welcome everyone adam the woo here
0:03
100 days ago
0:06
i mentioned on video for posterity for
0:10
documentation and just to keep myself
0:15
by putting it out into the into the
0:18
universe
0:19
so i would have something to look back
0:20
on and forward
0:22
100 days started at a 50 day
0:27
not necessarily the word challenge but
0:29
started at a 50-day
0:30
project and has stretched forward to
0:34
twice that into well over
0:38
three months 282
0:42
point zero was the weight
0:45
back then and i'm now going to step on
0:48
the scale again and just see
0:50
what has happened over that ten year of
0:52
time
0:54
i'm inviting you to join me as i step on
0:57
the scale
0:59
shall you when i started this i
1:01
purchased the scale
1:03
the day of the first weigh-in
1:06
bought it at target it's the balance
1:08
brand
1:09
it has the lcd display up towards the
1:13
top here
1:14
when i step on the only difference is i
1:16
am holding the camera
1:17
wearing a t-shirt wearing socks just
1:19
like i was on day one the only
1:22
difference
1:23
is that i have shorts on now so that
1:25
might make you know about a half an
1:27
ounce
1:28
maybe a half a pound i should say
1:31
difference or maybe even a pound but not
1:34
not too much because i had i have shorts
1:36
where i had long pants on
1:38
on the first weigh-in so we were at
1:41
282.0
1:42
the first time and let's just give it
1:45
the first
1:48
run down here
1:57
230.6
1:57
okay 230.6 i always like to give it
2:02
give it three tries just want to get the
2:04
best two out of three the scale
2:06
sometimes could be
2:08
a little wacky
2:15
i think that might be it now i'll step
2:17
on with the the opposite foot
2:20
just to see if there's any difference
2:21
which there won't be
2:23
but just to make sure 230.6
2:30
that's it it's that close to
2:33
just shy of 50 pounds maybe a pound away
2:36
from 50 pounds
2:38
give or take no i stand completely
2:42
corrected it is over 50 pounds 282.0
2:47
minus 230.6
2:51
is over 50 pounds by almost two pounds
2:54
over
3:00
51.4 i'll get
3:00
i'll get the calculator out but off the
3:02
top of my head that's
3:04
what i'm going for you can see there
3:05
were some days i did not weigh myself
3:08
skipped entire segments of documentation
3:11
but i did have this
3:13
next to my refrigerator once again for
3:17
accountability started back on june 24th
3:20
day one 282 and you can see the first
3:24
week is very easy to drop water weight
3:29
and when you're kind of doing things the
3:31
the progress that i was doing
3:34
you can really the pounds seem to just
3:36
kind of fall off it's not easy it is a
3:38
difficult task to
3:40
to watch what you eat count calories and
3:43
be weary and be wary i should say of
3:48
of what you're consuming day 50
3:52
i did an update and i was at 247.1
3:56
so i had already i had already lost 35
4:00
pounds in the first 50 days i lost 35
4:05
pounds
4:06
and in the second half of this tenure i
4:09
lost
4:10
another 16 and a half pounds
4:14
so twice as difficult even though i was
4:16
kind of
4:18
kind of basically eating the same amount
4:20
of calories
4:21
skipping the same amount of meals
4:25
you can't you hit a plateau but i broke
4:28
through the plateau and accomplished it
4:32
down to 230.6 now you'll see five days
4:36
ago i weighed in at 231.9 i only lost
4:40
1.3 pounds in five days
4:45
so the less you start to the less you
4:47
start to weigh
4:48
the harder it is to drop more pounds so
4:51
the heavier
4:52
heavier you are according to this
4:56
you can you can really drop you know 5
4:58
10 15 pounds
4:59
even in that first week
5:07
feeling pretty good heck yeah
5:07
now i must also clarify that i did not
5:10
reach my goal my goal was not
5:14
accomplished i stated i would be at 2
5:17
20. i failed at that
5:20
but in my experience what works for me
5:23
is to always go for a little further
5:26
than what you think might be possible
5:29
you know if i would have said i'm going
5:31
to lose 10 pounds
5:33
in this time period i may have only lost
5:36
eight if i said i was going to lose 30 i
5:37
might have only lost 22.
5:41
coughing played a big part in curbing my
5:44
appetite
5:50
yes it would have been nice to hit 220
5:50
but 230
5:52
51 plus pounds
5:55
it's nothing to sneeze at
6:04
kind of spilling over the side there the
6:04
coffee is very excited
6:24
that's what my stomach was sounding like
6:24
on a lot of days right there
6:26
my stomach sounded like that many times
6:29
cheers how was this accomplished
6:33
you might ask how did half
6:36
of 100 pounds drop off my torso
6:47
that's warm how did i stay the course
6:47
how did i resist temptation
6:50
it's all in my mind you have to you have
6:52
to want it
6:54
and by meaning that over the years
6:57
i've always had family friends
7:00
acquaintances
7:02
colleagues those who you meet on the
7:05
street those who leave
7:06
comments social media
7:09
doing they are going to lose weight and
7:12
you know
7:13
you may have experienced this where
7:16
others
7:17
will ask you to join into their weight
7:20
loss challenge
7:21
and sometimes i would try it and fail
7:23
after a day or two because
7:25
i didn't truly want that to happen i
7:27
wasn't ready
7:28
that's more appropriate where you have
7:30
to be ready for it
7:32
and this time i was ready it was
7:37
it was affecting my health the way i
7:40
felt
7:41
with acid reflux heartburn every night
7:45
when i would lay down to to sleep and
7:48
slumber
7:49
feeling feeling the food that you would
7:52
consume
7:53
throughout the day and large portions
8:00
would come back to haunt you since it is
8:00
halloween time 2020 that's a kind of a
8:02
good little tie-in
8:04
the food would haunt you and i just got
8:08
i got tired of that i needed i needed
8:10
that to change
8:16
so that's what that's what kicked off
8:16
this this thought process
8:18
now the first half i was in florida for
8:21
the re-grand opening of walt disney
8:24
world i'm gonna
8:25
i do not want to spill this coffee i'm
8:27
gonna try to shift hands do not
8:30
spill hot coffee on my lap
8:35
it was difficult at walt disney world
8:37
back then this is you know
8:38
100 days ago when i was starting this
8:40
the first couple weeks
8:42
to not have treats not have churros i
8:44
did have a dole whip or two
8:47
but inside the parks magic kingdom epcot
8:50
hollywood studios animal kingdom i never
8:52
ate a meal
8:53
inside the park or really any snacks i
8:55
did have one or two things at the resort
8:58
hence the dole whip on one or two
9:00
occasions
9:01
and then at the end of the evening i
9:03
would not eat all day
9:05
skipping meals a lot of skipping meals
9:08
which
9:09
you know the first few weeks is very
9:10
difficult but your body gets used to
9:12
that
9:13
eating is a huge habit
9:17
and if you can break that habit and it
9:19
is there's a clever saying you don't
9:22
i'm gonna i'm gonna mess this up because
9:24
i haven't even used this saying
9:26
but i remember is something that my mom
9:28
told me
9:30
many moons ago to use another one of her
9:32
expressions
9:38
you eat to live not
9:38
live to eat and i never even i didn't i
9:42
didn't even i didn't even go back into
9:43
my consciousness until just now but
9:45
that's that's also a good little
9:47
little terminology
9:50
but the habit the habit aspect is really
9:52
uh i'm just really this this
9:54
this coffee's there on the little couch
9:57
or the love seat well this is a love
9:59
seat it's only two people
10:01
a lot couch is like a little bit longer
10:02
i love see
10:05
but i did it first half
10:08
in the evenings not eating all day wake
10:11
up i would have a coffee
10:13
lunch time would have a coffee in fact
10:15
up until now
10:16
i will be hanging out with friends we'll
10:18
go to downtown disney we'll go to
10:20
different different places around
10:22
and you know they will be getting they
10:24
were getting meals
10:25
stuff like that they'll go into
10:27
starbucks get a coffee
10:29
usually an iced coffee or a refresher
10:32
and i will be the one
10:34
saying can i have a piping hot coffee
10:37
i usually put a little bit of vanilla in
10:38
there just a tiny little bit of vanilla
10:40
time a little bit of cream tiny bit of
10:42
sugar
10:43
and they always the coffee shops here in
10:45
southern california this time of year
10:47
look at me like i am some sort of
10:51
creature from outer space wanting a
10:54
piping hot beverage so they have to i
10:56
always get a fresh cup
10:58
and because i do that
11:01
in my mind the heat and the caffeine
11:06
kind of knots my stomach up
11:11
and acts as like almost like a meal
11:11
replacement so i do that throughout the
11:13
course of the day
11:14
you know i might have an occasional
11:16
orange juice during these times you have
11:18
to stay
11:19
you have to stay not only hydrated but
11:21
you have to stay
11:23
vitaminized so i do consume a lot of
11:26
vitamin c so that
11:27
i may have i may have lost more if i was
11:29
not inundating my body with orange juice
11:32
and
11:33
occasionally you know apple juice things
11:35
like that was also taking
11:37
a lot of multivitamins i take a men's
11:40
multivitamin take two of those a day
11:42
which have everything in there and then
11:44
i also have
11:45
the chewable vitamin cs that i kind of
11:48
just snack on i have one in the morning
11:51
one in the midday and one night you
11:52
supposed to take two a day i take three
11:54
a day just to keep the vitamin c going
11:56
i'm gonna have the oj
11:58
you know just to keep the immune system
12:00
up all like i said all this i am not a
12:02
doctor
12:03
i do not know anything about this this
12:05
is just
12:06
how it makes me feel keeps me kind of
12:08
driving forward
12:10
and that's what i do so the first half
12:12
the first 40 50 days
12:14
i would have a light salad at night very
12:17
little dressing
12:18
and i pretty much only ate that and
12:22
baked potatoes with no sour cream
12:24
no butter no salt on there just a plain
12:28
baked potato which you can get at
12:29
wendy's i would go through the wendy's
12:30
drive-through pretty often
12:32
and just ask for one maybe two plain
12:35
baked potatoes and i would do that
12:37
maybe an hour or two before i went to
12:40
bed actually probably more like three
12:41
hours before i went to bed
12:43
and that would it would be full and
12:46
it would just kind of sit in there while
12:49
i slumbered i wake up the next day weigh
12:50
myself and i have lost
12:53
a half a pound or a pound so on
12:56
average if you if you average it out per
12:59
day now some days i lost more some days
13:00
i didn't lose any there were some days i
13:02
even gained a pound but then dropped it
13:04
back down
13:05
but if you take the average i lost a
13:08
half a pound every day
13:10
for 100 days totaling 50 days
13:14
totaling 100 days 50 pounds
13:18
pretty good so that's what i did the
13:20
second half
13:21
i wasn't as stringent on myself
13:24
hence maybe why i only lost 16 and a
13:27
half 17 pounds a second 50 days
13:29
and because i was weighing less so it is
13:31
a little more difficult
13:35
that's basically it skipped meals in
13:37
fact
13:39
here's a little inside tip i skipped a
13:41
day or two without eating anything in
13:43
fact there was there was one or two time
13:45
periods i skipped two days of eating
13:47
intermittent intermittent fasting i
13:51
believe
13:52
they called it the body can go a long
13:54
time without eating i i've i've
13:56
done it before that's another little a
13:59
little side note i want to throw in
14:00
there when i was younger
14:02
i could go a lot longer without eating
14:03
but as i've gotten older
14:06
i think maybe the reason i didn't hit
14:07
the 220 is because you start to feel
14:10
not well if you go too long without
14:13
eating so
14:14
you have to trust your body you have to
14:15
go with what works for you i know it
14:17
works
14:18
for me i have mentioned this many times
14:21
when you talk about a diet plan when you
14:24
talk about
14:26
religion when you talk about politics
14:28
those three things
14:30
will strike up a riveting conversation
14:32
among
14:33
anyone so with all the with those other
14:36
items what applies to you
14:38
and what you believe and what your
14:41
thought
14:42
process is and the what what works for
14:44
you
14:45
is what you need to adhere to and stick
14:48
to and go by
14:50
so what i'm just saying what works for
14:51
me and that's what worked for me what i
14:53
did what i showed you
14:55
having the clipboard right there next to
14:58
my refrigerator
14:59
every day seeing that i didn't forget
15:02
about it if i would have said i'm you
15:03
know heck
15:03
i'm going to give up on this i'll lose
15:05
the weight
15:07
but not see that in front of me without
15:09
without even
15:10
speaking to my youtube channel
15:13
everyone watching being held accountable
15:17
i don't think i could have done it and
15:19
it worked for me and i'm going to
15:20
continue right now i'm at 2 30. i would
15:22
love to get down to 210
15:24
obviously the 220 but i would like to
15:26
get around to the 210 200 might be a
15:28
little too
15:30
thin i'm six foot three for my body type
15:33
200 might be
15:35
kind of stretching it i was around when
15:36
i was growing up till i was about 17 i
15:38
was about 185
15:40
and i was i was thin very very thin and
15:44
then i was around 200
15:46
for quite some time until i was 27 years
15:48
old and once i hit 27
15:50
really started to pack on the pounds
15:52
that is when
15:53
all my metabolism
15:57
changed considerably and you know you're
15:59
not as active
16:01
and also throw this in i did not do any
16:04
working out did not do any push-ups i'd
16:06
not do any sit-ups not do any crunches
16:08
did not take the medicine ball that i
16:09
purchased
16:10
way back when all and all this kind of
16:13
this wackiness started here in 2020 and
16:16
i said i'm gonna get in shape
16:18
for me once again it's about what you
16:21
are
16:22
putting in that adds on the pounds
16:24
versus
16:25
eating a lot and then attempting to try
16:27
to work that off
16:28
through through exercise now i would
16:31
like to start peppering in a little bit
16:33
of exercise maybe now that i am down
16:36
way it will be easier to do the push-ups
16:39
go out on bike rides all that has been
16:41
on the back burner because i did not
16:43
want to
16:44
escalate and get too hungry
16:47
because in in the past many many years
16:49
ago i would go to a gym
16:51
and i would work overnights third shift
16:53
at a grocery store get off i would go to
16:55
this gym this is a long time ago
16:57
i would work out and when i would get
17:00
home as i was like starting to like
17:03
you know kind of decompress laying
17:05
around sitting on the couch laying in
17:06
bed trying to go to sleep
17:08
because i had exerted and burned so many
17:11
calories i was so hungry
17:14
i would stuff my face go to bed wake up
17:18
heavier than if i had not even worked
17:21
out
17:26
once again i know not what i'm talking
17:26
about i
17:26
only know what the paper shows what the
17:29
scale shows and how i feel
17:32
i feel great i'm going to have a cheat
17:34
day
17:35
today and tomorrow then get back on
17:38
track
17:39
this will continue i am not going to
17:41
make a statement
17:42
saying that i'm going to get to awake
17:45
this
17:46
uh this adventure has come to an end as
17:49
far as the documenting of it
17:51
now if i get down to 210
17:54
i might throw into another another vlog
17:59
that i got down to that point but i want
18:01
to be held accountable
18:02
not only to myself but to to everyone
18:05
out there i'm making a statement
18:07
not to not to chime back in but
18:11
i don't want to get back up to what i
18:12
was i don't want to be
18:14
that unhealthy as far as my weight was
18:18
again i was i was not feeling good now i
18:21
feel great
18:22
i'm really happy about it also i didn't
18:25
have any soda
18:26
which for me i was i was big into
18:29
mountain dew for a long time
18:31
i did not have i didn't have a coca-cola
18:33
a pepsi
18:35
even a sprite nothing like that over
18:38
this tenure
18:44
but a lot of coffee some juice
18:44
and i had a couple cheat days there were
18:45
one or two days that i did not i ate
18:47
some pizza
18:48
i had some ice cream so you have to give
18:50
yourself a little
18:52
a little temptation in there
18:53
occasionally just to kind of wet your
18:55
whistle
18:56
