3 Buffets a day for a week…
The trials and tribulations…that’s what it’s all about. You see the diet part is easy, you make the choice to eat better, less, or not at all and you lose weight. And really, the exercise part of it just speeds the process up, it isn’t required. Let’s start with that, the sweaty bit. It doesn’t matter if you bike. run, treadmill or lift…it’s as simple as calories in minus calories out. You’re speeding up the transition from chunk to slim. Lifting burns calories and putting on muscle will make you burn more…the problem is that while you’re dieting you can’t really put muscle on…unless of course you are consuming over 200 grams of protein a day…and you may very likely need a kidney in the future.
Isn’t sweating fun?
Truly its all about what you eat, burning an extra 500 calories at the gym won’t make a difference if you con- sume a single muffin…just one and you’ll have to head back for more of the gym.
As you lose a bit of the chub you burn less calories…yes even fat burns the damn things, so it gets harder to lose as you get slimmer…on diet alone. Then there must be a punishment somewhere along the way.
MY point in all the above is this…any of us can eat right, less, or not at all and lose weight…do it one day a week do it for 21 days or do it all your life…
The problem with the man diet is all the non diet days…Wednesday night poker will never offer a salad…I could not eat at all, and have many times…but we do play some nights for 12 straight hours…I need food!
Parker tied me after the GBG Yurting trip at 246.6, he is back on the shakes and is hoping to get down to 220 I think…wouldn’t that be nice. Beagle has 9 days to go before he heads off to Mexico and wants to lose 10 more pounds.
Me…I booked a last minute to Cuba yesterday…the diet is off for at least 8 days!
Me at the pool, the man blog
So here I am at the pool, my mojito is sweating away somewhere close by…another 3 buffet a day week…
These are the trials to the man diet…these things…it’s the living part of our life that makes us fat, yurting, poker, trips, friends, neighbors…
We aren’t getting fat at work, helping our kids with homework, shovelling the driveway… Off I go to Cuba without a base tan and my wife doesn’t think we should pick up sunscreen?
I love a good tan as much as the next guy…I do not enjoy working through a 3rd degree sunburn to get it…I’m going to sport a 60 day one, then a 30…all the way down to that glistening oil…Bacon anyone?
You think the idea of seeing me in all my glory on a beach is scary? Try being present at this event…this man has never held a gun before…Parker goes big! Warning…loud gun shots and englishman giggles…

He didn’t shoot anything…which is amazing considering the size of the hill he was aiming at!
As far as my other resolutions go…I’m at the guitar every day and my coding always improving…I have a bunch of web changes I have to complete for a client tonight before I fly…………………………………………………………. better not forget that!
For those of you not flying south…it is supposed to be nice next week. stay warm!
The Quote of the Day. no truer words were ever said:
My goal is to hit the gym every day I’m on vacation. Usually I just end up sleeping and drinking beer. Gary Allan
That sums it up!
