I intend to lose a massive amount (65) pounds of fat in 100 days or fewer. And to you idiots that want to lecture me? Go find someone else. You don’t kick ass with small goals. You kick ass with impossible goals. So piss off, and piss on someone else’s flowers.
By optimizing diet, exercise and supplements, I’ll do it. At the end of the campaign, I’ll be at the high end of healthy weight. I happen to agree with the BMI folks that consider healthy weight shockingly lower than we do. I’ll get it done not long after. My overall goal is to be among the people that has lost +100#s, if only for a short time. I don’t know if my weight should be at 160 or 180, but that’s the range, and why not get to the low side?
I’ve failed at this quest before–a few times, actually. I set too long and too low of a goal, and I didn’t commit to sustainable, radical change. I don’t believe that you lose weight by only having one cookie instead of three, or having one slice of pizza instead of four. It’s too easy to have that plan erode into no commitments, it’s too nebulous. I’m planning the next 100 days-starting on 12/26/07.
One of the reasons I failed–and many dieters failed–was because I wasn’t fully prepared to do it right. An example: I know that–being a being of flesh–I will have to eat at regular intervals. Most people do, right? OK, fine. I wouldn’t have healthy food with me–so I’d go to McD’s–or wherever. Easy to make an excuse to go, easy to rationalize (breakfast is only 390 calories). Hard to lose weight–ever–if you put white flour and sludge right into your gullet a couple times a week.
I had some type of epiphany. I realized that I can fix the problem easily: 1.) Always have healthy food with me in meal sized…storable portions. This also prevents me from imposing my diet rules on my friends or family, and I can go out to lunch and have iced tea or whatever. My plan was to prepare food a week in advance, so if I put with me 5-8 different "meals" that followed my food plan without requiring anything, that would be a start.
The other part is to preplan my exercise so it’s varied and interesting. I won’t stick to something boring, and in 100 days, I figure I’ll have 12-14 days off. So that’s 86-88 workouts to plan that I can do; if I plan some swimming days, some days outside, and everything.
