By the way, I did joined this kind of contest years ago with my co-employees from the company I used to work with. We organized it and put our money where our mouth is. I think it was 500 bucks for each participants. It was awesome. Ya know why? I won back-to-back! Yeah. But the road I took then was different. I dieted strictly of chicken breast and sweet potato. And, workout hard in the gym.This time, still dieted but not strictly. Just ate smaller but yummy meal. The swimming accelerated the whole deal.
It would be amazing if I can still pull it off this time around. Not so much price, really. Just a few thousand bucks and an overnight stay in Bayfront Hotel. Still, the bragging rights is definitely something. One pal of mine whose wife is joining already made some bold predictions. That she'll take home the bacon because she's done it before.. losing a lot of weight.
We'll see brother.
I think I won't be able to join this kind of contest in the future. Being overweight most of the time is really a pain in the arse. Walking up through the stairs is such an ordeal. And, It's nice to see the jeans and the belt loosening up a little bit more everyday. The chin is going single digit, the face is getting smaller, the shirts, looser.
So yeah, I'd like to keep it this way now especially that I'm not getting any younger. It would be difficult to grow old, fat and well, sickly. It's also worth noting that when you are older, it's harder to move around and exercise with such vigor.
My advice to my fellow 40ish guys and gals, get into the groove. Age is just a number. Start now. There's still plenty of time to get cracking!
