New Years Resolutions 2008 - Page 3

but Jon was thinking about his doobie yesterday ..... damn, there goes the plan!!!!   LOL

Sounds like a well thought out plan of attack!
X2 on the squats- biggest individual muscles use the most food energy and the after effect is amplified by the walk/run/elliptical routine.
Maybe sticking with falk's cig reduction plan is the best idea to wean off without hammering the buffet as compensation.
Laying off the sweet smoke will prolly help with the weight reduction too.  Not my personal choice tho(losing weight or layin off cheeb).  I say smoke up, drink a thermobomb type beverage, eat a powerbar and go lift!
 
Stick to the plan and whup dey azz!

After pigging out this weekend, I didn't make my goal of 250lbs.  At weigh in this morning I weighed 241.2 lbs.  I know it is because I didn't eat enough salt this weekend to retain water.  I am just not a big salt fan though.  That will help me out in the weight loss.
I'll update my bi-monthly weights on the weigh in's on this thread.

Good luck Jon!!!!

Oh yeah .... valdeez.  In HS, some of my friends used to smoke the sweet stuff and not eat to cut the last couple of pounds.

How's the smoking and drinking resolution coming?

Well ..... the scotch is covering the smoking nicely!!!!!  LOL

I've only had 7 smokes today.  We had to take the baby to day care for the first time today so that was a bit stressful.  It's hard to hand over your 9 week old baby to (basically) a total stranger.  I am going to do as Falkore suggested though and only carry like 7 in a pack with me to force myself to ration them. The drinking will be cut off as of tonight.  Remember I was trying to pack on some weight for the weigh in today.  My weak @$$ couldn't even finish a case of beer by myself over the weekend.  Of course, there was some whiskey and vodka drinking thrown in there too.  And I drank a bottle of champagne one night.  And a jumbo Margarita at a Mexican restaraunt last night.  Dang....I drink too much

woops, double post -deleted-

The Margarita needed extra salt.
Not bad at 241 tho- good margin for victory!

Forgot to update yesterday:
Yesterday was not an "official" weigh in, but it was on a pay day so most people weighed anyway.
I weighed 232.2.  So I've lost 9 lbs in 8 days.  Or 3.73% of my starting body weight.  The funny thing is, I didn't even try all that hard last week.  Never once went walking or running.  I drank about 1 or 2 beers every night too.  on the weekend I went out to Buffalo Wild Wings and had some super calorie filled "Ultimate Nachos" as well as a bunch of deep fried boneless chicken wings.  To wash it down I had 4 22oz Guinesses and a 22oz Heineken (draft - Heineken draft is soooo much better than the overpriced skunk beer that comes in the green bottles.)
Yesterday I started my 5 - 6 small meals a day plan.  My wife and I walked about 2 miles Monday and Tuesday night as well.  Plus I've cut out salt (I don't add it to anything).  And I've been drinking as much water as I can.
The next weigh in is January 31.  But I may weigh myself for the heck of it on Tuesday next week anyway.

Sounds good!!!  I miss BW3!!!!  I had one across the street one year at school and nobody's ever heard of them in northern Jersey!!!  I used to live on the quarter wings and 50 cent legs when I was a broke college kid.  We'd go there and fill up the fridge for the next few days!!!!

MMmmmmm........deep fried chicken wings and beer...........mmmmmmm.
I love the mango habanero sauce.  The asian zing is good too.

Those 2 must be new in the past 6 years!  Haven't had them.

Yeah they came out a few years ago.  I think the Mango Habanero is one of the newest.  I think it is only one notch down from their "Blazin'" sauce.  I love hot stuff though.  i've had the blazin before.  My opinion of it was "It's hot, but I've had much hotter before"
The Mango Habanero is painfully delicious!

Sounds awesome ...... I'd need a handful of Tums afterwards though, but I'd still be game.   My favorite there was the Spicy garlic, but not great for a date ..... or if you plan on having a date that week, j/k.  You're making me hungry and it's only 10:30 and I ate breakfast today!!!  DAMN YOU!!!! 

Haha I'm about to warm up meal of the day #2.  The one good thing about eating during the day is: all of the women around me who are in this competition have to smell my food, which makes them hungry.  I do everything home made. Today I'm having turkey chili over a small baked potato.  Of course, without any salt, the flavor lacks a little.  To me, it smells better than it tastes.  So the women are all like "Wow that smells good.  Now I'm hungry."  The office kitchen has tons of free junk food in the cabinets!! muahahaha

LOL .... what a dick!!!

Hey Jon ..... here's a bit of inspiration ...... with a lot of perspiration.  I hit a few goals today at the gym.  Level 10 of 20 on the eliptical: 3 miles in 25 minutes, the last 10 minutes at 175-180 steps per minute, final steady heartrate 176, heartrate after 1 minute of cooldown - 150, heartrate after 2 minutes of cooldown - 120

That is the highest that I've been able to maintain my heartrate.  Also, I don't stop my cooldown until my pulse drops to 120 or below, minimum of 2 minutes.  It takes me 3 minutes to get up to 160 steps per minute and 5 to be fully warmed up. 

....BW3?

never heard of em.

mango habenero sauce sounds delicous though...

We call BWW,   Bdubs ova here!
 
I love the sweet bbq I thik it is.  I havent been there in quite awhile.  I always order my wings WET!  MMMmmmm more sauce!

^  No smart a$$ comments needed   haha jk gimme whatcha got
 
 
 
Forgot to mention I am going to Cracker Barrel in about 45 minutes.  Havent been there in forever either, but its sooo goood!  Country fried steak with their gravy, or sausage biscuits, or pancakes....What will I get?!   Maybe ill save $$$ and just play giant checkers by the fire place

yup ... B-Dubs, BW3, Buffalo Wings Wild ....... not exactly sure where the 3 came from, but it's on their coasters ..... or at least it used to be.  In Blacksburg, VA, it's one of the nicer sports bars too.

ohhh right buffalo wild wings. theres two around us, never been to one. their always packed.

Mmmmm....deep fried steak with gravy....mmmmmm......
Dangit!  I'm on a diet here!
 
I always get the "Dynamic Sauce Trio" with boneless wings.  They bring you 3 sauces of your choice and anywhere from 12 to 18 wings.  The wings come dry and the sauce is on the side.  I always get Mango Habanero and Asian Zing, then I usually always get a different flavor every time for my third choice.  Sometimes I just get "medium" and some bleu cheeze on the side.  Every now and then I'll get "blazin."  last time I got parmesean garlic cause I was sharing with my wife.  She'll eat the Asian Zing, but she stays away from the Mango Habanero.
The "Ultimate Nachos" at BWW are frickin awesome!
