The diet begins!


  I thought I would be getting to this sooner, however life has been hectic and I could come up with a slew of excuses, however good they may be, I will personally kick my own butt for not getting my rear in gear on this, but here we go!
  So in December I weighed a whopping 250 pounds, it was totally disgusting to me!  I had gone with my mom to hang out in Logan and needed some new pants for work, to my disgust the ones that fit were a size 38!  I wanted to cry and felt like I should just by a Moo Moo to wear to work!  it was enough to smack me in the face (possibly with my gut) and start getting back into shape.  
  
  I could blame my messed up rotator cuffs, our store, work, my wonderful nack for cooking, the fine people at Leatherby’s for making such wonderful sundays, or even the nice people at the drive up windows who always have a cold dried up $1 cheese burger for me to eat, but no matter who I start to blame, it all boils down to “ME”!  
  I started off the year on the Body 4 Life Diet, on which I lost 10 pounds.  Now I’ve been a fan of this diet for years as I’ve been able to loose and maintain form time to time and you get a FREE DAY!  Oh how fun it is to know you’ve got a day where you can pig out on all your favorite foods and just totally enjoy yourself once a week!  This works for me for a while, as I plan my free days to a “T” with cheese fries, peanut butter ice cream sundays, Chili’s sampler plate, hey-day bars, etc.  The workouts every day get a little tiring but all in all its for a great cause, “ME” (by the way if you want to donate to my cause “ME” just let me know and I’ll tell you where to send the checks).  Now the reason why I have a hard time on this diet is I begin to slack off and not enjoy my free day to the fullest and I begin to think “well I didn’t get breakfast on my free day, a free dinner wont hurt me!”  This adds up to where I eventually have free time all the time!  This does not equal a slim and fit “ME”!  
  After giving up on Body 4 Life for a while, I decided to try the Ali pills.  Now so that you don't get to disgusted and throw up!  I’m going to start this a different route!  Ok, you’ve all been to the movies, but how many of you were lucky enough to see Avatar in the Theater?  Looks like most of you.  Ok, now did you have popcorn?  Did you see how they make the popcorn?  They have the fancy popcorn maker with the white light shinning down on the golden popcorn, steam sweltering off the fresh corn, and loads of salt!  They start with the tub of orange butter, add the corn and the popping starts.  The only thing gross is the tub of orange goo they use to make the popcorn. Ok that may seem like a odd way to talk about a diet but you’ll understand latter!  Ok well, I started taking the Ali pills, which the only side effect I noticed at first was my stomach growled quite a bit, not something to odd as my tummy likes to talk from time to time so I figured, “eh not such a bad diet.”  Well this was not the only side effect of the diet!  Luckily, I found the other side effect in the shower and did not have to have an embarrassing moment outside of the shower!  Well you may know with a stomach that is grumbling what is next to follow?  You know what I am talking about,,,, GAS!  Not such a big deal right?  Well, this pill breaks fat and oils down and passes them through your body faster than normal,  well disgustingly these pass right through you with no warning!  Luckily, again I was in the shower, but when I suddenly see the liquid form of the tub of orange running down my leg then “Houston, we have a major problem!”  After loosing 10 pounds on this diet, I decided to move on to a new diet!   
Ha,,,, got some done!!!  Will post a continuation next week!  Till then,, miss me!  I know you will!  (oh pics,,, top one is before the diet 2nd one is after the final diet ended! And yes the first pic I look like K-Fed did when he started Celebrity Fit Club)
