2 years ago I lost in the neighborhood of 70 pounds. Through dieting, exercise and determination I was able to shed the weight that I’ve carried around most of my life.
In that period I took up running. As I worked up to 20-25 miles a week I was able to maintain my weight and eat pretty much whatever I wanted.
However, in December I suffered a running-related injury and went to the side-lines. I have yet to regain either my consistency or will when it comes to pounding the pavement or treadmill.
As a result, I’ve added too much weight back. Close to half of it. It’s time to get serious again.
Tonight, Tracy and I do a mystery shop for an upscale steak-house here in the Waco area.
Then, tomorrow it’s back to phase 1 of the South Beach Diet. For the next two weeks I will be on the strictest part of the diet before moving into the more moderate part for however long it takes.
Two years ago, I lost all the weight without cheating. Once. I was an altar boy. Here’s hoping I can do it again.
Feel free to yell, encourage, question, cuss at me, whatever to keep me on the wagon. I’m hoping this will create in me a desire for regular running again.
Without further ado, I bid a fond farewell to these foods for the foreseeable future:
- Mazzio’s pizza buffet, and that incredible chocolate-chip pizza
- Burger King’s Extreme Spicy Tendercrisp Sandwich
- Mega M&M’s and all forms of chocolate
- Amy’s Spinach Pizza (for two weeks)
- Hamburgers
- French Fries
- Dairy Queen’s Chocolate X-treme Blizzard
- Dorito’s Spicier Nacho Chips (with the requisite bean dip)
- Popeye’s Firecracker Shrimp
- Bush’s Meal Deal
- All restaurant mystery shopping
Anyone wanna join us?
