“So, what’d you do this week?” – Random passerby.
Well, I’m glad you asked! Because what I’ve done this week, as well as most of the past ten weeks, has really helped me with my diet. I’ve had many discussions over the last ten weeks with people on and off the diet. Many people agree, you can’t just “diet” and see lasting results. Things have to change. And I could not agree more. So for any of you that have tried dieting, and failed, know that a diet is not all you need. You need exercise, a good healthy diet, and you absolutely need to break bad habits.
Getting back to the question. Here is what my week looked like for week ten.
- Monday: Basketball
- Tuesday: Sit-ups, push ups, lunges, etc.
- Wednesday: Basketball
- Thursday: Sit-ups, push ups, lunges, etc.
- Friday: Basketball
- Saturday: Football
- Sunday: Ultimate Frisbee
- Monday: Basketball
You might ask yourself where I get the time for all of this. Well, all of it occurs usually from 7-10pm at night (except on the weekends). Eliza usually goes walking around the same time so it usually works out good.
I try to stay as close to the above schedule as possible each week. Some weekends are filled with parties, movies, etc. But for the most part we’ve both been taking every opportunity to do something active. This is a big change from us just sitting at home on our computers or watching TV.
My results? Last week I weighed in at 202.0lbs. One of my milestones that I set from the beginning was to be at 200lbs. by the time of our anniversary. I think it was pretty obvious last week I was going to make it (being that our anniversary is on August 27th). Instead of just telling you, I’ll show you what I weigh.
Week ten weight: 197.2lbs.
I find it strange to start out my weight with a 1! I was able to lose 4.8 pounds this week (for a grand total of 28.4lbs. in ten weeks or 2.84lbs. average loss per week), and really I owe it all to the exercise. My caloric intake is fairly steady, my muscles are gaining strength, and my fat is reducing.
I can’t wait to see everyone else’s week ten results.

Holy shit! I wish mine was going that quickly, but I don’t exercise quite that much. I’m going to start doing more though for sure!
Looking great!
Great work, inspirer of men!
You’ve reached your goals each time.
Dude, awesome job. Now stand up straight and be proud of your damn self!
Good work, fat man. Not sure how much longer I’ll be able to call you that. Ahh, who the hell am I kidding? You being skinny won’t stop that.
Regardless, keep up the good work, Fatty Fatty Fat Fat.
Oh please for the love of all that is holy never stop calling me fat.
I know I already told you via IM, but.. major props for sticking with your diet. You have a noticeable weight loss and you look generally healthier. It’s just further proof that people who aren’t genetically locked, can be healthier if they put their mind to it, and it doesn’t take pills or crazy dieting programs by people with strange names. It really is possible and this is just one of many examples.
Daniel: Thanks man. I am definitely going to write something on that very subject soon.
great work
definitely finding time is key!!!
inspiring pictures to say the least
