HELP!

So, I need to lose my love handles...and my spare tire....and any other body fat that has accumulated on my torso and chest area.

Here's the urgency: My 15 year class reunion is coming up at the end of July.

Here's where the flabby flab came from: I quite smoking and packed on pounds...roughly 50 pounds in less than a year! The wife says she'd rather have a chubby hubby than a skinny hubby that smells like smoke. I guess I can't argue.

I went from 181 up to 225!

Ok, so, I've been exercising for like a month and a half now....running on the treadmill, stationary bike, elliptical glider, stair master then the treadmill. I recently (just this week) added in 5 more minutes of running on the treadmill in between each different exercise. That gives me a total of 2 miles running (10 minutes to start, then 5 intervals of 5 min = 20 minutes total), 20 minutes on the bike, 20 minutes on the glider and 10 minutes on the stair stepper. Then, I go sit in the sauna for 20 minutes.

That seems to work pretty well-I've managed to lose about 20 lbs already-I'm down to between 202 and 205-all of which I did the first 3-4 weeks. Now I'm stuck. I can't get below the 200 lb mark and am getting flustered. My main problem is my dieting habits: I don't eat breakfast (except for coffee), then I have fruit for lunch (sugar free, low calorie peaches usually with an apple or banana), then I eat what ever for supper. After my morning coffee, I drink water all day long until I get home. My biggest weakness comes in the form of my appetite.....man do I love to eat cake, cookies....all of the high carb, high fat, high sugar stuff that just sits in the belly....and grows.

So, any suggestions? I know I need to change my dieting habits at night...but does anyone have any miracle exercises or helpful hints to help me lose my love handles?

Pats or the Giants?

Obviously, I'm going with the Pats and hoping for an extreme blowout!

7-0

That's the New England Patriots record.....just in case you didn't know.

There's a lot of talk about them going undefeated. As much as I love the Pats, I don't think it'll happen...simply to hard to go an entire season undefeated. They'll win the super bowl though. I just hope that when they do lose, it's to the Bills or some other "off the wall" team (sorry Buffalo), not to a team like the Colts.....stinky Peyton.....

Any one else think they'll go the distance?

Human Weapon

Anyone follow or ever catch the show "Human Weapon" on the History channel? These 2 guys travel around learning different fighting styles then are "put to the test" usually against a champ of some sort. It's actually quite educational, as they not only break down step by step and explain each move they learn, but they also explain how the name of the "art" came about, how it survived history, how it's been used/changed throughout the years etc. etc.

I now DVR it and watch it with my son. Then I beat the crap out of him. Ya....good times!

Hiya everyone!

Any one miss me? Hellllloooooooo.......?

Sorry it's taken me so long to post over here-been overwhelmed with work and sons soccer and daughters dance and the wife's nagging about here "honey-do-list"..... kidding of course! It's nice to watch this site grow! I can't wait to see where it is in a year!
