I started a diet. It’s not by a desire to better my health in any way or even because I care what I look like which is AWESOME! Any who contest that are fools.  Anyway, my dietary change is being fueled by cold hard cash my friends.

The people I work with have started an in company version The Biggest Loser weight competition. Over a course of 12 weeks I, along with 19 others will be attempting to lose weight to collect a grand prize of, DRUM ROLL PLEASE……….. $240.

It isn’t a terribly large sum but it is still something to win, which I like doing.

I weighed in last Saturday at a staggering 229 pounds. The goal weight I set is a loss of 30 pounds which puts me at just under 200 when this thing wraps up.

Now the contest runs from Aug. 1 to Oct. 31 which means that so far I’m one week in. Since the first of the month I have monitored what I have been eating. It’s been a rocky first week. I ate some things I shouldn’t and came very close to quitting. I really do miss the food I love.

Hot ‘n Spicy Chicken Sandwiches from McDonald’s, French Fries, Soda, Root Beer. Also, oddly enough for me… real beer which I must drink in moderation when I partake.

Instead of my usual deep fried deliciousness of a diet, my meals are filled with salads, light sandwiches, water.  At Arriba I ordered a frerakin’ grilled chicken breast with beans while those around me ate mini chimis and big awesome meals.

At Subway I attempted to enjoy my first flatbread sub. It was horrible. Bland and boring. Granted Justine was sitting across from me eating a fucking Spicy Italian with the works. So what if I may have been comparing a bit too much? I WAS HUNGRY DAMN IT!

On top of doing all that, I am also running regularly. which will hopefully work toward my ultimate goal.

Well, that’s it for now
