The Defluff Continues: Week 5
Hey guys!! well, I’m glad everyone enjoyed my little comical stories.. I sure have plenty of little instances that just make one have to laugh.. more to come.. oh and if you just can’t get enough, and I know you’re dieing for more…, scroll down to some of my previous blogs.. boy did I go through some crazy stuff a few months ago.. you’ll enjoy….
Oh and before I forget, I might need to make a clarification on "The Dentist" entry.. (for Nicky)
I mentioned I was "perfect" when referring to coming from the dentist.. but following that was "in 8-10 years" don’t get me wrong I’ve got my share of lead in my mouth.. I’m just happy I’ve been this long without issue… but all from years ago when I made dentist appointments.. now I let the office make the appointments and low and behold.. I go 2 times a years and actually pay attention to what they tell me to do.. that works.. lol actually I realized a while ago that I was fortunate to not have had braces and/or lose any teeth, that I should take care of them.. you know how it is when you are a kid.. who wants to go to the dentist.. now.. I only brush the teeth I want to keep.. lol enough on that.. wake up there is some interesting stuff ahead here..
I learned today that the new results for the fattest and thinnest states report came out.. with a national obesity rate of 68%.. ugh!! sorry, I threw up just a little bit in my mouth.. I did find out that my state, CT, is 3rd thinnest.. which absolutely blows my mind because There Is Nothing To Do Here!!!! people spend half their day commuting in this unreal I95 traffic and the other half choosing their path of least resistance all while complaining about how slow the drive through is at McDonald’s.. and no one, I mean no one does their own yard work or house work… there is a joke here and you know what it is.. so I’ll refrain from saying it… lol maybe it’s because we still have farms.. nah then Kansas would be in the top 5.. maybe they only got half the CT population to respond, that makes more sense considering fairfield county and beyond is full of rich snobs who would rather step on your face than look at you.. in any event.. the study was based on BMI (Body Mass Index).. which we all know is a farce.. a bogus number that is so beyond outdated in having any relativity in such a study.. as we all know a pro bodybuilder who is 5′10 and 245 pounds with 3% BF will have the exact same BMI as an obese guy 5′10" 245 and 28% BF… besides.. I don’t remember doing any test.. nor have I ever heard of it.. where do they get the results.. tell me how this study holds any water whatsoever.. the whole list is on calorielab.com now why isn’t this damn line moving!!!.. jk…
On to the real news of the day.. hey, I took the scenic route that’s all.. so I weigh.. and check BF.. I had to do it like 12 times just to make sure it was right.. I am down 5 pounds and down .1 on BF% from last week which dips me under 26%… how happy am I right now.. I think you know.. so if you jump up and down and yell and scream and call your friends.. pretned thats me.. lol
This challenge, I can’t even tell you.. you guys have brought such a feeling of belonging for me and just participating with real honest to goodness fun caring compassionate people each week is indescribable.. It’s been the best thing for me just to get mentally through everything.. of course I have to do the physical work but it all seems fun and interesting and going through this battle with friends (that you have to report to!!) means much more than the lone struggle we would otherwise have to endure.. Thanks for keeping me in line.. lol ok, why do I have to end this defluff next week in favor of a booty challenge again!!, I’m doing pretty good here.. lol I’ll get to everyones blogs later today.. Have a wonderful weekend-week!!!..
