Friday Weigh In – 8/13/10
Friday the 13th…
Scale dropped a measly 0.8 lbs this week to 310.4 lbs, which = 7.8 lbs lost since 4/30/10.
Tape remained unchanged from last week, at 53 1/2 inches, still 1 inch less than I was on 4/30/10.
It’s funny sometimes when you stand back and look at your body of work. After almost 4 months, I’m almost 8 lbs down and a mere inch gone on my waist. If you’d asked me in April when I was to begin this public journey with weekly pics, where I would be by mid August, I’d have said I would be in the 280′s (or 270′s) and nearing a 50 inch love tank. Today it really hit me just how far I SHOULD have gone, and COULD have gone, but have not. Yes, I did discover one way NOT to diet, but still, it is sad.
Also sad is my health. I had a nice little argument with my wife today over the phone, and I was so wound up after it, that I took my blood pressure on a kiosk machine at CVS. Let’s just say I think I racked the high score for the day (maybe the week or month)…it was high enough to make me raise my eyebrows and think, “holy shit!”
The plan between now and next Friday is to play nice, and NOT have more than 1 refeed, in the form of a picnic with my family tomorrow night. I think my body needs to evolve a bit more in terms of carb and insulin utilization, and I believe the bulk influx of carbohydrates during a refeed isn’t benefiting me like I’d hoped it would. This simply means I will have more low days in terms of calories and carbs. More will power and discipline, but more results.

Hi Dan.. ever heard of Lyle McDonald? I’ve used his programs to transform my body. Check out my website I linked to it in the top of this post.
Anyway, you might consider something like his Rapid Fat Loss program. Check out his website and especially the forums.
Best regards,
Barry

I actually post on his site under a different name, and I have read all his stuff. I am familiar with his work and have used RFL w/ some success. My problem now remains the same as for the last 5+ years…not being lazy and being more consistent. I recognized your name right away, as I know you have posted a lot in Lyle’s forums.
