Cap'n Slow's Big Fat Ass Review

Last week I wrote that I am fat.  This week, for consistency's sake, I will report that I am still fat, albeit less fat than last week.  My goal is to lose about 2 pounds a week for the 8 weeks.  For the West Virginia readers,  oh wait...that's funny!

West Virginia readers...

Anyway, losing that weight is a challenge fraught with challenges .  The biggest challenge is finding time to ride now that I work 200000 miles away in Colorado Springs.  And while I have now found a route that gives me around 30 miles a day AND goes by Ted Haggard's Hot Man-on-man Action Church:

its still tough to ride every day.  The riding will get easier.  But the dieting will not.

The dieting will be my undoing.  I know this.  I love to eat.  Hamburgers and fries

are God's greatest creation unless you are Ted Haggard who enjoys sucking the cream out of Twinkies while enjoying a rubdown by his favorite meth dealer.  In adition to burgers and fries, I love me some beer.  Mmmm...beer.

So what have we learned today?  The Cap'n has no will power when it comes to eating.  That's what we have learned.

That said, I talked myself into getting on the scale last night.  Its been about a week since I weighed in at 168 pounds.  I was a bit concerned about the 2 pounds per week goal as I have routinely fallen off the diet wagon over the past 7 or 8 days.  But, I had ridden the bike and eaten moderately for about half the days, so I was curious to see the results.

The scale groaned like Ted on the altar and finally produced its result:  166lbs.  I hit the 2 pound per week mark without too much effort.  That made me feel pretty good and when I feel good, I like to suck the cream...no wait...wrong story...

So the weight loss effort went well over the last week.  I'll do another weigh in next Friday and hopefully I will be at the 163 pound mark.  I have an opportunity to get in lots of miles over the next 5 days and that should go a long way toward my weight going down faster than Ted on a Twinkie.
