Wow, it’s been this long since a weigh-in. I just haven’t been keeping up with the weekly weigh-ins. I have been weighing myself in the previous 9 weeks, at one point being as low as 213.

Now that I got my gym membership, I’ve been trying to eat a lot more so I can gain some muscle, so I’m actually quite pleased with that. I have been going to about 3 times a week for the last two weeks, this week being my third.

Everyone stay healthy.

My first step toward my overdue goal

I finally bit the bullet and did it. I finally got a gym membership, which is going to force me to get in shape. Not some nancy pansy gym membership either. No no, a year membership. I’m in it for the long haul. I’m committed. I’m determined.

It was the one thing that was holding me back from getting into shape. I don’t really need to run much more or lose much more weight. This was the bigun’ and now it’s done. Next up is a scale to report my progress. I want to come up with some other way to track my progress, because in all likeihood I’ll be gaining weight. Maybe a measurement or maybe just a before and after picture would be suffish.

I don’t really want to get huge, but I just want to be able to scare people if I have to. I have short man’s complex even though I’m 6′5″. I don’t really belive that, but it is fun to be able to beat someone up if you so desire, and I desire it often. Again, another lie, but one of these days it may be true, and I’ll have the resources to be prepared when my epic battle for survival takes place.

Stickel in da house

So Michael Q. Stickel finally made it, and the first impressions are in - he’s definitely gay. Wait, I mean not gay. Damn, first impressions are tricky.

It was cool to meet the man, the myth, and the legend in person. Now it’s time to let the geekery and dieting begin. Welcome to the States, Stickel.

Weigh Ins for the last couple weeks

Okay, so I have been very lax with my weigh-ins the last couples of weeks. I don’t have a great excuse, but I do have a few reasons I withheld my weigh-ins. First off, the scale I originally weighed in on is now completely out of whack.

When I weighed in the last time on a normal scale that seems pretty reliable, I was at 213. So, that is what I’m going to stick with for now. I plan on getting a scale asap and try to have a fresh start.

My cirumstances haven’t been great for dieting, going to the gym, or anything else that requires a lot of effort. I know I’ve probably said this 100 times already, and I’m sure everyone is sick of hearing it, but it’s the truth. That doesn’t mean I don’t think it will turn around pretty soon.

Total Weight Loss: 11 pounds in 10 weeks

So I’ve pretty much stayed pat. I’m pretty pleased with that. I have been eating pretty much what I want without gaining any unnecessary weight.

No matter what I seem to do I always seem to run into roadblocks that halt any progress that could be made. The gym still hasn’t happened, but when it does, I promise you that you will see some results. I’ve done it before, so I have no doubts I can accomplish gaining some muslce and getting more toned.

Regardless, I’ll post a results picture from Week 1 to Week 10. Check back for that if you don’t cherish your eyes. If you do, then take this as a warning not to come back to view that.

Lady in the Water is underrated

I know Colin is planning on writing a full review of the movie on TUG.n, but I felt that I just had to get this off my chest.

19% on rottentomatoes.com. Come on now. I can see critics not thinking this movie was great, however, I don’t see how they could say you shouldn’t see it.

Personally, I extremely enjoyed this movie, which was perhaps enhanced because of all the negativity surronding it. As a matter of fact, I had a smile on my face when it was over, and I plan on seeing it again.

Week 7 weigh-in - Kickin’ *** and takin’ names

Original Weight: 229
Week 1 Of Diet: 227
Week 2 Of Diet: 225
Week 3 Of Diet: 223
Week 4 Of Diet: 221
Week 5 Of Diet: 223
Week 6 Of Diet: 223
Week 7 Of Diet: 218
Total Weight Loss: 11 pounds in 7 weeks

I weighed in last night, and this isn’t an excuse, but this was with an additional pair of soaking wet pants with a wallet, medicine, cell phone, and who knows what else in them. With that said, with all those in there I still lost 5 pounds over the last week. I won’t have another chance to weigh-in again before next Tuesday so I am sticking with the 218 and see how it goes next week.

I had an extremely good week exercise wise this week. I did loads of situps and played a good amount of basketball in some pretty high heats. Needless to say as a fat guy I worked up quite a sweat and I’d say that helped quite a bit. I’ll most likely have a pretty active weekend, but I also think I’m going to eat a lot, so we’ll see how it goes for next week.

Keep up the good work everybody.

Week 5/6 Weigh-in

Original Weight: 229
Week 1 Of Diet: 227
Week 2 Of Diet: 225
Week 3 Of Diet: 223
Week 4 Of Diet: 221
Week 5 Of Diet: 223
Week 6 Of Diet: 223

Total Weight Loss: 6 pounds in 6 weeks

The delay in posting my weigh-ins has not been because of shame. I simply have not had the time or energy to post them. However, I have plateued a bit, but eventually I wanted to gain some weight. For the last two weeks my weight has been exactly the same, which is up two pounds.  I haven’t been overeating and I have been exercising and it seems I am slimming down, so I’m chalking up the weight gain to muscle gain.

Week 4 weigh in

Original Weight: 229
Week 1 Of Diet: 227
Week 2 Of Diet: 225
Week 3 Of Diet: 223
Week 4 Of Diet: 221

Total Weight Loss: 8 pounds in 4 weeks

Right where I want to be, however I haven’t gained any muscle whatsoever. I’m going to have to lose the weight but I wanted to start lifting sooner than this. My circumstances just haven’t permitted me to do so. Hopefully next week I’ll be able to start a regiment again.

Keep up the diet all.

Week 3 weigh in

Original Weight: 229
Week 1 Of Diet: 227
Week 2 Of Diet: 225
Week 3 Of Diet: 223

Total Weight Loss: 6 pounds in 3 weeks

This is right where I wanted to be at this point. I am losing weight at a healthy rate and not starving myself.

I am a little surprised that I lost two pounds this week since I didn’t really count my calories too much (I didn’t amazingly overeat, though) and I probably didn’t even get an ounce of exercise in.

This week I’m expecting some good things since I should be able to start exercising again barring any unforeseen setbacks.

For all those on the diet, keep up the good work.
