Big Numbers, Ahoy! The Good Doctor has turned on me. She really has it out for me. Not only does she want me to do things I don't want to do, she has broken my cardinal rule when I started this. She has set a quantifiable target. A goal for me to reach for in an allotted amount of time. A BHAG (Big Hairy Aggressive Goal... that's for all you black belts out there) if you will. If it isn't obvious yet, here is the breakdown:
100 Pounds
Its a big number. This will take some time to reach, but with some stick-to-it-tiveness I should be able to reach that goal in time. Wait, whats that? Not just 100 pounds?
100 Pounds in 3 Months
3 months isn't that far away, if you hadn't noticed. Its 91 Days away... I may not have an appointment on the 91st day, so lets call it:
100 Pounds in 100 Days
Kind of ironic that I am also posting this on the 100th day of the year. 6 Days of gym time as well, she ordered. That's a hell of a lot more than the 2 days a week I have been averaging. Lets break 100 Pounds in 100 Days down statistically:
- I will need to lose an average of 1 Pound a day.
- It is the equivalent of 1.1 Nicole Richie's
- If I received $1 for every pound lost, I could buy 2 tanks of gasoline
- It is the equivalent of 400 Quarter Pounders from McDonalds
- It is 11.75 Gallons of Milk
- It is 45.359 Kilograms or 7.1428 Stone
- It is 20% of the weight of John Goodman
Most importantly, it just under 25% of MY body weight, and this is why it needs to come off. I can't tell you how much of a wall I feel is before me. July seems just over the hill. Anybody want to come keep me company? Anybody want to help me beef up my iPod?
Anyone?

You can do it. I lost 100 lbs in 6 months and I wasn’t going to the gym. I also had Thanksgiving and Christmas in the middle of that. What really got me going was tocut out ALL fried foods and replace potatoes with vegetables. That, and find a vegetable you like (for me it’s carrots) and make that your primary snack. You’ll eat carrots til your sick, but after a while, your stomach will adjust, shrink and you won’t snack as much.
And stop drinking soda!
Baby steps.... eat cheese pizza instead of pepperoni... drink diet sodas.... don't eat after 8pm at night.... watch futbol while on the treadmill... and so on.
You'll make it. Start now, not next week.
