El Jefe - Diet Update

Good News Everyone!  My diet is going well and I would call it an early success!  Remember, I started out at around 207 and as of today, I am down to 199. 

You probably want to know how I have done it.  That seems to be the big question these days.  I am waiting for Richard Simmons to give me a call and ask for some advice.  Maybe even the guys from "The Biggest Loser" will want to know my secret!

Anyway, I made three very simple changes that everyone can do:
1.  I am starting to eat a lot less.  I used to eat till I got full and then tried to finish my food.  I kept going.  Now, If I feel close to full, I stop, even if there is still some lasagna on the plate, I am done.
2.  I am eating my big meal of the day at lunch instead of dinner.  This helps immensely as now I am not going to bed with a lot of food in my stomach that won't get burned off and stored into fat.  This is a big change.
3. I am the Boys soccer coach at my high school.  This year, I am running with the team more often and taking part in alot of the drills.  This is helping me burn calories.  You don't have to be a coach though -- Just get out there and start walking, running, exercising.

I will keep you posted!  El Jefe

OOPS! - I Should Have Stayed Sick

El Jefe here with another diet update.  Not a good one either.  Since I have been feeling better, I have been eating better.  Despite soccer season starting and playing with the team in practice, I have actually gained a couple of pounds over the past two days.  I am at 205 Lbs.  I was going to run today, but we got three inches of snow last night so screw that!  I really need to move back to Texas or maybe Arizona or out to Cali with the Write Guyz so I wouldn't have to worry about snow and cold weather.  This really blows!!!

WTF!?!?!  I have to get serious.  I have to change my attitude and focus on losing weight!   I am thinking of doing something drastic...I just don't know what yet.  When I figure it out, I will let you know.  And don't worry, it will be earth shattering!!!

Diet Update - El Jefe loses Weight!!!

Nothing like being sick to lose weight!  Just a quick diet update.  I got sick last Thursday and still do not feel 100%.  I had actually gained a couple of pounds up until Thursday, but over the last 5 days, I have lost 5 pounds.  Probably because I hate eating when I can't taste anything.  I have bucket-loads of phlegm and mocos going down my throat.  Tonight was the first real mean I have eaten since Friday lunch.  Anyway, I am at about 204 right now.  Well on my way.  I need to get sick more often.
