I am a Loser

There is a biggest loser contest going on at work. At first I was like "That is BS. It is discrimination against fit people! I am going to HR!" After thinking about it more I figured I have been slacking in my riding and added a couple pounds. I thought I would give it a shot just for fun. The weigh in was yesterday. Since I wanted to give myself an advantage, and the weigh in was between 10 and 12, I waited until after lunch to weigh in.

I also decided to go to Chipotle and get a huge burrito for lunch. I figured that might not be enough so I drank 2 large cups of water with it.

When i got back to work I thought I had a little more room in me so I drank 4 cups of chocolate milk. You would be surprised how much chocolate milk weighs, it is heavy. I also managed to get down a piece of zucchini bread, you know, the really dense kind. I tried for 2 pieces but could only do 1 1/2.

When I got to the nurses office there were a couple guys in front of me so I had time to drink 5 cups a water. After that I was done. It actually kind of hurt. It even hurt to bend over to tie my shoes. I could feel the pressure pushing on my belly from the inside. It was worth it though. The official weight from my efforts... 211.6lbs.

That was yesterday at noon. This morning i got to work and weighed myself right away. I hadn't had breakfast yet or drank anything, plus I rode Mr. X to work so I sweated a bit on the way in. I think it would be safe to say I am leading the contest as of now. I was down... wait for it... 7 lbs.

That's right, I lost 7 lbs in about 15hrs.

Game on.

Way to start by swaying the odds to favor you. Cheating at Biggest Loser... I think that right there qualifies you as a loser. Maybe you can write an awe-inspiring book and sell millions of copies.

Dude - this is one of the funniest damn stories I have ever read. My wife said something to the tune of "if a woman did this she'd be spending $325 on the LA diet, plus a personal trainer and six months just to get the 7 pounds off". You are truly one gifted individual.
