Reduce my weight to 11 stone

I’ve reduced my cola intake to once a day, roughly equivalent to 18 ounces rather than 72 ounces; I’ve been running six miles a day for the past three days; and this afternoon I completed 100 push-ups and 101 sit-ups, but guess what? My weight is up!

And it ain’t muscle mass!

I am STILL at 13 stone 5 pounds.

I reduced my Coca Cola intake to a fraction of my usual daily consumption last week, but lost nothing. Not much physical exercise last week, however. I am going to try to reduce my cola / sugary beverage consumption for the next week or so and see if there’s an impact.

I’ve seen photos of myself from the last week. So, uh… yeah.

Haven’t lost a godd@mned ounce since starting this godd@mned goal THIRTY-NINE GODD@MNED MONTHS AGO!

I’ve had a cold, I’ve been loafing. They call it loafing because you end up with a body consistency approximating that of a very dense, doughy bread. Very dense.

I currently weigh the most I ever have in my life: 13 stone 8 pounds.

Too many sugary fizzy drinks, not enough exercise.

Thirteen stone seven pounds. Gah!

Thirteen stone six is NOT heading in the right direction!

I need to get a little bit more serious about this. I think I should:

1. Reduce my soda pop/sugary drink intake.
2. Reduce considerably my ingestion of cheese.
3. Virtually eliminate deep fried stuff (Chicken Selects) at McD’s.
4. Consume more “low caloric density” foods (carrots, celery)

I can try this for a week, huh? Sitting here, overly-full after a tasty Mexican restaurant meal, too full of refried beans, fried rice, and cheese enchiladas and chips to even move, a diet of celery and water (with a hint of lemon) sounds quite appealing. I think I’ll give it a try. Caffeine-withdrawal headache, here I come!

I don’t get it. Sit-ups daily. Running, occasionally. Yet, I’m getting fatter by the day! Up about seven pounds… I mean half a stone… over the last two weeks. Most (all) of it at waist level.

Maybe I have some gargantuan tumor or something.

I see I’ve had this goal for 30 weeks now, with nothing, other than “negative progress,” to show for it. Not good. Not good at all.

Negative progress. Not good.
