A Losing Battle: Week 3

29 04 2008

I am back with another update on the weight loss front.  I skipped last weeks update simplly because of feeling defeated.   The diet still wasn’t happening and only one additional day of exercise was added.   Actually, I gained 1 pound.  Not fun at all.

This week was different, and I have some excellent news…

“Rock With U” by Janet Jackson

 

Janet is one of my favorite artist of all time.  Her newest album Discipline is a commercial, fun effort.  It’s totally worthy of hanging with the likes of Madonna’s and Mariah’s latest albums.

I am a little late with this one, but trust it will be worth it. 

My biggest inspiration is music.  Music has the power to change  your mood like no other artistic medium.  One of my favorite genres is downtempo.  It’s chill, sexy, glam, and un-pretentious. 

With no further delay, I present “No Use” one of my all time favorite tracks from Jazzanova.

It is a laid-back cut that never grows tried.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.





A Losing Battle: Week 1

14 04 2008

Okay, so here’s the deal…I only headed to the gym 3 times last week.  My diet has also consisted of crap (KFC, pizza, etc….)  Needless to say, not much progress was made.  Here’s the breakdown;

Estelle f/ Kanye West - “American Boy”

I was turned on to this song while reading FourFour.  It’s been stuck in my head ever since.  It’s glam, fun, and great way to start the week.  Enjoy!!!

Side note: If you’re a fan of ANTM, you have to read Rich’s recaps at FourFour.  It’s too much!!

Look no further….

I honestly have no words.  I’m slightly ashamed of showing this, but it just cracks me up.

What are we doing people?

Thanks, Fresh from Crunk and Disorderly for making my evening





A Losing Battle

9 04 2008

I have decided to take a good hard look at myself today a couple of days ago.  What I have discovered isn’t that pretty.  Currently, I am a card carrying junior member of “Team Chunk”.  It’s something not to be proud of but it is the truth.  here’s the stats and pic to prove it.

Height: 6′4″

Weight: 268

Chest: 46″

Waist: 43″ (only time in my life I’ve hit above 40″)

Hips: 49″

BMI: 32.6 (technically obese…EEK!!)

The above photo is just not me.  ICK!!! 

I get ill just thinking about it.  To go from sleek and chic, to downright pudgy is a hard pill to swallow.   Especially, since the weight gain has happened only in the last year or two.  

Here are the goals I would like to achieve by this time next year:

Weight: 205 (Taking into account I will gain some muscle mass)

Chest: 44″

Waist: 34″

Hips: 42″ (I don’t think my butt will allow me to be any smaller)

So, this post is to document my journey to get back to my best physical self.  Once a week or so I will post my progress on my journey to find me again.

Wish me luck!!

The following is a waste of time provided by Madonna and JT. Granted I would kill to look like her at 50, well not exactly.  Watch before it’s pulled.
