There’s a scene from the Hollywood movie Tommy Boy where Tommy (Chris Farley) and Richard (David Spade) are sitting in a cheap motel room planning out there next day’s sales plans… Tommy, in his infinite wisdom, decides to put on Richard’s sports coat… For those of you whom have not seen the movie, Tommy weighs a healthy 360 or so while Richard weighs a buck-fifty dripping wet… As Tommy is putting on Richard’s coat, Richard becomes upset warning Tommy to take it off… The following exchange takes place…
Tommy: “Fat guy in a little coat… Fat guy in a little coat…” (Tommy says while spinning in circles like a little child)
Richard: “Take it off dick-head, I’m serious!!”
Tommy: “Richard…. What the…..” (Tommy bends over and pushes hands together… Then a LARGE ripping sound ensues)
For the full effect one should rent the movie or look the scene up on youtube… I use this example because when I started this journey, my weight belt felt like Richard’s sports coat… I am officially down seven notches from when I started this ridiculous path… If I had tried to wear my belt a year ago, where I have it now, I would have looked like the Michelin man!
I am two weeks out from the big day and I have to say that there is nothing greater than planning for the future… Human beings were created to strive for something more… Soooooo, what did I do? Dusty and I started planning for 2012… Starting in the New Year I will be gaining 15 to 20 pounds of muscle… Now, I know what you are thinking “HA HA, 15 or 20 pounds?!! You won’t have a neck after that much weight is added!”
Oh contraire my virtual friends…
I can only imagine the amount of muscle I will be adding in the next year… I have made so much progress this year that I have decided that the sky is the limit… This is only the beginning… I have learned to manipulate my body into a lean, mean fat killing machine… Thus, over the next year or so I will be turning it into a lean, mean muscle adding machine…
There is no greater time in a man’s life when he realizes his full potential… I will not falter and succumb to the mediocrity of society… Instead, I will be triumph in my quest for accomplishment… I hope to power through the next two weeks and leave my first show excited and determined to do better for the next show in November… And when I finish that I hope to use that show as a launching pad for 2012…
Failure is NOT AN OPTION!!!
