter mile. Later that night I thought that my arms and legs were going to fall right the fuck off. I weighed myself and I had gained back three frigging pounds. I tried to eat lighter all week. Yesterday I did a "Friday" pool workout minus the laps, as I was still sore-bordering-on-hurt. I also tried a new cereal yesterday. Fiber One. If you watched SNL during the Phil Hartman years, you remember this commercial for Colon Blow and Super Colon Blow:
Yeah, they invented that. It's called Fiber One. I have lost four-and-a-half full pounds in just over 29 hours. This is not a liquidity issue. This is exactly the promise of a fiber cereal - regularity, only...a lot of it. A painful amount of regularity. As well as the abdominal distension promised in the commercial. :)
I am going right back to Raisin Bran. I learned my lesson with the curry, and now I have learned it with the fiber cereal.
Anyway, I'm down from pre-steak weight and overall, and I'm used to the lower calorie intake, so I may drop it another notch next week. What I am not doing is eating any more of that Fiber One bullshit. That's some fucked-up nonsense that does inhumane things to one's ass region.

are you doing the diet part of this on your own? i would highly recommend you see a nutritionist if you’re not already…

have you considered a low-carb diet? it’s not for everyone, but my girlfriend has been doing it for almost a year and has been very successful. and the best part… you can eat as much rib-eye as you want!
