How can FatHubby lose weight, when……

June 29, 2007

How can FatHubby lose weight, when SFF is asking me out to the mexican restaurant (she ate pretty good), then goes to get ice cream? And she tried to justify it by saying “sugar-free”? What the hell is sugar-free ice cream? Is that anything like “safe-cigarettes”?

I am down to 294 lbs. Not on track, but losing.

I also signed up for the gym.

One week, one pound…….errrh…..

June 19, 2007

Off to a blazing start…..not!

Trying to get my handle on this “eating right” thing. In addition, still trying to figure out this whole “exercise” thing. Conceptually I am there. Motivationally, I want to drink a beer and think about it some more, to get the right perspective on things.

SFF reminded me this morning about my cholesterol and said I needed to do something about it today.

What I really need is a drill sergeant like R. Lee Ermey

R Lee

That, a good beating, and my jaw wired shut. That should take care of business.

SFF is getting lots of attention as usual, a diet-site wrote an article about her blog, and mentioned a few of her more interesting posts and comments.

A visit to the doctor

June 6, 2007

I had to go.

He was holding my scripts hostage….till I came in for a visit.

No narcotics, just good old fashioned BP medication to keep the morbidly obese alive a few more years. Apparently he wanted to run a few tests to make sure I was not gonna die before I payed up. The nurse weighed me (297 lbs.) down from 305 (a lifetime of work) since SFF has been eating right.

The big news is, I made a wager with my doctor to get my BP down without medication: Goal weight of 240-250 lbs. in 6-9 months. Now I have somebody watching over my shoulder.

That is Motivation
