2009 Fat Off

crossfit.com

Mr. Ovis,
I just spent the last hour at crossfit.com, looking at and studying the regimen.
It does appear to be a simple system(not easy) for someone living in one place.
Perhaps even someone who travels now and then.
My problem is I have been out of the country 3 times in the last year, worked in 7 states this last year, and traveled cross country 6 times in the last month.
With simple resistance bands I can simulate every exercise in P90X and the bands fit in my carry-on. So far it is the best fit I have found for me, even if T.H. looks, acts and probably is gay!
By the way, you weigh 160lbs...
you don't need to work out, you need more pasta!
 
Most my excess weight is danglin' fury and I don't really want to lose any of that. I'm hoping to prove to myself that I dont' have to train at all to finish a half-marathon when I know there's free beer at the finish line. I've jogged 9 total miles since August.
 
Top ten worst foods of 2009
by FatFighterTV

1. Pepperidge Farm Roasted White Meat Chicken Premium Pot Pie - There are 510 calories and 9 grams of saturated fat in this baby. Oh wait - that’s just for half a pie. The whole thing has 1020 calories and 18 grams of saturated fat.

2. Romano’s Macaroni Grill Spaghetti and Meatballs with Meat Sauce - This dish will set you back a staggering 2,430 calories and nearly three days’ worth of saturated fat (57 grams) plus 5,290 milligrams of sodium - more calories and saturated fat than two Macaroni Grill Tuscan Rib-Eye steak dinners.

3. Progresso Traditional, Vegetable Classics, and Rich & Hearty soups - Half a can averages more than half of a person’s daily quota of salt. Instead, CSPI says try Progresso’s Health Favorites reduced-sodium soups with up to 50 percent less salt. Also, see: Hidden sodium in foods you wouldn't think to check.

4. Dove Ice Cream - A half cup has about 300 calories and an average of 11 grams of saturated fat - that’s half-a-day’s worth of the bad stuff. You may be better off with these 5 frozen treats under 100 calories.

5. The Cheesecake Factory Chris’ Outrageous Chocolate Cake - It’s layers of chocolate cake, brownie, toasted coconut pecan filling, and chocolate chip coconut cheesecake. CSPI found each five-inch-high slice weighs three-fourths of a pound and has 1,380 calories, 32 teaspoons of sugar, 33 grams of saturated fat and 5 grams of trans fat. Yikes!

6. Smoothie King’s Grape Expectations II - It’s one of Smoothie King’s “Snack Rights” with 550 calories in the 20-ounce size and 1,100 calories in the 40-ouncer. Proof that not all smoothies are good for you (but these are).

7. Pop Secret Movie Theater Butter Popcorn Snack Size Bags - Just one snack-size bag has 11 grams of bad fat, 7 of which are trans fats. Instead, CSPI says choose Orville Redenbacher’s Smart Pop or Smart Balance Smart ’N Healthy - both are made with no partially hydrogenated oils. Also, see this review of microwave popcorns from Consumer Reports.

8. The Starbucks Venti (20 oz.) Caffè Mocha with whole milk and whipped cream has 450 calories and 13 grams of bad fat - more like a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in a cup. But you can lose all the bad fat and all but 170 calories if you order a tall (12 oz.) with nonfat milk and no whipped cream.

9. Chipotle Chicken Burrito - With rice, pinto beans, cheese, chicken, sour cream, and salsa, you get 1,040 calories and 16-1/2 grams of saturated fat - the same as three Subway Steak and Cheese 6-inch Subs. Plus the burrito comes with 2,500 milligrams of sodium! Ordering it without cheese or sour cream cuts the saturated fat to 3-1/2 grams, but you still end up with 810 calories and 2,300 milligrams of sodium. Ay Caramba! Here's another burrito that will shock you.

10. Cold Stone Creamery’s Gotta Have It Founder’s Favorite - 12-ounces of ice cream, pecans, brownie pieces, fudge, and caramel adds up to a whopping 1,600 calories and 42 grams of saturated fat. That’s about the same as five single-scoop ice cream cones. And watch out before you have this frozen concoction.

Any surprises? And tell me… have you had any of these

Seriously?... Chipolte Chicken Burrito is a great meal - relatively lean and high in fiber. What these idiots meant is that cheese & sour cream aren't good for you. Washing it down with a couple of Pacifico's ain't that good for you either. :D
 
Yeah, Ovis, I'm a repeat offender! ;) And yes CF will kick your arse! Fight Gone Bad had me nearly bed ridden the next day...

281 lbs, 6'4" tall, not gay

My p90x got lost with the rest of my luggage coming home this week. Maybe I should take Ovis' advice and try CF?
Oh yeah, not gay!:D
