did not enjoy Burn After Reading as much as I had expected. But still an enjoyable movie.

Day 8 – First week review
Saturday, September 13th, 2008So a week has gone by and I’ve experimented various ways to loose some wait. This first phase was all about nutrition, cut down on portions, fats and anything junk food related. I can’t say I have a perfect score, but at least I can count in one hand all the incidents in witch I have failed.
- A can of Pepsi x2
- A piece of cake with frosting
- A donught with filling
- Bacardi Breezer x3
The rest of the time I’ve been drinking blended peaches (it’s the season!), eating some salad with dressing, got Jell-O as an alternative snack (instead of chips!). This morning I weighted in a 250 pounds, but I have a definite sense that over the week I’ve been improving greatly on what I eat, I’ll keep on with the challenge and bet on a healthier diet. This week I shall introduce physical exercise. Stay tuned! (Yes videos will return).
Quantum of Solace
Thursday, September 11th, 2008
Daniel Craig rules as James Bond! He opened my eyes to the franchise with Casino Royale and I’ve never been more excited about Bond movies before in my life. Here is a second trailer for the 22nd movie name Quantum of Solace. A quest for revenge will begin this november, take that Harry Potter!
Day 3 – Don’t count me out
Monday, September 8th, 2008My challenge is still on going, I guess I can’t find the time to put a blog post every day, but I still keep track of what is going on. Here’s on quick run down of Day 2 and the morning of Day 3. On Sunday I’ve decided to eat as usual but only cut down on the size of my portions. As of today I weighted in at 251 pounds! I know, I know it’s not a significant number but if it had gone up it would of been a total disaster.
As of this morning I’ve had a banana and a V8 for breakfast, I’ll probably eat outside the house for lunch but I will have to make sure it’s healthy.
Day 1 – It begins…
Saturday, September 6th, 2008First day. No work out but I did get to break a sweat at work. Those following me on Twitter have the information on my ups and downs. As the day went by, I avoided two detrimental nutrients from my alimentation.
I usually like my cereals sweet, but good old regular Corn Flakes are still quite good without sugar added. At lunch I’ve decided to skip the regular trios and ditch the fries and soft drink, instead a simple double hamburger with a “diet” green iced tea. It was still delicious, but for someone used to drive on a high level of calories I was hungry 5 hours later.
So I end this first day with two pieces of chicken, rice with peas, a Pepsi and a piece of cake. So you see that this last meal of the day is pretty much a disaster diet wise, but considering that I’ve cut the portions I don’t think it’s a complete fail.
I weighted in this morning (before breakfast) at an embarrassing 254 pounds, and to think women are offended if asked about their weight. But tomorrow morning will tell if that first day of efforts will start showing right away or not. I imagine it will require a few days before I can notice a change.
Day 0 – Fifty pounds challenge
Friday, September 5th, 2008The sound isn’t great I know. You might will have to crank up the volume (ALL THE WAY!) a bit but here is the low-down. Starting tomorrow September 6th 2008, I will challenge myself to loose 50 pounds and I’ve given myself 60 days to do it. This means I have to loose an average of 0.83 pounds EVERYDAY to achieve this goal. It is definetly over ambitious but even if I achieve only half of that it will be a personnal success. I will try to blog about it everyday to keep you updated on what I’m going through and how my lifestyle needs to change to loose weight.
My current plan is to workout twice a week, avoid fried foods and soft drinks. If you have any advice please leave them in the comments below. Some cheering up would be nice too. Haters = downers = pessimistic loosers (please get lost in the woods).
