So as you all know quitting smoking will be a challenge for another time. I am like I guess everyone else in the world, and doing the weight loss thing now. Am I addicted to fast food... absolutely. So this is now morphing to overcoming food addiction.
Lets preface really quick. I lost a solid 30lbs in the last year. Pretty effortlessly which is lucky, I actually lost more than that, but have been gaining back weight slowly so that brings us here. Three weeks ago my mom forced me to join weight watchers with her, I was no taking it seriously. The first week I strangely lost 4 lbs, but again with no counting or following through week 2 I gained 3.2lbs. This week I am determined to do well. I have eaten fast food this week. I am bummed about it. Its like the cigarette thing, the minute it pops in to my head its like fucking forget it. If I don't just do it, I will eat 20x the calories and fat of ANYTHING else and still crave it. So what the hell.
I bought a ton of veggies and fruit today as well as some raw fish fillets and chicken breast. I figure I can make it work enough to help? We will see, obviously I am starting to flow in this system, and kind of enjoying it.
My dad joined planet fitness, and since hes laid off it has become his life. He lives maybe 3 minutes from the gym, and insists on showering there. He got the membership, then did not go for almost a week so he could make sure his gym bag was perfect. He bought new sneaks, a fancy lock, and flip flops for the showers. Oh not to mention a stylish gym bag, new head phones, and has to ask the front desk EVERY time he goes what perks the "black card" members have over the regular membership. The conversation goes like this
My dad - "Hey how you doing, how much are drinks here for me since I have the black card?"
Guy at desk - "1$"
My dad - "What is the price or everyone else"
Guy at desk - "2$"
My dad - "Thats great, wow, how much are they are wawa, maybe i'll start walking up here for a drink from now on"
Yeah... either way going with him is actually fun. Mainly because we both do our own things. I am surprised, I had a feeling he would be clingy, but hes not at all. My only complaint is that he is already deaf, he wears his headphones music at max volume and does not turn it down when he talks to you. So today I was on a weight machine, and he strolls over, and goes at the loudest voice volume ever "85lbs, thats great, I tease your mom because she does everything so light" I was like signalling him to lower his voice, and he just laughed at me and said "My music is at the max volume" again at the loudest voice volume ever.
Anyway... progress will show tomorrow. Two days of fast food, but two days of gym that I had not done in FOREVER.
I will let you all know the details... tune in tomorrow evening.. if its a really bad result.. who knows when I will be able to admit it.. so keep checking.
Ha! The stuff about your dad made laugh heartily.
