Operation ‘Don’t Be Fat And Gross’ Week 9

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.

Initial Weight: 194 (Started Jan 29th)

Operation ‘Don’t Be Fat and Gross’ Week 3

 

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

Operation ‘Don’t Be Fat And Gross’ Week 2

So my scale sucks. I went to the gym and realized my it was about 8lbs off. Ya, I know I’m not happy about this. Anyways, I adjusted the scale so now it’s correct and that weight you see above is correct. I’m sitting at 192 right now down from 194. I’ve done 6 gym sessions and eaten like a rabbit. I have no idea how I didn’t lose 40 pounds, considering I was starving all week.

On to more important things, I didn’t have one beer this weekend, I stayed away and drank only Ketel One on the rocks. To be honest I don’t know if it makes that much of a difference. From a simple Google search, it says a shot of vodka is about the same as a bud light (105-110 calories). But my reasoning behind drinking vodka over the beer is because it takes me about 10 beers to get drunk instead of 4-6 vodka drinks. If anyone has a better answer please let me know but until them I’ll be drinking the clear liquid.

I’m not technically calorie counting, but I know I’m sitting around 1100 a day without eating any red meat, soda, candy or anything that supposed to be bad for you. I did relapse on Super Bowl Sunday, I couldn’t stop myself from eating a few slices of pizza. When I say few, I mean 5 but it was a big game and I hadn’t eaten shit all week. Lay off me.

Although I’m only down 2 pounds I feel I’m on the right track. Yes this is miserable, I’ve never tried to actively lose weight in my life. I’ll tell you one thing, Lent starts up soon so that’s going to help me a ton. I never cheat during Lent. So, here’s to another miserable, salad feasting, non chocolate week. Tune in next Tuesday and see if I’ve kept it together.

Fixed initial weight: 194

Gym/Diet Is Underway. 175 Here I Come

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

So as I had said yesterday and this morning, the Gym Diet regiment is starting today. It doesn’t take Detective Alex Cross to figure out I’m in shape anymore. I’m very excited to actually look like an attractive human being again. You can see from the pictures above that my body resembles a marsh mellow in texture and color. Now I’m not one to tan but if  I can get this ‘bo’ to look high and tight then maybe I’ll consider it. I’m going to set my target weight at 175 which is exciting considering I haven’t seen the 70s in 2 years. I’m going to cut out the soda, most fried food and all deserts/candy. I’ll be hitting the gym 5 days a week while doing mostly upper body however mixing in some lower body too. My target date is April 2nd, 2013 and I’ll be posting some pics every Monday or Tuesday with my reported weight. This is going to be miserable but no one said looking good was easy. See you out there.

P.s. I know you see that package in the ‘side’ view. Not too bad for a Irish lad.

P.p.s Can you believe I have sex with women? After looking at those pics, I feel bad for them.
