Day 2.18 The road is long…
Fatty weighed in this morning at 233 pounds, not bad considering I did a bit of potato salad and a couple of cupcakes at a BBQ this weekend.
Sadly I did see 228 on the scale this weekend at one point, my first foray into the 220’s this diet round and a
glimmer of hope of what is to come.
When did I see this 228 pound reward on the grey beast? Well after a 16 km run of course.
How was running 16 km as a fat man? Surprisingly not too bad! The last couple miles are tough, pushing past your long run distance from the week before.
I mean last week I only had to manage 13 km so the extra 3 is a tough pill to swallow, this coming week I’ll only have to squeeze out an extra 1.6 km up to 17.6 km next Saturday.
Today there are a few sore spots but in a day or 2 they will pass. Also, there won’t be any more 5 K short runs, those short runs are now 7’s…in 2 more weeks the weekend long runs are always over half marathon dis- tances…the joy.
I’ll need a new pair of runners shortly, they don’t make shoes for chunky men. Once you get over 200 pounds you can forget about support. You’ll blow through the sole of a shoe in no time…
So somehow I’ve packed on 5 pounds of water and food since yesterday at noon…we shall see what today has to offer.

We are only a couple weeks away from Parker hitting the shakes again…and no update on Beagle’s weight lifting…I’m sure it’s going well for him
It isn’t easy for these guys to get started…and catching up with chunk right now…next to impossible.
I may not have lost a pound in weeks now but I’ve been in the low 230’s for a month, at some point I’ve got to hit the 220’s solid.
Beagle will have to hit the weights hard to make up for 10 pops a day and Parker will punish himself on a meal a day and 2 shakes…no beer…no exercise.
It may seem easy to starve yourself to lose while not burning it out sweating…but I find the starvation harder to deal with…I rather work hard and have a snack once in a while.
Hell I’ve stayed at this weight through egg rolls, nachos, beers…whatever… Good luck Fatties!

Seems simply enough.
