First let me start by saying I found this wonderful image heading up a southern food eatery. It’s to the point. So, I will skip telling you my weigh in today…it’s just not in line with a diet blog. Did I have a bad day yester- day? No…I juiced, I had a sensible lunch…and I […]

Nothing will ruin a great day of dieting like crackers and peanut butter at 10 pm. Chunk worked out big time yesterday, legs and shoulders, squatting 300 pounds. Talking the stairs today isn’t a lot of fun but working hard on big muscle groups is usually key in dropping chub. A half decent crowd at […]

I can’t refer to the past weekend as dieting…diet did not happen. I didn’t gain weight though, 242.6 this beautiful Monday morning. Let’s see…I ate pizza, drank beer, a few M &M almonds…chips…The list is long and it isn’t pretty. But my weight has been 242ish all weekend regardless of intake. Today I start fresh […]

Did I drink more than a dozen beer on Wednesday night and lose weight? Was that a dream? The hangover yesterday certainly wasn’t. Terrible thing about hangovers, they make me want to eat, nothing but the best. 3 litres of gatorade, a litre of chocolate milk, a bowl of chili, 2 grilled cheese sandwiches, chocolate […]

Okay. Yesterday I did not eat breakfast, for Fanch (the new brunch) I had a sausage on a protein pita. For dinner I had mens health chili. then I went to poker. We started early, 5 pm, the earliest start we’ve ever attempted. Beagle asked for a snow day, which in poker talk means he […]

Did I wake up this morning with the ability to straighten my arms? Yes sir! You know, I may be getting a bit old…sadly that is the only reason it could possibly take a week to get over a workout. What misery! I went to the gym yesterday…chest and triceps…so far no pain. Chest workouts […]

The man diet continues…I was a reasonably good boy yesterday, only taking a couple HUGE missteps on the bath to thin. I tried a bit of a fast yesterday. In the past I’ve done some reading on fasting diets which involve not eating for a 16 our period, half of which you are potentially sleeping […]

It’s Saturday night…not particularly late. No point with a weigh in at this time, and likely no point in the morning either…I’ve cheated myself! The day started off right, scrambled eggs for breakfast, a few lean meatballs for lunch. Had a sauna and a dip in the hot tub. No gym. My arms are so […]

Oh joyous Friday. Met up with a buddy for a few beers at the Black Dog in Manotick. Came home to eat a bit of the dinner…my wife had a play date with a few of her friends during which they did a bit of a cook off. Sadly most of the dishes she returned […]
