Unfortunately, the music video above has an element of truth in it for me. I get I’m not obscenely obese but I am beginning to realize that I’m not the teenager I once was who could eat a whole pizza, a 2-liter of Mt. Dew and not be phased by it.
I work from home most of the time. I am among the growing (pun intended) number of fat-bloggers. Between working with the church as Associate Pastor and blogging/being a channel editor with b5media. It’s starting to take it’s toll on my pants size. So like Howie over at www.thehman.com, who is another local blogger, I’ve decided to do something about it.
I used to really enjoy biking when I was younger, but college and work has prevented me over the last few years from doing this. Okay, that’s a cop-out. It’s my fault. I am coming to realize that in order to get out of this phase of my life, it’s going to take some work and probably not very pleasant work to deal with my current situation. So for now enjoy the Weird Al video above. I am hoping I’ll find something else that will fit the mood when I lose this extra 100lbs that’s hanging on me. Maybe I’ll lip sync something and dance around in a something really tight…. on second thought. No.
Dancing around in something tight. I might pay to see that. Then again I might pay not to see that. LOL! If there is anything I can do to help I’m here. You up to a challenge? I have 50 I would like to get off before the first of the year. Maybe something like loser gets the winner a $20 Caribou card. I’m even willing to help you beat me.
LOL, pay not to see it
I am at 276.2 lbs right now. I’ve never lost a significant amount of weight before so your help would be greatly appreciated.
I just started an all veggie and fruit diet yesterday (and nothing else is in the house). I am a carnivore with chicken and beef so that is a major step for me. Today we did a bike ride. When I was in high school, I’d bike 26 miles a day. That’s changed…. a lot. I had trouble with 4 today and am recuperating right now…lol. So yeah, I’m up to the challenge.
$20 sounds like a fair deal for losing that amount of weight. I know me feeling better would be worth it.
Just make sure you get some protein with your diet — beans, beans the magical fruit!
LOL, yep. Good thing I like green beans. Do refried beans fit the bill for weight loss? hmmm…. Might have to do without my Mexican food.
Some refried beans have more fat than others, but you can still have them. Green beans won’t give you the protein that legumes like pinto, kidney, black and other beans will. It’s very important you have sufficient protein, fella.
