5,4,3,2,1 Do it, do it, do it, do it… May 12, 2008

Updates: Lost approx 8 lbs in this “Biggest Loser” thing-a-ma-jig.  Going good.  Ate some Mac Shack on Sunday.  NO GOOD. 

Joined the Y.  Have been there once.  Need to figure out a better way to motivate myself to go… figured that $40 a month would get me there.  Apparently, being lazy is worth the $40.  Think of other things to spend on… season DVD of The Office.  Bummer, man, maybe I should really start working out.

I dream about work now.  That is sick.  All I think about are followups.  24/7.  AHH must find way to leave “work at work” and bring “home” to work.  I swear, I’m too focused these days.

Most of my college friends are now graduating.  I wish I could be there with them… what I’m not missing are these 25 page papers they all seem to have procrastinated on and not completed that are due sometime midweek.  Eek.

I haven’t been to a movie in forever.  I should get on that.

Those Crazy Fad Diets April 10, 2008

• The “Do Nothing but Smoke Cigarettes” Diet would be a great choice.  Why not substitute one bad habit with another?  YAY.
• The “Weird Fruit” Diet doesn’t sound so bad.  I’m sure I’d get sick of eating Grapefruit after awhile, I couldn’t even imagine going to the grocery store and loading up on nothing but fruit.  I’d have to increase the amount of time I spent at the grocery store as fruit goes bad.  I hate grocery shopping.  NAY.
• Smoothie / Sandwich Diet worked once before.  I would have to buy a blender.  Sounds eerily similar to all fruit diet, but could throw some vegetables in there… I was pretty stressed on that diet, and took a lot of walks.  I think the Fox River Trail is a bit more dangerous than the arboretum trail at UWGB, but who doesn’t like to get attacked once in awhile? YAY.
• The Celery Diet.  Celery tastes like crap.  But, it does burn more calories than you chew, however, with zero health benefits.  Maybe if I drinked a lot of black coffee in conjunction with said celery diet it would work.  MAYBE.
• No Carbs.  No WAY.

I could possibly eat a lot of vitamins and nothing else.  Is that healthy?  Would that work?  Vitamins and coffee.  Maybe some sugar free sugar.  I’d be running off the walls. 

The Biggest Loser contest starts at work next Wednesday, runs three months and there are cash prizes.  I like cash.  Kind of a lot.  It’s going to be run similar to the show, with percentage of weight loss being key, not actual pounds, which is kind of good.  Hopefully my team will commit to it, and we can fly to victory!

Oh, glorious victory.
