Those of you who know me know that I need to lose weight, a lot of it. So this past weekend I started a new weight loss program, the Extreme Regime. It’s designed to burn fat and detox the body and help you lose weight quickly. Well, maybe not quickly, but lose it nonetheless. I am currently weighing in at a hefty 245 pounds, and my goal with this regime is to get myself down below 200 by the end of the year.

I’ll keep you update to date here, but will share most of my progress and research on my new blog, Down to 200. I am sure that I will start to lose some of the excess baggage, but more importantly I am going to learn how to eat better and maintain that weight. This will be some time in the works of course, but if it works for me, I’ll put you all in touch with the wonderful Dr. Heidi who can help you as well! I’ll start this off with my before picture – and no, I am not showing my hideous overgrown belly. Enjoy.

Well, as you can see, I work way too hard during the day that when I finally get some time to spend with Allyssa, we usually nap together. This was how we spent our quality time on Monday, and I’ve been so busy since then I just finally took the time to post the photo.

For those of you that do not know, I am working on a social networking web site for network marketers, you know, those people that first sell you something then want you to join them in the business? Well, I found a business that I like and is going to help me get healthy so I can spend more time with my family. I have been taking the whole food supplement known as The Pops since April and it is really starting to make a difference in my life. But I shall spare you the details here for now – take a look at my Healthy Dad web site for all of those details. I’ll just share that since taking The Pops, I have more energy during the day and sleep better at night. Want proof? Look at the picture above.

Ok, you’ve seen another picture, now it’s time for me to get back to work.

For those of you who watch what you eat, here’s the final word on nutrition and health. It’s a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting nutritional studies.

1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
3. The Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
4. The Italians drink a lot of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
5. The Germans drink a lot of beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

CONCLUSION

Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you.
