I'll tell you that Arthur Boorman weight-loss and "I can walk again!" video is life-affirming and made me favorably disposed to Diamond Dallas Page, even though he seems to be a bit of a meathead. I'm going to give DDP Yoga a whirl.

I think I still have an old Playboy Celebrity Wives issue w/ DDP's ex(?) wife in it. Bitch was smoking hot in the Nitro days. That was a good time for me. I also dumb lucked into purchasing a SWANK magazine with Beulah McGillicutty in it (now Mrs Tommy Dreamer).

Kim Page

DDP was one of the most annoying wrestlers of his time and I would automatically turn it off if he appeared. Not much of a wrestling fan anyway, but DDP totally rubbed me the wrong way. Obviously that was largely a character. His yoga and USO persona is pretty likeable, actually.

Anyway, I gave the guy my hundred bucks and intend to spend some mornings doing yoga with Diamond Dallas Page. Will report on the results but I don't expect much more than general well-being and some weight loss in the 10-20 lbs range. If I lost 140 lbs like that Arthur Boorman on YouTube I'd be less than 50 lbs. On six foot one that's not a good look. I'd have to send DDP a sternly worded letter in that case.

Yep, yoga isn't some weight loss miracle; however, if it's fun for you, it motivates you with working out in general so you can keep up your interest in your more strenuous areas of training.

Alex, have you considered doing a Russian Bulimic diet? Eat what you want everyday, then drink vodka till you puke?

Yes, I will, as soon as I will have more free time. Too much things on my hands now. Maybe 1-3 more weeks and I will go to Ballys.

Don't you think that Arthur Boorman lost his weight not by accident/chance but with the means of paid motivation? I mean, you are a fairly smart person, but sometimes you say these things that make me wonder about how can you fall for such cliche marketing gimmick.

Two days ago I spent all day coughing up shit out of my lungs. Be the end of the day my chest felt like a marching band had been practicing on it. Yesterday my sinuses and eyes were like Victoria Falls. My eyes watered for at least seven hours straight and I was having to blow my nose literally every minute of the day. I've came down with countless colds in my life and every single one always has the same pattern. First day to day and a half is the incredibly sore throat stage. Then comes a day or two of sinuses draining and blowing my nose stage. Followed by another day or two of regular coughing up green crap from my lungs and ending in occasionally coughing up more green crap for about another three weeks. This time there was no sore throat whatsoever whatever it is skipped straight to coughing up shit and then backtracked to Class V rapids out of my nose. No fever, no loss of appetite, no real loss of energy other than chest soreness from coughing so damn much. This is still some kind of cold right?

He chased, contracted and now cries about it. Pathetic.

Sounds like bronchitis from infected sinuses......or worse. Get some mucinex and take some antibiotics. A hot toddy wouldn't hurt.

Gia what is your opinion on that Mio water enhancer shit? I don't understand how something that makes my water sweet and tasty can have zero everything when it comes to nutrional content. I've switched to nothing but water for drinks, but wanted some flavor without the negative effects. Online reports seem conflicted. Some people say it's bad, some say it's harmless, and some say that regardless, it's a hundred times better than soda and whatnot.

Mio syrup sucks. I bought it and poured it into the sink.

Never heard of it, but if you hate water so much you need a mixer, make sure it's one with the least amount of additives. And no sugar. And just mix a small amount into your water instead of the entire sleeve.

Alex, you're supposed to put in your water.

I pack around a gallon water jug with a big block of ice and a citrus fruit wedge. Lemon, lime, orange...rotate when you get bored with the flavor.

Nestle makes some flavoured bottle waters. I think they come in 6 packs and they are more than regular bottled water. There's a few flavours. I've only had the lemon, but they might be good to buy once in awhile for a change of pace.

Flavored water is crap. I only suggested mixing in part of a packet sometimes if you really need to. But seriously, the best way to start liking water is to drink it with all your meals. You'll see how much you actually just need water when you're thirsty.

The best way to start really liking water is to start sweating.

That also. I was just trying to get the basics out for the ppl who aren't used to eating right or moving around yet.

As if anorexics generally know shit about eating right.

Really? It has sucralose, natural flavor, and some other bullshit in it and the nutrional content is zero's across the board. It's not that I hate water, it's that I really, really enjoy sweet ice tea. I figured the mio sweet tea flavor would be the perfect catalyst to converting to water, but I'm not sure if it's what I need to drop the weight.

Drink unsweetened ice tea and put fruit in it.

If I'm gonna eat, I'm gonna do it right.

That doesn't work out on its own hydration-wise with tea's diuretic properties. Unless you want to get headaches and feel miserable.

As a healthier alternative to sweet tea? It does. I still suggest drinking water as your sole or major liquid intake.

On its own - exclusively. Tea doesn't really count as liquid intake. And healthier: Sweetening tea with agave sirup or something similar can help the sugar addict to convert.

Don't ever buy ice tea and Skittles at the same time.

Well it's seems to be working so far. With watching calories, walking 20 minutes, light weights, no more sweet tea, and no more waking up in the middle of the night and scarfing down a Little Debbie in a Diphenhydramine haze, I've managed to drop three pounds in one week. I really don't get the counting calories thing. My girl's RDI is like 1400 and mine is fucking 2000. There's no way I can hit that eating healthier. Fuck, I mean, I used to do about 2000 by skipping breakfast and lunch then gorging on dinner and busting out snacks throughout the night. Now, with the healthier eats, I'd have to eat like three fucking pounds of broccoli to meet that RDI. It doesn't make sense to feel full, look at my RDI, then be like, "Oh I need 600 more calories, better stuff the shit out of myself!!" My plan is to drink the water, do the exercises, and eat three squares that aren't too offending. Oatmeal and a bannana for breakfast, a low portion bullshit microwave meal for lunch, then a normal dinner with more veggies then carbs. Fuck this 2000 calorie shit, I've dropped three pounds not meeting my RDI, so I'm going to keep going with what works.

Except on my birthday on the 27th. I'm eating a huge barbeque pork steak and a half-pound gourmet cupcake. I can cheat for one day, goddamit.

Calories count but don't count calories, the saying goes. Glad the pounds are getting lost.

Dropped six pounds so far. Still overweight, but I'm getting there.

Pics or it did not happened.

I'll post pics about eight months from now. Unlike you, I'm not into embarrasing myself on the net.

I'm down 20lbs. since October 15th.

I just ate 4 hot pockets and took a big dump.

Congrats, Steeze. That's awesome.

Just came back from a 6 mile walk.

And to think, all he had to do was drop beer for Vodka!

I began going to the gym yesterday. 1 hour on the ski cycle machines. about 700 calories. And today I also went in the morning, but then I went to McDee's for breakfast: 1 breakfast burrito and 3 chocolate chip cookies.

Good job Walsingham. Did you ever buy the pedometer just to see how much you walk during the day?

I think I bought one already a year or so ago on the eBay. Will it blink or make sounds near the underage ones?

It's like a rape whistle for curious potential victims.

I know a former failed porn performer's ex-spouse who is into that sort of thing and is in fact on a special registry for life. You may want to ask them.

Do you like using anything besides the ski machine?

Is it Skeeter?

Feet hurt pretty bad [muscle soreness] so I will lay on the bed whole day.

Shoulda tried to get an endorsement deal from a weight loss company. Are you posting pics of your meals on TheShitIEat?

I don't want to be famous, just rich. I post like random food pics that I have in my food folder. I woke up early today because of the interview appointment and had less than 5 hours of sleep, so I did not update any blogs today; I pretty much ate food, wanked-off and now play Counter Strike until I will not be able to keep my eyes open. I did got the Greedy Jew business cards yesterday.

you should slap a trademark on the tuna cole slaw taco before it's too late.

By the way, I ain't endorsing jack-shit: I am not using any pills or supplements. My strategy is simple: 3 days gyms and 1 day no gym, with 1 hours and 800 calories on the skis [cross trainer machine (elliptical)] and eat whatever I usually eat without any restriction. I just gotta lose 1 pound every week.
