Engine 2 Diet - The Start

So let's lay it out. I'm a 6'2" 30 years old man that weighs 243 lb. and has a cholesterol of 252. YIKES!

In 2005, I weighed 194 lb. and was in pretty good shape until I tore my ACL. It only took me a year to gain almost 60 lbs where I peaked at 251 lb. This was done via a steady diet of damn good tasting food and even better wine.... lots of wine... and more food. I had fun consuming all of these wonderful things, but in the end, I had to keep buying new clothes to feel comfortable.

Goal: Get back to a size 34 jean. Weigh between 200 to 210 (Loomi doesn't me any skinnier). Get my cholesterol below 200 and I want to do all of this by my wedding in October.

Now don't get me wrong. I love meat and animal products. I will not cease to consume them in my life. However, what I do need is a quick flush of the system which probably has been overloaded for years.

Solution:

1. Buy the book
2. Read the book
3. Weight yourself and get your Cholesterol measured
4. Dump most of the nasty old food in the house
5. Make a trip to Trader Joe's and Whole Foods to stock up on all the necessary goods. 
6. Start a blog to track all of this
7. Commit, Commit, Commit

I look forwarding to sharing the next couple of weeks of my little adventure, during the holidays, before people start making their resolutions.

P.S. I was going to challenge the Kung Fu Panda to a little bet, but I think I'm already losing this one. He's already lost 15 lb. and I hope he comes back ready to help the Giants repeat! I'll try to provide some updates on how he's doing as I find the info. Cheers!
