Alright my friends I’m going to be vanishing from here on out till next Friday. That’s right, 11 days of paradise for this guy and zero worries in the world. I’ll be legs up, multiple drinks in hand and the sun glistening in on my newly framed body. Enjoy yourself people, don’t work too hard and I’ll see you when I see you.
It’s all over. 10 weeks or so of nothing but healthy food, barely no beer and working out continuously like a damn dog. I missed my adjusted goal by about 2 lbs but I couldn’t be happier. Cutting nearly 17lbs off my body while hopefully also adding some muscle, you must look at the positives. Sure my body is GQ-eque but at least people wont puke when I take my shirt off anymore. I guess it’s a win for everyone. So since I’m going on vacation I’ll probably just gain it back in a week. I can’t wait.
Initial Weight: 194 (Started Jan 29th)
Target Weight: 180 (Ends April 2nd)
New Target Weight: 175 (Ends tomorrow so maybe I can cut 2 lbs but I don’t really care)
After 9 total weeks I’ve finally begun to slow down. I went on a mini vacation with the boys 2 weekends ago and that definitely wasn’t for the good of my body. I drank roughly 80 beers in 3 days, I ate like a damn cow and I didn’t even look at a weight. Although I did hit the sauna about 10 times considering it was in my hotel room. To lose another 3 lbs this week is going to be extremely hard to hit that 175. I’ve been increasing weight on all my exercises and have also increased my push ups basically ten fold. My cadio is down basically because I refuse to do that. I did run 2 miles the other day and I was completely miserable. After I run, I basically just want to go home so that causes a problem.
I’m going strong on the food front. I haven’t really cheated at all minus that one weekend however even then I didn’t eat any sweets, fried food or soda. All in all my body has changed, not perfect but it has made a transformation. In hein sight I probably could of used a workout plan and a set diet but I’m too stubborn for that shit. I’d rather just go to the gym, do the work outs I feel like doing and go home. Onto another week of hell and only 5 days till Lent is over.

Can I get a golf clap please actually for all my hard work, borderline anorexia and near depression for missing buffalo fingers I deserve a standing-O. That’s right everyone stand up please and show some respect. 15 pounds in 6 total weeks doesn’t sound too great but don’t forget I (hopefully) gained some muscle along the way and barely did any cadio. That’s right no cadio. I just ripped it day in and day out to get my self to fighting weight.
Now I intially had a target weight of 175 when I thought I weighed 188 but I changed that because I actually weighed in at 194. This caused me to change my target to 180 because I didn’t think 19 pounds was that realistic. But since I have over achieved I’m going to go for that extra 4 pounds. My new tar
Initial Weight: 194 (Started Jan 29th)

Original Target Weight: 175
Finally some updated pictures to show the progress I’ve made. Not to bad for a white boy, but also not that good either. Arms need some work, chest needs some work and abs need more work. 27 days and counting.
After week 5 of Operation ‘Don’t Be Fat And Gross’ has concluded I’ve finally felt some accomplishment. I got my first, ‘Hey JM did you lose some weight ‘ which felt great. Until that point I wasn’t sure if my body was changing at all. Through these past 5 weeks, I’ve eaten nothing but good healthy food and if I’m the only one to see it then why am I doing it. I don’t care if I’m fat and gross, I care if other people think I’m fat and gross. Although I’ve definitely made some progress, I know everything will change when I get a tan. My body is way to translucent to see any definition but when I get my bronze on, oh shit, I could be on the cover of a Men’s Health Magazine. I still have 27 days until my goal and I know I can hit it but I’ll tell you a little secret, I’m also leaving myself an outside chance to hit my original goal or 175. I’ve been trying to lift a lot to gain muscle so if I miss that the 175 I wont be that upset because I’ll hope that the weight I did put on was pure muscle and not left over fat. Anyways, back to another week of broccoli, chicken, baked potatoes and salads. I’ll see you on the other side.

Not a big deal or anything but I just crushed the Wonderlic Test. For you that don’t know the Wonderlic is an evaluator to test a persons capability to learn and problem solve in a timed environment. The standard test is 50 questions and to be completed in 12 minute as the picture states above. I obviously didn’t take the actual Wonderlic but ESPN and a few other sites offered up a small sample of the test so I took 15 questions and I allotted myself 3 min and 10 seconds. Now they say if you score a 10 you’re literate which is a plus for some of you. So let’s say that’s the absolute bare minimum you should be scoring on this thing. Now if you’re a average person you are going to scoring around the 20 range. And if you’re rather intelligent, you’re scoring high 20s to the 30 range.
I did a quick wiki search and they state these score are where you match up in the common world:
- Systems Analyst – 32
- Chemist – 31
- Electrical Engineer – 30
- Engineer – 29
- Programmer – 29
- Accountant – 28
- Executive – 28
- Reporter – 28
- Teacher – 28
- Copywriter – 27
- Investment Analyst – 27
- Librarian – 27
- Electronics technician – 26
- Salesperson – 25
- Secretary – 24
- Dispatcher – 23
- Drafter – 23
- Electrician – 23
- Nurse – 23
- Bank teller – 22
- Cashier – 21
- Firefighter – 21
- General Clerical worker – 21
- Machinist – 21
- Receptionist – 21
- Train Conductor – 21
- Skilled Craftsman – 18
- Security guard – 17
- Welder – 17
- Warehouseman – 15
In the 3 minutes and 10 seconds which absolutely flies by when you’re doing this thing, I hit 9 of 15 questions. This test isn’t about answering all the questions but more about answering the right ones. If you don’t know the question, skip it and give yourself a chance at the next one. If you translate my 9 of 15 that means I would of scored a 30 on the actual Wonderlic. Now does that mean I should of been an Engineer? Maybe, my dad would like to think so. But it more says that I’m slightly smarter than the rest of the morons in this world. However this whole blog isn’t about me being a genius. It’s part of it but not completely. It’s about the dumb ass’s that scored under 10. If I was sleeping, hung over, and puking I could answer 10 questions in 12 minutes on this test. I mean come on. Look at these people that scored all time lows on the Wonderlic.
- Morris Claiborne – 4
- Frank Gore – 6 (3rd-round pick in the 2005 NFL Draft)
- Travis Henry – 7 (2nd-round pick in the 2001 NFL Draft)
Those are some embarrassing scores. If you can’t answer: If I need to buy 10 feet of rope and it cost 2 dollars per foot. How much will it cost me? Than you should just quit life completely. You have no place in society for you. You have 12 minutes and you get 4 right. I can’t even fathom that. You wonder why American is being taken over by the Asians, their Wonderlic is probably 200 questions and you must finish in 6 minutes with a score of 90% or be sentenced to death by ninja star.

Just a look inside where I’m becoming Mark Wahlberg circa 1994, I’m talking the Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch Mark Wahlberg not Pain and Gain. Just doing bench reps while the rain pours down. I use a small personal gym and it’s the best thing going. Barely anyone around, and if there is it’s usually one or two chicks who are disgusted at my body. I’ve stayed very consistent on going 5 days or so a week, the only issue I’m having is I hate to run. I tried to do a quick 2 mile jog to get my body ready to lift but it’s the most miserable 13-14 minutes of my life. It’s well documented that I can’t run on a treadmill, adding to that, I hate running period. So, for those 13 minutes I want to kill someone or myself, whichever is easier. Other than that, I blast through my workout doing power sets, with 5-10 seconds breaks while mixing in Abs. I’ll be taking an updated picture of my body soon, although I don’t feel like much as changed. Maybe tomorrow if not definitely next week. I’m starting to like going to the gym though which is a step in the right direction. If I miss a day I always feel like shit, not to mention I am seeing some results in the weight loss area which is the obvious goal.
Ps. Getting rid of that little fat in the stomach area is close to impossible.
Initial Weight: 194lbs
Current Weight: 187lbs
Target Weight:180lbs
If there’s one thing I am absolutely craving right now, it’s mac and cheese. And not just some boring craft shit, I want either Velveeta or a buffalo mac and cheese from ‘Max and Dillon’s’. Here’s the problem though, neither is apart of my diet, so you know what I get to do? Piss and moan until I fill myself up with Apples, bananas and other granola type shit.
Moving on… easy day for me. I don’t have too much going on beside the B’s tonight. Me and pa-dukes will be sitting center ice drinking multiple beers enjoying the game. I haven’t cheated for shit on this diet so tonight’s my treat. I wont be eating fried food or anything, but I may get a ice cream considering today is the last time until Lent ends. Other than that, this day should be quiet and peaceful.
This is the BS I’m eating nowadays. It’s miserable, plain and simple. A salad that barely has any dressing on it which consist of 94% lettuce. And how bout those nuts, I actually used to love nuts but those are unsalted. It’s like a bad dream. I’m eating unsalted nuts which I’m sure is a oxymoron and a salad that taste like grass. I’m legitimately genuine when I say, nothing healthy taste good. I bet ill get an email saying those bell pepper are terrible for you. My favorite part of the salad probably carries 600 calories per bite. It’s a cant win situation.
Absolutely crazy weekend. You have the snow storm, college basketball was OOC and the Celtics went to 3 OTs. I’m feeling great on this Monday morning. I have a big week ahead which include, Bruins tomorrow, Celtics Wednesday and Valentines Day/Flag Football Thursday. On the agenda today, I’ll continue eating rabbit food as I have been for the past 2 weeks. Speaking of food, Wednesday is Ash Wednesday so per tradition, I will be giving up Candy and Ice Cream; however, last year I also gave up fried food and soda. I’m not sure if I’ll do that again, I’ve been good not eating that shit regardless. So peeps, it’s Monday, the beginning of another week, may the strong survive.
