My buddy and I on Tuesday, March 17th, at the Nathan Hale Inn True Blue Tavern decided to enter into a bet of $100 to lose 50 pounds or more by Labor Day 2009. If neither one of us loses 50 pounds, then the bet is off. If only one of us loses 50 pounds, that person is the winner. If both lose 50 pounds, then the person that loses the most is the winner.
The plan is to begin the challenge on Saturday, March 21. We will weigh ourselves on every Saturday and make the weight available for tracking purposes.
Drew's plan for the challenge is to become a vegetarian and retain his alcoholic behaviors. Just kidding, he does not have any alcoholic behaviors...
I will become sober-ish. No more than three drinks a month with the goal of minimizing alcohol consumption to 0 drinks per month. I will also become sober-ish from Taco Bell. No more than two trips (including the Taco Bell in the Union) a month to Taco Bell with a caloric maximum of 840 per trip (approximately 2 beef baja chalupas, no side taco, no soda). I will abstain completely from pizza unless it is the only food option available since not eating is more detrimental than eating small portions of pizza. I will drink no more than 30 ounces of soda per week with the goal of turning to low calorie options or complete abstenance of soda.
On the flip side, I pledge to exercise regularly. My life style will evolve to require more walking/less driving, less television/movie time, more studying, less idle free time, and more hobby time.
Although I already weigh less than my competitor who believes that he will lose more since he weighs more, I am confident that I will win the bet.
Thus, on the great day of Wednesday, March 18th in the Blessed Year of our Lord 2009, I formally submit to the Great Fat Off of 2009.
Until Saturday for the first official update.
Aaron
