When I walk into the Gym and see the Instructors, I feel compelled to confess. Seriously it is like going to a confessional for me.
Bless me Gym Rat for am Fat.
It has been 2 weeks since my last workout.
I lusted for the Super China Buffet 3 times.
I lied about how many times I went to McDonald's to my wife.
I super sized each time.
I idolized a beautiful Porter House at the Stater Bros. Meat counter.
I ate two twinkies out of the box while walking to the checkout stand. (But I was walking at the same time!)
I only drank 32 oz's of water a day...and had 32 oz's of coffee...
I did not "Go Skinny" on my Caramel Macchiato
I added too much dressing to my salad...and I added fritos as croutons.
For my cheese serving I at a snack pack of Cheezits...okay okay...I ate the whole box.
I used Peanut M&M's as my "Protein" snack
When I was supposed to do 15 reps on the chest press I only did 13...okay okay...12.
I picked the parkins spot closest to the gym so I did not have to walk as far.
Father Gym Rat...that is all my sin.
"Go on my fat one...and do 200 Sit ups and Crunches...you shall be forgiven"

DAY ONE...I am moving my office to the bathroom....
It seems like it took forever for this day to come. Well in a way it did...it took 34 years!
The Doc has me off the Byetta until my Gall Bladder removal. So I don't have the full feeling that it gave me. And boy can I tell. I ate breakfast at 7am, a shake and a cereal packet. 2 hours on the nose, I was hungry. I had one of the program snack bars. 2 hours later, I was VERY hungry, but it was lunch time. Beef and Bean Enchiladas...it was not El Torito but it was good. Had a shake 2 hours later and that was good. I mixed in coffee with the vanilla powder. It was like a 'nilla frapuccino. But it is 3 and I am very hungry and out of food. Hmmm....going to the gym too. It may be 4 hours before I can eat again. I don't think that is a good thing.
3:25 - I found a sample of the soup meal replacement in my brief case. Thank you God! I think I will survive now.
Holy cow does this plan make me pee! Easily I have made at least 15 trips if not 20. Man o man! Of course I am also on track to drink 94 fluid ounces of water. My dietician says that the body will eliminate excess water that it is holding because we are cutting the sodium. So the first weigh in could be HUGE...mostly water weight.
Since my initial weigh in with the Doctor in January, I have lost 11 pounds. At the end of 15 hours on this plan, I have lost nothing. I am giving up!!!
Nah, just kidding.

Oh Boy!!
I found out that I have MULTIPLE gall stones. MULTIPLE! So I will soon be going under the knife and have my gall Bladder removed. I pray that they find the part of me that craves food and cut that out too!
Apparently Gall Bladders are not that necessary. Interesting, I had no idea. I guess it will be a Laproscopic surgery as it was for Julie. But still, it wigs me out a bit.
Truly, being Fat is one medical complication after another. It really is a problem in this society...in this age. Not that I want laws and "fat" taxes, I still believe in freedom and personal choice. It really is too sad that healthy foods cost SO much more than mass produced, processed foods.
Well enough of that. I am off to sit on the couch and play Wii. The wife and I are going out for a late night date to have one last meal "send off"

Bleh....
So tonight is the big night. I pick up my food and start the program. It's very exciting.
But today, I had a TK Burger. TK's is a place in Costa Mesa that is incredible for their burgers. Took one down along with the standard accoutrement. (Fries and a Root Beer)
I left feeling totally gross. It tasted good, don't get me wrong. But I felt gross. Now I am at my desk with a brick in my stomach. No good...no good I tell you. But how many times have I done this to myself? Too many times to count. Too Too Too Too many.
I pray that I remember this icky feeling.

Today
Nothing to report today. 24 hours left until the weigh in and program start. I had a yummy dinner from Blue Agave Yorba Linda. And I am tired. I will have more to say tomorrow.

The Battle Plan
Okay. So here is the plan.
The goal is to beat the diabetes and get off the meds. So my Endocrinologist who is one the premiere specialists in the country is helping me do this with a 3 pronged attack.
1. 1000 mg of Metformin, Twice Daily
2. Two shots a day of Byetta. Whose biggest side effect is Weight Loss.
3. HMR Medically managed weight loss program. 3 shakes and 2 packaged entres.
So with this, I should be on a strong trajectory to lose 80 lbs, and be off the medicines! This will be good.
This will be hard.

It Has Been Clinically Proven
Got a call from the Dr. today. It turns out that I have fat deposits in my liver. Not an entirely serious condition, in fact very common for overweight folks.
I responded "Oh well, I guess it's true then!"
"What's that?" she asked.
"I am fat. The jury was out on the matter but now that it is clinically proven...there is just no denying it."
She laughed and said "That's one way of looking at it."
She also shared that I have SEVERAL gall stones and that I had to see my General Practitioner for a referral for surgery. Well, he called today and wants me to go under the knire ASAP.
SOOOO....I will be having my first surgery ever. This will be fun! I hope they keep the stones, I want to see them! Is that bad?
