Carefree Communications

On January 1st I blogged about the fact that I was cutting back on eating and would be loosing 52 pounds in 5 months.  That will need to be just over 10 pounds a month to work out to hitting 210 as my target weight from my starting weight of 262.  I also mentioned that Neil Franklin had bet me 200 dollars that I would fail.  Today is my first update and despite Neil attempting to sabatoge me at every opportunity I have done quite well.  The results,

• Starting Weight - 262
• Feburary 1st Weight - 244
• Total weight loss in Month one - 18 Pounds

So what have I been doing different?  Not much so far just the following…

• Light vs. heavy beer
• Salads and soups for most lunches (Campbles Healthy Choice is great)
• No big portions of bread, potatoes, rice or other starches
• No candy, sugar, etc
• I have been drinking fruit smoothies for breakfast about 3-5 days a week
• Dinner has been what ever I want other then the exceptions mentioned above

So thus far I am ahead of the game yet the first month is always easiest, which is why I did not start exercising yet.  That starts today from Feb 1 -Feb 14 I will do 10 minutes once a day on my Elliptical Trainer then from Feb 15 - Feb 28 I will do 10 minutes twice a day and I am adding some basic supliments.  I will report in on March 1 with results and may comment on Neil’s treachery during the month of February.

All I know so far is pants I had custom fit for a meeting I had in November with Trump University will now fall completely off if I don’t have a belt on.  I must say that feels pretty good.

You see that picture on the right, that picture is me. In fact that is an older picture from earlier this year before I went up to my current 262 pounds I am about 255 in that picture.  Unfortunately I carry weight really well and that has led be to be to comfortable and get way to fat!

So with January 1, 2008 I am cutting back and loosing some weight.  Neil Franklin has been foolish enough to place a bet with me on this.  If on May 31st 2008 I weigh 210 or less he will be paying me 200 dollars and if I weight 211 or more I am on the hook to pay him.

I will post my new weight on the first of each month and my monthly and total weight loss.  I will post an updated picture on March 1st and then one at the end.  Neil is scewed, his money is mine.  Yet win or loose by shedding close  to or more then 52 pound this year, I will be the real winner.  Most people think weight loss is hard all I will be doing is eating less in January, let’s see how that works out.

OK it was a tough day at the office the day we filmed this.  Neil Franklin, my partner and good friend grabbed my cheap video camera and pushed me into one of my alter egos and this video was the result.
