keep the motivation
0:50
going there is a clipboard
0:56
right over there next to the
0:56
refrigerator that you can hear making a
0:58
quite a bit of noise and generally when
1:01
i
1:02
am in town i will hop on the scale the
1:04
same scale every time
1:06
write down what that number is based on
1:10
what it was at the beginning
1:12
just to keep myself motivated
1:16
and i'm going to share i have not i have
1:17
not stepped on it today
1:19
i'm going to share the moment the 50-day
1:24
weight progress right now
1:27
i'm inviting you and i'm going to tell
1:28
you what i've been doing i'm inviting
1:29
you to join me
1:31
shall you of losing some weight
1:35
this is me dropping some pounds 50 days
1:38
ago a challenge i am presenting to
1:40
myself it's always good to document this
1:42
stuff
1:43
and drastically reduce
1:46
the amount of consumption that i have
1:49
done
1:49
started back on june 24th day one
1:53
i was at 282 made really good progress
1:56
that first week
1:58
you know a lot of it water being water
2:00
weight first week is usually the easiest
2:02
if you
2:03
really devote yourself to it
2:06
then it gets a little harder i gotta
2:09
break out the scale now
2:11
see what the total is i also should
2:13
mention that i will be
2:15
wearing pants about socks
2:19
exactly as it was on that day one
2:23
and it's a few hours into the morning so
2:25
i've been up for a little while
2:28
probably would be a little lighter if
2:31
right when you wake up and you're not
2:33
wearing as many clothes but i wanted to
2:36
document this
2:37
with the same weight of wardrobe on
2:41
including the belt the socks pants
2:44
t-shirt
2:45
as it was on that first day so
2:48
here goes here's the sheet here's the
2:51
scale
2:52
oh yeah it's go time here goes nothing
3:05
247.1
3:05
okay let's lead with the other foot now
3:08
once it resets itself go with this foot
3:25
247.1 all right
3:25
one more time go the best of three
3:30
and it's pretty accurate 247.1
3:36
after 50 days i am now 247.1 pounds
3:42
my eventual goal is to be at 220
3:47
that's what i'm looking forward to and i
3:50
think i can make it happen
3:51
over 100 days but let's not
3:54
let's not put this aside this is an
3:57
accomplishment
3:58
247.1 pounds starting at 282
4:04
back on june 24th
4:07
you can see i still have half the page
4:09
here
4:11
so i'm going to continue to 100 days i
4:14
will do another weigh-in
4:16
at 100 days and i will reach my target
4:20
goal
4:21
stating this now of 220
4:26
on day 100 so i've got
4:31
27.1 pounds
4:33
to lose in the next 50 days it's going
4:36
to be tough
4:38
i might not have i might not have to be
4:40
as dedicated as i have been and what
4:42
i've been consuming but i'm still going
4:44
to eat very light to make that happen
4:45
very light
4:47
to make that happen but let's not like i
4:50
said let's not put this aside this is
4:53
i am really excited about this this is a
4:55
good day
4:57
feeling good looking better
5:00
than i did man
5:03
it this makes me happy
5:06
for posterity 282.00
5:10
minus 247.1
5:14
equals 34.9
5:18
pounds total 34.9 and 50. let's call it
5:22
35.
5:23
actually let's call it 34.9 because
5:25
that's what it is
5:26
so let's take 50 days and divide it
5:30
by 34.9 giving us an average of
5:34
1.43 pounds per day now some days i lost
5:38
more some days i didn't lose any some
5:39
days i gained a little bit
5:41
but as an average if you were to do an
5:43
average on this per day
5:45
over those 50 days wait that doesn't
5:47
sound right
5:49
one point that wouldn't be right or
5:51
would it be right
5:53
no that wouldn't be right i'm completely
5:55
incorrect because that would be more
5:58
okay something's not right okay i did i
6:00
did it gotta go this way go
6:02
30 37
6:05
okay now this is it 37 point
6:09
no no 34.9
6:13
divided by 50. okay i never was a math
6:17
wizard this sounds this is more correct
6:23
point six nine eight so let's call it
6:26
point
6:26
seven so seven tenths of a pound
6:29
every day on average for 50 days
6:33
to lose the weight i lost okay well that
6:35
was that was confusing
6:37
now all the days i did not fill out were
6:40
when i was in florida i did not want to
6:42
go on a scale that was not the same
6:45
wanted to be accurate and wait till like
6:47
till i got back home
6:50
and you'll see over here as well on my
6:52
birthday
6:53
i was at 245.3
6:57
and i gained a little bit because you
7:00
know i
7:00
i ate a couple meals that day i i kind
7:03
of splurged a little bit in the cow
7:05
the calorie category plus
7:09
when i weighed myself that day on day 48
7:12
i just had short snow belts
7:14
and no socks on so that could have added
7:16
to it
7:17
just a little bit as well when i said
7:20
splurged in the calorie department
7:22
it wasn't really anything extravagant it
7:24
was just a little more than i have been
7:27
consuming coffee has been a
7:31
big part of my regiment
7:41
kind of curbs the appetite quite a bit
7:41
very helpful
7:42
usually a little bit of cream a little
7:44
bit of sugar not too much
7:54
oh yeah it's brewing up now what have
7:54
i been eating and drinking consuming
7:58
to make this happen now before i go into
8:01
it
8:01
let me preface by saying these are
8:05
things that i do they are what works for
8:09
me
8:09
might not work for you it might not work
8:11
for others
8:13
i've always said when you talk about
8:14
certain subjects you know
8:16
being a diet and weight loss is one of
8:19
those subject matters that really gets
8:21
people
8:22
gets the opinions flowing
8:31
and i understand that this is what
8:32
i have been doing so keep that in mind
8:34
it might not work
8:35
for you or to anyone else that
8:38
you might be sharing this advice with i
8:41
have been skipping meals i have been
8:43
eating
8:44
considerably less haven't really been
8:47
counting calories you know to the
8:51
to the tea exactly but i've been
8:53
watching probably around
8:55
let's say 1500 trying to go over 1500
8:59
per day there was one or two occasions
9:02
where there were some things that
9:03
happened that those days went over that
9:06
into the two and three thousand calorie
9:08
mark but those that was very
9:10
slim no pun intended well not slim yet
9:14
but i'm hopefully getting there
9:21
coffee as i stated kind of curbs my
9:21
appetite
9:22
it kind of makes my stomach full
9:25
and i don't get hungry now i have never
9:27
been a big breakfast time eater now i
9:30
love breakfast food i love eggs and
9:31
bacon and sausage none of which i have
9:33
had
9:34
in the last couple of months but i do
9:36
like that i don't really get hungry in
9:38
the morning i eat those foods for lunch
9:39
or dinner especially
9:40
breakfast at night is very tasty so what
9:43
i do is i get up
9:44
drink a cup a cup of coffee maybe even a
9:46
couple cups of coffee before
9:48
noon and i stayed busy yesterday
9:51
was the first day that i missed an
9:54
upload on purpose i
9:56
skipped yesterday just to kind of
9:58
decompress to relax
10:00
a little bit after my birthday give
10:02
myself a day off
10:05
and because of that it was yesterday was
10:07
was difficult because i was not
10:09
really busy now i did run some errands i
10:11
did do a few things
10:13
but i was not busy filming concentrating
10:16
on a project editing throughout the
10:18
course of the day
10:20
my mind was elsewhere where i was not
10:22
thinking about
10:23
food so much and i would say nine times
10:27
out of ten
10:28
over the course of this project for
10:30
myself
10:31
i would not eat until about seven seven
10:33
thirty at night
10:34
and it would be a salad with
10:38
very very small amount of dressing
10:45
sometimes i would get other things on it
10:45
but usually it would just be the salad
10:47
leaves maybe some
10:48
spinach things like that
10:52
and then i would have a baked potato i
10:54
got really i ate a lot eight more baked
10:56
potatoes in the last 50 days and i've
10:58
probably eaten in the last 10
11:00
years of my life and didn't put anything
11:02
on them
11:03
no butter no sour cream no chocolate i
11:06
know
11:08
a little bit of that does not hurt but
11:10
for me it is easier to just cut
11:11
everything out
11:13
go 100 in on something for it
11:16
to work and that is what that is what i
11:19
have been doing
11:20
the difficult part was the theme parks
11:23
going to florida for the openings of
11:24
walt disney world
11:26
12 days i spent in those disney parks
11:35
i had no churros i had no sweets with
11:35
the exception of
11:36
maybe a dole whip or two ate no
11:39
meals in the park now i did have one or
11:41
two items
11:43
at some of the resorts and some of the
11:44
hotels
11:46
but i had i had the i was like i had the
11:49
blinders on when i was walking through
11:51
there
11:51
and let me tell you i can eat some theme
11:53
park food but i said heck if we're going
11:56
to do this
11:58
we got to go all the way you have to you
11:59
have to make that commitment
12:02
and i have discovered they say the habit
12:04
you know once you develop the habit
12:07
it makes things a lot easier a habit
12:08
takes 30 40. i can't remember what the
12:11
the quote is but it takes over a month
12:13
to develop a habit
12:14
and it has gotten a lot easier
12:17
especially as i say that when
12:18
you're busy doing other things and food
12:22
is not part of that it's easy to just
12:25
skip meals now
12:26
some will say eat smaller portions just
12:29
eat throughout the course of the day and
12:31
i can respect that and appreciate it and
12:33
maybe i will try that when i reach the
12:35
final
12:36
goal that i have and get back into
12:40
steady food flow but for now this is
12:43
working
12:44
for me i am not a small portions
12:53
type of guy it is easier for me
12:53
to drink water versus
12:56
water with some sort of like sweet
12:58
substitute in it
13:00
you know a flavoring because it gets my
13:02
taste buds
13:03
once my taste buds start going it's game
13:06
over
13:06
i will eat continuously so a little
13:09
sample meal
13:10
is harder for me to have this a nibble
13:13
of something
13:14
because once i taste that once i get the
13:16
taste on the tongue and in the lips
13:19
i want to eat a whole meal i want to eat
13:20
until i'm full so if i just do other
13:23
things
13:24
and don't think about food it works
13:26
better for me and i love
13:28
temptation i love being hungry and
13:31
having others around me i love i
13:33
feed off of the challenge i know it
13:36
sounds a little
13:37
it sounds a little crazy
13:42
but you have to want it you have to want
13:42
to do it and that's why i waited so long
13:45
years i had friends acquaintances
13:48
family members that would always say you
13:50
need to lose some weight or they hint at
13:52
it in a nice way
13:53
hey we're doing a diet plan you should
13:55
join
13:57
you should join me join us shall you on
13:59
the diet plan
14:01
and i would say now's not the time but
14:04
this
14:05
has been the time i'm not trying to be
14:09
motivational to anyone out there that is
14:11
thinking about doing this
14:13
but if you want to do this if you would
14:16
like
14:16
to lose weight i know nothing i have i
14:19
am not
14:20
a self-proclaimed aficionado when it
14:22
comes to having
14:24
a weight loss diet program
14:28
they say i don't know who they are but
14:29
they say you have to make a lifestyle
14:32
change and i feel like that's what i
14:34
am doing i feel good i have not had
14:37
heartburn
14:38
i have not had acid reflux was a big
14:41
part of my life the last few years
14:43
and let me tell you in the last month
14:45
and a half maybe even
14:46
not quite the last 50 days but within a
14:48
week of starting this so let's say the
14:50
last month and a half
14:51
or more after i began this 50 days
14:54
i haven't had any of that i have felt so
14:58
good so if it's something you would like
15:02
to do
15:03
maybe look into what i have done if it
15:05
works for you if you have other options
15:09
try it give it a try maybe you'll feel
15:11
better maybe you'll drop a couple pounds
15:14
i feel really good and there's a lot i
15:17
have a long way to go i have done this
15:19
in the past where i started almost
15:21
now there was times when i thought what
15:23
i am at now that i was completely
15:27
overweight and i still am overweight
15:29
some would say more than others that i
15:31
am
15:31
on the level of of weight that i should
15:34
not be at
15:35
however comparatively
15:39
i'm doing good so 220
15:43
220 is where i want to be now i have not
15:46
been doing any push-ups i have not been
15:48
doing any sit-ups i am waiting until i
15:50
get down
15:51
to what i need to to start doing that
15:52
now some will say i get it
15:54
you should be doing that during it but
15:57
i've just been doing cardio
15:58
riding the bike doing a lot of walking
16:01
a heck of a lot of walking so lots of
16:05
cardio
16:06
and during you know when i was at home
16:08
doing the home
16:09
vlogs i was doing a lot of push-ups i
16:12
was taking the
16:13
medicine ball and working out with that
16:16
but i've discovered if you do not change
16:18
what you're consuming really none of the
16:21
working out
16:22
is going to make you slimmer it really
16:23
is
16:25
for me what i put in my face and what i
16:28
shovel down
16:29
into the stomach and what compresses
16:31
itself into fat
16:34
this has been my opinions take it with a
16:37
grain of salt
16:40
but you've seen the numbers
16:54
if you enjoyed this particular episode
16:54

16:58

17:12
the vlog man
17:17
just one ounce well not one ounce just
17:19
one point
17:20
one tenth of a pound away from 35 pounds
17:24
and 50 days
17:25
how cool is that pretty dang cool it was
17:28
a little bit of a struggle
17:30
it was it was a little bit of a struggle
17:32
but once the habit started going
17:35
once the normalcy of what i was doing
17:39
kind of seeped into the brain and what i
17:41
was doing before
17:42
wasn't as commonplace it worked out
17:47
and i got 50 more days so in 50 more
17:49
days from now at 100 days i will do
17:50
another weigh-in and i will i assure you
17:53
i'm making the statement now documenting
17:56
the good thing about putting it on video
17:58
like i did 50 days ago
17:59
is i have to stick to it it is it is
18:03
it what's the word i'm losing okay i'm
18:05
drawing a blank on the word
18:06
but it is you're documenting you're
18:08
putting it out there
18:10
for all to see and there's no turning
18:12
there's no turning back you have
18:14
to go for it or or you could look back
18:17
and say
18:19
i didn't do it 220 coming for you
18:23
in 50 days i'll see you the next video
18:26
