Is Liquor Quicker?

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 anyway…so I had breakfast late, 3 eggs scrambled on protein pita. The protein pita packs 10 grams of protein with just 100 calories and just 6 net carbs…add 18 grams of protein from the eggs and you just ate a shake. Delish!

I don’t mind fasting and it is supposed to be beneficial to men…but not women so my female listeners shouldn’t bother with that. Ev, my darling wife, has attempted fasting diets in the past for a few days until she read a study which indicated that women should not partake…

Anyway…I fast again this morning…let’s refer to it from this point forward as the temporary starvation diet…right now I’m starving myself. The joys! It’s not as bad as it seems, and many may site studies saying that if you eat breakfast you can be thinner than those that skip it…in my opinion that depends on what is consumed at breakfast and after. McDees 3 times a day is not the answer.

Dinner….um…well it started off with a juice.    We over here at the fat man’s house decided we might try to juice for dinner this week.

So…at 5 pm I had a delicious juice containing broc, cauliflower, red pepper, carrots, beets, kale and spinach. It’s super good stuff really.

Sounds good doesn’t it? Sounds like I had a pretty good diet day?

Well at 6 my neighbor that owns Treats came by with a bag of muffins…I went back to his house for a wee scotch…just a wee one…and returned home at 7 for….drum roll…a muffin!

What…..

No really…

Okay fine, I had 2 muffins….just the tops…fine fine…and a bag of beef jerky… Geez….

Does that sound bad to you? Well I did choose the bran muffin and the low sodium beef jerky…I was trying to do the best with the tools I had available.

No let’s talk about results for a moment. Today’s weigh in?

242 Even. Not bad. Sadly I think this was my starting weight for the man diet this time last year…BUT…I was under 240 and had been pretty much all year until I broke my wrist in early November. Self loathing and cheesies took over at that point…

Johnny walker diet?

Today I shall go to the gym! I have 95 % use of my arms with only mild agony. I no longer have to stoop over to urinate…Yep, it’s been that much fun! Standing with my arms at my side is almost possible..it hurts but I’m capable of doing it. I no long have to walk around wearing a jacket to have pockets I can put my hands into thus not making me look like a Pregnant T-Rex. How do you explain that to people…do you wear a sign?

HI, I’m normal, I walk like a T-Rex because I’m old and went too hard at the gym!

I have to ask old ladies at the grocery story to get me items off the shelf…from the middle row…My arms are so useless if I tried to grab something from the bottom shelf I’d bang my head…and I am NOT kidding.

BUT…I will go to the gym today…yes I just grimaced I’m not talking about this guy:

grimace

grimace before McDonalds

That pretty much sums it up right there…

Today will be more of the same I hope…on the weight loss side anyway…Sit here and do a bit of coding…dream about being thinner (positive thinking)…and prepare myself for the gym. I sort of promised myself I’d do 3 things this year. One of which is under way, losing weight, the other 2 I haven’t really started yet…sadly they are bring my coding skills up to where I want them to be…so studying, and getting back at the guitar…so playing. I’ve been doing some

web development from home for a couple years now and when Charlotte goes to school in the fall I do need to get a bit busier…at home or in an office…the agony!

So much to do…I still need to swap out the transmission in the AC and hopefully repaint the thing! Warmer days ahead.

I still have 357 days right…

Life isn’t about waiting for the right time to come. It’s all about doing all the right things in the time that is given to you.
