Hi, I'm very glad to see you. If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. I also podcast at New Market Survival Guide and I ALWAYS appreciate comments. Thanks for visiting--this message will go away after the third or forth time you're here.

My weight has reached some sort of terminal velocity.  This is the first year since 2001 that I haven’t put on at least 12 pounds.   At least.  I finished the year down a few from where I started, but the holiday eating fest was something that I did do.  So it’s time to lose my standard issue Columbus obesity.

By April 10, 2007, I’m committed to losing 65 pounds.

Right now, I weigh as much as some pretty scary NFL players.

(1) Diet:  Like I said before, I’m not going to eat "marginally" differently.  I’m preparing my food on the weekends, and I’m going to do what it takes to actually do it.   Sunday-Friday (Saturdays of), i’m going to stick to a slow carb, 1300-1500 calorie diet. 

No white flour, or any rice, potatoes.   No sugar

Massive doses of H20.

(2) Exercise:  Over the next 100 days: weights 3 days, cardio every day, and endurance one day.  Endurance won’t be much right now because being 80# overweight (and coming to terms with admitting it) limits some options.  I’m also doing speed work on the track.  Fat as I am, I can still move for a shocking amount of time.

The main workout plan.

MWF-  Weights (45-50 minutes) + 30 minutes worth of intense cardio.

TRS:  Cardio:  35 minutes intense/35 minutes fat burning.

Saturday:  Distance. (right now, probably 60 minutes–for a total of 95).

(3)  Supplements: 

This is an area I’m unaware of and probably mistrustful of.  I think that gains can be made with proper supplementing, intellectually it makes sense, but the channel is so full of noise.  I think I need to seek out some credible fitness blogs  and imitate that behavior.  I miss the old school Ma Haung ripped fuel.  That’s how I went from 230-175 in 2000.
