Live and Let Diet

[dallaswareagle]

Now, that is one scary sight right there.  That's some vicious pussy.

Its like everything else, when we first brought the pussy's home they were eager to please, they hunted, they were fun. As soon as they had been there a while they got lazy. Now all they do is lay around, make no effort. I feed them, clean their box and give them a place to sleep and for what?  Nothing, not a damn thing in return.

Here is a good easy diet that a friend gave me.  Now I share it with you chumps.

[Snaggletiger]

So Spring is right around the corner and summer not far behind.  Being that it's been in the 70's far more than the 30's around here, I'm not sure if we've even had a winter.  Anyone starting to try or at least think about trying to get that winter coat/blubber off?  I started this week.  So far, 3 days of eating like a Victoria's Secretions model, killer workouts and downing just short of a gallon of water each day.  Lo and behold, as of this morning I had only gained 2 pounds.   

The overall goal is to LOSE 20 pounds.  I want to get under 220 for the first time in probably 20 plus years.  I know how to do it.  I know what works for me.  But it takes a pretty big transformation in my whole routine, including adding 3-4 morning workouts each week.  When you get older (I am) and you get up, eat breakfast and then go sit at a desk all day, my metabolism still stays in bed til about 2:00 in the afternoon. Anyway, I'm starting it up this week and by gawd, I will see 215.

Anyone else trying to change it up?  Thinking about it?

[Pell City Tiger]

I am, but I am one of those anchored to a desk types - unless I'm roaming across Canada.

Since the first of the year, I've avoided the elevator here at the office and climb the steps up to my perch on the 4th floor. I park on the back 40 of the parking lot and make the 300 yard hike to the building, too.

I have oatmeal for breakfast each morning, sweetened only with raisins. Lunch generally consists of fried rice.

I haven't lost anything, but my buttocks are tiiiiiiight!

Been trying for the last few weeks myself.  I was down 6 pounds last Friday and only up 1 pound as of Monday morning.  I guess I have to diet for the whole week for it to count.

I have bumped up my workouts though, so I am now bench pressing the bar.  Maybe I can add a 5lb to each side soon.

The Irondale lunch gang need to get together and discuss successful weight loss strategies over a BBQ sammich or plate of shrimp fried rice.

My main problem is that when playing golf, the carts don't seem to move unless a six pack of beer is on-board.

You brute. 

I keep bringing up getting older, but I have to. It comes into play more and more with regard to results or lack thereof.  I got with a personal trainer about 3 years ago and had him look at what I was doing with my diet and training, then map out his plan for me. The big changes were common sense things like smaller, more frequent protein based meals, along with significantly increased high quality H2O. But the key, like I said above, was adding the 3-4 additional cardio type workouts in the morning.

I followed his plan to the letter for 8 weeks and went from 15% body fat to 7%.  I was psyched the first 2-3 weeks.  After that, I hated every second of it. But, it's what works for me. If I don't get the morning sessions in, the rest is just spinning my wheels.

Tis what I tell Mrs. Dallas all the time.

All of this may be true. Did not read it all. But one thing that I can say for certain is that you do not look nearly as good as you seem to think.

I would love to get in 3-4 workouts in the morning, but I'd have to get up at 1:15 to do so.  I can only hope to get my body fat % down below 50 by the time swimsuit season gets here, so kids don't try to push me back into the water.

Dear Shamu,

                  Fortunately, nothing is very far from home here in Dothan.  My gym is about a 10 minute drive so it's not a big deal to work that in in the morning.  It's just the getting up an hour earlier that hurts my feelings.  I ordered T25 a while back so I could work out with a gay black man early in the morning if I don't feel like driving to the gym.

Starting slow. Drink at least 48 oz water a day and  only eat small portions at dinner 4 days a week, Walk the dog a mile at least 4 times a week. I would like to see 230 again...

I see 230 every time I step on the scales.  That number just flies right by.

Sounds like a plan.  If only the third in our contingent will show it will be a weight loss partay!

[Snaggletiger]

Low fat bagel this morning with honey.  Took the kids to school then ran 2 miles.  Feeling.....


Wait...this isn't facebook, is it?  Never mind.

[Buzz Killington]

Got up.  Took a shower.  Ate an egg and bacon plate at Jack's for breffuss.  Sitting on my ass now as I type.  I expect the pounds to just start falling off any minute now.

All protein, baby.

I don't bookface.  I registered an account about 5 years ago and the only post on it was from some guy named Randall Bulb or Blug or Bugg or something, saying "You're the worst facebooker evah."  But Snagette does and she has to show me the daily life of a girl in our neighborhood that lives to let people know her every move, every minute of the day.  Let me be blunt.  She is not in shape.  However, each day it's:

Just finished intense cardio.  (Insert first selfie of the day) #fitmom  #30daycleanse  #motivation #superthighburn

Kids to school.  Dressed so cute.  (Second selfie)  #supermom  #taximom  #grocerystore

Just downed Advocare cleanse shake.  Having a lean salad. (Selfie of cheesing face by salad bowl)  #15poundstogo  #superhealthy

It's a daily barrage of selfies and telling how hard she works out and the next big total body cleanse routine and how fit she is with 34 idiotic hashtag sayings after every post.  And the thing is, you know that "plus size" model on SI? Yeah, this girl makes her look like Chrissy Teigen.

Happy Friday guys!! Just finished my high octane tone to stone class and Rita had us burning those Cals today!

I'm sore but stoked! It's crossfit Fri for me today at lunch then work the rest of day but at the 5 o'clock whistle, it's the Weekend Warrior Yoga class with Bill and Buffy!

Then, time for a quick Ceasar and go rest up for the Bunion Research 10k. For a great cause. They research bunions.

Love my Facebook friends, all! Let's get fit!

And to my former friends who put the comment that said I looked "large and in charge" and the ones that called me "cornbread" and "Porkchop",  I don't need your negativity. I unfriend you. I may not meet your idea of fitness but at least I try. So, go jump in a lake!

Thanks to my supporters on my fitness journey. It's been 4 years so far and I've lost an amazing 7 pounds! I can almost button my pants.
