Rubes' Weight Loss Challenge

Hey dudes and chicks... ladies and gentlemen... I'm Rubes McGee, your MC for the night. Okay, no rambling on this post, I'm cutting right to the chase on this one. This post is a more serious one, you see i lost A LOT of weight this past school year.... 35 pounds, to be exact. Yes, I am very proud, but I started gaining some back this summer, so I'm not fucking around anymore. Tomorrow I'm gonna start waking up early and go running. I'm gonna do that everyday for the rest of the summer, and I'm gonna carry it over into the school year as well. I have a goal to reach by the end of the semester, and that's to get 6 pack abs and/or weigh 160 pounds or less. I currently weigh 177.6 pounds. I'm gonna be working out every day in some shape or form, and I'll be eating healthy, no exceptions. It seems like a lot, but I know from experience that I can pull it off. There will be no day that I will not do some form of exercise, no matter what I'm doing or have planned. This is basically what I did last November and I lost 20 pounds in 5 weeks. Only this time I'm gonna make it more intense. I let up on myself the second semester and still lost another 15 pounds over a course of 3 months, but I know I can do way better than that, and if I stuck with the same level of intensity that I first had or made it harder like I'm doing now, I would have achieved my goal months ago. I'm posting this as motivation for myself to stick with it and not let up at all, and if anything make it harder and more rigorous in the coming weeks. Also I'm dedicating a whole post to this because I know if I don't stick with it I'll look like a complete ass to all my blog readers... yup.. all 5 of them =P. Lol, I really hope more than 5 people read my blog =(. But anyways, I'm not drinking anything but water for the rest of the year, and maybe beyond. I'm gonna research what healthy, low calorie/carb foods to eat that are good for people who work out on a daily basis. You see, a few years ago, back when I was on the football team, I was in tip top shape, I had a 6 pack, but I only weighed 135 pounds. But by this time of the year in 2008 I weighed a whopping 206 - BIG difference, huh? (Pun intended) Then in April I was down to 170, my lowest weight in years, only 10 pounds away from my goal weight. This summer, however, I must admit I have been slacking big time... I've been doing no exercise, except for some sporadic half ass attempts to get in shape. And I've been eating anything I want, also. So no more funny business, homie... I'm starting my new exercise/fitness program tomorrow, and I'm not letting up until I reach my goal weight. So no more fattening snacks, no more ice cream, cookies, chocolate, all that shit is out the window. I have an app on my iPhone that counts calories and give you a calorie budget, so I plan to not exceed my calorie budget, ever. I'm gonna make a workout playlist on my iPhone again too, with a whole bunch of kickass songs, haha. So let's recap all my goals, plans and deadlines that I made for myself:

- Weigh 160 or less by December 19, 2009 (End of the Fall '09 Semester)
- Get a 6 pack
- Go running at least once every day
- Lift weights at least once every other day (with enough time for specific muscles to heal)
- Eat Healthy, never exceed calorie budget
- Drink only water

So that's my plan, and with Blog as my witness I'm gonna stick to it and achieve my goal. I'm gonna peace the fuck out now then, considering I'm gonna go running really early tomorrow. Later guys, I'll be posting my new 6 pack pic in a few months =).
