Fitness: You Know You're A Fat Guy...
Posted January 7, 2007 1:34 PM
You know you're officially a fat guy when...
- you break a sweat putting on a pair of socks.
- you can't seem to groom your tool without first lifting up your tool shed.
- Walking up the two steps getting on and off the escalator completely exhaust you.
- You go over a bump while driving in your car and your man boobs jiggle.
I can go on and on with these. I bring this up because something recently came to my attention after meeting a friend I hadn't seen in about five years. We were having dinner and he said, "Buddy, you look a little different to me. Are you feeling well?" Confused because I felt fine, I said, "I feel great. Why?" He continued with, "Well I see a what looks like a big lump that's under your chin and it just seems enormous to me. Will you please have it checked out?" I took a deep breath and said, unfortunately out loud, "That's my chin, dumb ass." The only thing this poor guy could manage to say was, "Oh, my bad." He wasn't trying to be mean or even make a point. He was shocked at how after a few years I'd put on so much weight.

I'd love to tell you I've gotten it all off, but that would be a lie. I have lost some of it to be sure. I can get into my specific routine, but I'll do that at a later time. As of now I've taken off about fifteen big pounds with mostly diet and exercise, but I have found that a key for me is being able to measure my body fat and for that we recommend this groovy Omron Fat Loss Monitor Omron Fat Loss Monitor to properly measure you body fat. I also find it super important to weigh in every single day to know exactly where I stand. For that give the Tanita Duo Scale a shot. It measures both body fat, body water and can accurately tell you how many calories you should consume in a day. I think having both devices are great as you can take the Omron with you when you travel. Take off the weight, my friends...it is a new year after all.
