For those who have not seen me on camera, what is wrong with you? Geesh, don't you know I'm a huge online celebrity? Man.
I am, of course about 30 pounds over weight. I hold it well when I'm sitting behind a desk but as many of you know we are now standing for Spacevidcast. It is time to diet.
I don't just go on a diet, I go all out. For many people this would cause them to immediatly fail, but for me if I can't go 155% then I just don't do it. To help me with this I am using
Alli. Basically Alli attaches to fat and prevents it from being broken down which means it passes right through your system rather than being absorbed. The good news is that the fat absorbion is far less which is healthier. The bad news is that fat still needs to go somewhere. So I'm considering wearing a diper to work. I kid, I kid.
Or do I?
But fat absorbion is not my only issue. I need to eat healtier, work out more and just generally have a better lifestyle. While Alli is a temporary pill that will help me lose weight a bit more rapidly, I intend to keep it off which means I have to change most everything about my life. I'm OK with this, but it won't be easy. The big problem for me is the amount of soda pop that I drink and basically the sugar intake I have. As I understand it, excess sugar is stored in the liver and other vital organs. When those organs are full of sugar the rest of it turns to fat which can lead to, you guess it, weight gain. And boy do I like sugar!
I have just cut out soda for the most part. One or two cans a week should be OK, but the three or four per day have to stop. I have already been drinking a lot more water as of this weekend and plan to keep it up.
The first two weeks will be the hardest, but being that I'm on camera a lot more and frankly this is good for me I fully intent to keep it up. The great community over at Spacevidcast should also help keep me on-track. I'll get a scale and give weekly report so Starbucks and Kat can yell at me if I'm not doing good enough. Eventually I'll get myself back in to shape... And by back I mean in shape since I have never actually been fit, ever.
