From the reading that I have been doing the last few days, I think I need to start increasing my protein intake. Apparently, a man my size should be consuming at least 150 grams of protein a day, and since I am trying to build muscle, it should probably be more like 200. So I am going to start paying close attention to the amount of protein I eat per day, and try to keep it around 150-200 grams per day.

I have been in a plateau all this week. I am not going to let it frustrate me though. Even though I am friggin’ tired of being fat, and really want to lose quickly, I understand that it isn’t going to happen all at once. I am going to keep on keeping on, and continue doing what I know is good for me. Even if it takes another month to drop another 10 pounds, I can’t quit. I want to lose weight and get healthy more than I have ever wanted anything in my life. If I quit now, I will just be setting myself up for failure in the future.

that’s all for now.

Apples! I have been craving apples every second of every day. I friggin’ love the things. They are delicious, nutritious, and fun to eat.I have eaten at least 2 apples every day for the past week, and I plan on continuing to do that for the rest of my days.

Apples are Greater than Pizza

Apples have been curbing my usually rampant sweet tooth, and they have made my regular “deposits” more regular . My friends, I have rediscovered a long standing super food: Apples!

On the note of weight loss progress…..

Over the last few days, I have been able to both lose my extra Las Vegas weight, and cross the line from the 60′s to the 50′s, and hope to be in the 40′s by next week. Admittedly my little “indulgence” with the pizza has slowed me down a pound or two, but after being sick last night I think I have learned my lesson(for now anyway). I see you all tomorrow with another video update.

p.s. I am soooo Finished Being Fat!

When you buy a car with a six-cylinder engine, you expect to get six cylinders. When you buy a dress in a size 10, you expect a size 10. And when you buy a burger at a fast-food joint that’s listed on the menu as containing 500 calories, you jolly well expect 500. But you may be getting a lot more than that. The same may be true of the omelet and the pasta you get at a sit-down restaurant — and of the frozen dinner with the label you read so carefully before you tossed it in your supermarket basket and took it home.
