Three Pounds A Week . . .

I have no idea what I weigh right now.

Here’s the deal, I am out of shape, fat, and lazy. I had a competition with my Father going last year. First one to 190lbs has to buy the other one dinner at Morton’s Steak House. Great idea, reach a diet goal and the first thing you do is go out and eat a pound and a half of red meat with 2 pounds of starch. All in the name of good healthy living right?

So a year has gone by, we are approaching yet another holiday season. Well my life is one giant holiday when it comes to my diet, so I guess it doesn’t really matter what time of year it is. For lunch today I ate 2 Double-Double’s from In-N-Out. I am not even including the french fries and about 3/4 liter of Dr. Pepper. As I contemplated my state of mind while eating this lunch I realized something, that is, I am going to die and the last thing I want to think while dying is my last meal killed me. I know that is not literally true, but consider that my last meal was probably consumed weekly for years and you do the math.

I have a gym membership that I do not use. Yes, I pay monthly, for the last handful of months I have gone one time. My wife dragged me there that one time.

The goal I have set is 3lbs a week for at least 10 weeks. That means I will lose 30lbs by Feb. 13th, 2007. Delightfully, the day before Valentines (my wife will be happy!). From there, I think I will need to lose another 5-10lbs to hit 190, as I really think I am pushing 230lbs right now, possibly more.

I stand at 6′1″ tall.

So, we’ll see. I will probably weigh in tonight after my shower and post stats here, and then again in the morning and continue to post stats.

Watch out world!
