Gyp's 2013 dietary journal

[Gyp Rosetti]

Long time lurker. I just signed up to say that I'm in, I want to beat you all. I'm 220, and I wouldn't be surprised if I'm dead in 1 to 5 years if I don't lost some weight. So it's on, I declare that I'm going to drop 20 and keep it off before the OP and anyone else here -- yes, it's a competition. (I'd actually be happy with 207, my best weight in years, but I'll make it a tough goal, what the hell. I haven't weighed 200 since before most of you were born, so this would be no small feat.)

For my dietary log, let it be known that most of the bulk purchases of half price Xmas candy is already gone, so I'm sucking down Hershey's Baking Chips Chocolates (meant for cookies) straight from the bag as we speak, and tyhen it's off to the gym.

Later bitches.

Hey, if you don't die from your feasts, you'll die from saving homeless dudes from blazing fires on the ice, ya know?

Thought the same thing. These made me laugh.

I'm going to lose 20 and I avoid icy rivers.

Do you actually have a specific diet that you are trying to follow or are you just portioning on the fly?

Nothing specific but in general, more of a paleo-diet. Lots of veggies, fruit, lean meats and fish.

Although, I tried to go to bed early, just woke up to watch some more football, and am pounding brownies like they're going out of style.

[Gyp Rosetti]

Ate seven brownies altogether. At 11 grams of fat per brownie, that's 77 grams of fat.

I used to be about 10-15 pounds overweight - nothing major but just enough to annoy me because I got plenty of aerobic activity playing b-ball 2-3 times a week and I lift weights 5 days a week.

I did two simple things:

1- Stopped eating lunch. I'm convinced Lunch is just a fake meal made up by the Wonder Bread Corporation. I always found myself eating garbage food anyway, especially on weekdays and when I was single. So I just cut it out. The first couple weeks were torcher - now I don't miss it at all. I eat a big breakfast aournd 9 am and then whatever I want for dinner at around 5:30 pm and I'm pretty much set. No calorie counting, no cutting out foods, no dietetic food. Nothing

2- Got a Fitness Ball. Instead of sitting on the couch, sit on a Fitness Ball when watching TV - it's relatively comfortable. Do occassional sets of crunches. You'll be amazed how many you can do once you get in to it. During a Jazz game, you'll find yourself doing a 1000+ crunches after a while. When they get too easy get a Medicine Ball and do crunches with them.

Those two things got me down from around 205-210 to 185-190 with killer Abs

Dude, with me, it's not a matter of what to do. It's simply doing it. I went from 220 to about 188 a couple years ago in about four months. Then, one beer led to another, and well...
