1st Blog / Rant Of Course
Ok I’ve never wrote a blog on this site or any other site in my life. I’m currently traveling for work for a couple days so I’m bored. Luckily, there’s a gym where I’m at so I haven’t missed a workout or even a meal and it’s only a few days so even if I do it won’t hurt. Anyway, I’ve been building up a rant for a few months now, and it’s time to unload!
Food pushers: GET THE F**K OUT OF MY FACE, I DO NOT WANT A DEEP FRIED OREO, DEEP FRIED BOLOGNA SANDWICH, OR ANYTHING ELSE YOU FAT F**K’S HAVE MANAGED TO FIND A WAY TO THROW IN A BOILING POOL OF GREASE AND CALL IT FOOD! I am done with you people, you just don’t get it…you haven’t stepped in a gym since the Advent of Christ and I’m trying to bust my ass while you insist on shoving horrible food in my face after multiple refusals. You try to pull people like myself, whose second religion is steel plates and healthy foods, down to your pitiful, pathetic, feeble and contemptible level. You have no idea what it takes to embark on my lifestyle…..so sit back and live the “American Dream” with your cakes and pies while positioning your beer on the upper tier of your oversized, gargantuan gut, but don’t impose your sick lifestyle on me or anyone else that has made fitness a way of life. Should I just start carrying my dry plain oatmeal around and shove it down your throat?! The numerous hours I exhaust in the kitchen to prepare my 8 meals for the day isn’t enough for you people to realize that I’m dedicated to what I do, to say the least. The mere fact that you won’t give up pushing these foods is because you envy someone of my devotion and allegiance to the gym, and quite frankly, you couldn’t handle it. You couldn’t handle picking up a weight or stepping on a treadmill or trying to eat right…..you’ll just continue to make excuse after excuse why you don’t have time for the gym or any level of fitness for that matter. I’m 99.9% certain, only because scientific studies are never 100%, that you have enough time to sit your fat ass down on the couch with a bag of fresh potato chips watching episode after episode of reality television. SHOW SOME RESPECT, if you want to live that lifestyle, I couldn’t care less, just don’t try to push your habits on me…that’s when I start taking offense to your putrid, decomposing life. I appreciate your offer, but if I politely say no thanks, then the offer has been declined, get the F**K over it. For anyone who is living this “dream,” I know you think I’m insane, but what I think is insane is you degrading the one body that you were given at birth….if I live a short or long life, it’s going to be one that I can revere.
Thanks for listening, and please comment, regardless if you agree or disagree. There aren’t enough people in this world that speak their minds. Everyone is scared what people will think.
The thing is, we are the minority….the second we step out of the gym….

August 7, 2008 at 6:16 pm
AHAHAHAAH! Yer blog makes me laugh. My wife (FItCentsWife) did a blog along the same lines that’s hilarious. It’s especially annoying if they offer you that crap RIGHT AFTER THEY GIVE YOU A COMPLIMENT ON HOW GREAT YOU LOOK! Sheesh.
August 7, 2008 at 6:20 pm
Too funny! Thanks for not being afraid to express yourself!
August 7, 2008 at 7:41 pm
Please keep writing… you are terrific. Got to make copies of this!
August 7, 2008 at 8:22 pm
Fantastic blog, my man. Well said; and funny as hell.
August 9, 2008 at 3:31 pm
Damn straight…although I miss chocolate, I agree. There are women out there like that too; they complain how they look like crap while they eat crap….hilarious. Keep up the good work.

WOW!, somebody that will speak the unbridled truth for once. I go through the same things as you my friend. If you read my profile and my blog then you know that in Febuary of this year I tipped the scale at 262. I can not believe that I became a statistic. I never thought I would be 42 and obese. I made a decision then and there to change my body, because I am the only who can. I have lost a total of 35 pounds so far and putting on a little muscle as well. I have started a version of the Zone Diet, like you I eat multiple meals through the day. Someone is ALWAYS saying something like, come on, have a bite of this Snickers, you know you want it, and the truth is, I do still want chocolate sometimes. However, I feel that I have come a long way already, and I will be damned if I go back to the way I was. I refuse. I feel like now if I were to have a bowl of ice cream it would be like a slap in my own face for turning my back on all of my progress so far. Nothing is worth that.
Once a month here at my office the company buys a huge cake and has all of the peoples names on it that had birthdays that month. Well, July (my B-Day is the 2nd) came and the cake was delivered. So many people offered me a piece of cake in honor of my birthday, I politely said, no thanks. I said, that cake could never taste as good as thin is going to feel. A couple of people tried to pressure me into having some cake, saying that I was being unsociable and ungrateful. I said, LOOK!, I said that I don’t want the cake, you know that I am on a diet and a workout plan, I have been doing great on it, and even my personal trainer says that he is proud of me……and he doesn’t give compliments very often, so, I took that one to heart.
Well Tony, I say that if we have to rant to get people to listen to us when we say "no thank you", then I say we rant like hell.
I saw your pics, and damn, you have got a kick-ass body. I hope that kind of compliment is okay coming from another man, it wasn’t a "come on" or anything, just a compliment for a job very well done.
Have a great day my friend.
Thanks for sharing.

HAHAHAHA!!! I LOVE IT!!! I’m not exactly mad at the people that offer me food to tease me.. and really, they are becoming fewer and fewer out of the people that I know. As they see how all the hard work in the gym and the kitchen pays off they realize that it is not easy and that it is something I am really working hard for. Once they realize that they stop offering and sometimes ask if they should wait to eat or eat whatever it is they’re feeding on somewhere else. It’s fine with me if they eat something in front of me.. even if it is the most delicious thing in the world and I reallllly want to eat it, because I know.. like you do.. that this pays off and it is all worth while. After being one of those fat people for so long and seeing that it was in the way I was eating I have lost a lot of mercy for people who make excuses to get to the gym. It really does drive me crazy when I KNOW that my friends aren’t doing anything and the only reason they won’t come to the gym with me is because they’re being lazy and making up some stuipd lie to get out of working out. Really now.. how bad is it?! They’ll say.. "Oh but I’ll be the fattest girl in there and they’ll make fun of me"… and in my head I want to just scream at them and say "LOOKIE HERE LADY! I WAS THE FATTEST GIRL AT THE GYM AND I PUT FORTH SOME EFFORT AND LOOKIE LOO!! I CAN SEE MY ABS NOW! NO EXCUSES COOKIE EATER YOU’RE COMING WITH ME!!!!"…. but then I think that would scare them and they would run away and I would have no friends left…. I miss cookies…
Anywho, GREAT RANT!

Thank you for such an honest post. It really pisses me off when my coworkers sit here and complain about how they look while munching on McDonald’s day in and day out. They tease me for ordering salad and grilled chicken at corporate functions, but at least I’m satisfied with health. I think this world needs more people like you who aren’t afraid to speak the truth — and not just in a biased way. It’s true that if the fat people of this world want to destroy their lives, then that’s their perogative. But don’t try and make me feel bad for doing something positive with my life.
Take care and go big!

I’m not trying to be a downer here because I don’t like it when people persist in offering me junk food but maybe they persist in offering it to you because you look like you eat that stuff? How are you so overweight but say you eat completely clean? It’s not necessary to have 50-60 pounds of extra fat to add good quality muscle. Also when you do end the never ending bulk and try to cut up you are going to lose a lot of that muscle in the process. Anyways just speaking my mind/opinions.
On a more positive note you have great mid/lower back and shoulders. You must be dead lifting to get that back

One other thing i just read on your profile that you are currently 14-15% bf. I hate to burst the bubble but you should probably get caliper tested because I was at 13% in my may 25th progress photos and had a six pack. I’m not saying I can guess your current bf from a picture but a realistic guess would be somewhere in the high 25s - low 30s.

You hit it on the head brotha! They don’t even come around or even attempt to ask me at work. They simply say that its part of office etiquite to be at these little lunch functions. I show up answer the questions ask a few of my own all the time sucking down my optimum whey in the shaker bottle. All the while I am looking at their plates adding up the saturated fat andcomplex carb grams quickly guestimateing how many miles on the treadmill or outside running the rolling hills to just work off one sitting of their so called "GOOD" food. I have gone on long enough when you get me started on a rant I could go on for days!! "NORMAL" people just don’t get it. Nor will they until they step into our temple and push those heavy weights defying gravity working toward one goal and one goal only. The picture of the physique we want that’s in our heads that we strive to one day meet that person in the mirroe!

Hilarious man. Welcome to America where you can get ANYTHING fried, even Coca-Cola!

I dropped my bag of chips, I was so offended. Then my ugly little crapdog, I mean, lapdog, slipped on the resulting grease slick, fell off the couch and was lost for 3 hours in the 18 inches of food wrappers that litter my family room floor. When I finally found him, I had chest pains and he was so traumatized that his testicles retreated back into his puny little body. I had to give him a valium and take a smoke break myself.
So you’re gonna get the bill for his veterinary psychologist treatments, I am just warning you. It’s not my fault. It’s never MY fault. It’s yours!
Just wanted to let you know.
;)
(man, you rock. And lexus has a teeny little set of hammies.)

totally understand the perils of travel and work. my favorite default for food when travelling is hooters. i’ve never been to one where they won’t serve a grilled fish or chicken sandwich without the bun and a side salad. just a thought, completely get your rant especially in some parts of the country.

Hey Dude No negative here Just advice from experience. If its quality muscle your looking for take the next 2 years and focus on puting on the muscle mass. Dont put weight on for the sake of being heavy because this will effect your performance when training. Do consume enough calories to promote optimum recovery and enough fat to protect your joints but dont get to heavy were it affects your performance. As far as taking advice from guys like lexus punk he needs some serious off time and needs to take a serious look at his traing method because it is obvious his work ethic is minimum in the off season because what he is left with once he is on stage is nothing to right home about. Keep it real train hard and stay grounded Peace dude
