I lasted one hand at poker last night…I really did not want to go and shouldn’t have but I had already signed up to pay for the egg rolls. Maybe if I had worn shorts I would have lasted longer… On the bright side I’m back in the 230’s at 239.8 today…it may not be […]

It may never end…ever. at 241 today, it means nothing. Poker tonight, likely eat 10 egg rolls. Punish myself. The plight of man, this man anyway, is to be fat… I’ve been considering running again, the gym, amputation… There has to be some easy way to lose weight… slip sliding away It simply isn’t easy…I […]

Easter long weekend over…and the sugar detox with it. Can I be blamed? It’s above 15 degrees all weekend, sunny, the neighbors are out… I may have had a few beers… And the weight? 243! Right back to where I started! Well the ’diet’ begins again today. The last diet phase really started to go […]

Wow…dumb…dumb dumb dumb… It’s a miracle I got out of poker with money in my pocket last night, but miracles do happen, up $90. No carbs makes me forgetful, stuuuupid, slow, ….lazy. Wait….I’m all of those things with carbohydrates…. Left for poker without my phone…couldn’t focus most of the night…although I did pull a 23 […]

I managed to lose 1 pound yesterday. Day One of the sugar detox: 242 pounds -1 I had expected better but maybe I won’t see a 2 or 3 pound loss until my body hits ketosis…the state where my body starts burning fat for carbohydrates… I ate plenty yesterday, almost all meat. Bacon and 3 […]

Who’s been procrastinating on losing weight for 4 months? Me? Whaaaat? Okay okay…today I start a sugar detox. A fancy name for eating healthy really. No bon bons, no booze, no bread. I can eat meat and veg…imagine that…hardly what you’d think of as a diet, more like eating right. No cookies. But bacon is […]

I did not make it to 235 this week. I gained weight, I’m at 243. Birthday cake for my baby Charlotte, chicken wings and chips and poker, hot dogs, junk food. beer…. All these things are life at the man blog…but I really do need to punish myself. My birthday is April 12, I’ll be […]

Yesterday was a good day for dieting… The beer diet! A buddy of mine stopped by with his cobra, a risky spring drive for sure. AC Cobra I hope to get mine rolling today, my driveshaft is ready for pick up. A quick install, give the engine a few spins to get the fluids rolling, […]

Looks like I was on a man blog vacation last week. It’s just that I spent most of my time outside doing my best to soak up what little sun there was. Strangely I really didn’t diet at all last week, I ate piles including a trip out to Agave on Friday and I think […]

It’s been a big week… I’ve grown…mentally and physically…mostly physically! Up 2 pounds…many egg rolls on Wednesday night at poker. Took home $300 though! There may have been a skirmish at poker…a Tito’s vodka type event. You Can Dance… We’ve seen this before…usually in movies… Once in a while one of the adult silver backs […]
