Ok - the Buff Beach Body 2011 Challenge begins...

Ok, update time everyone...I got down to 210 and stalled out (no exercise but stayed on the diet). Then started to creep up to 215, 220.

I'm starting a new challenge, to be fleshed out. Here are the details:
1) I will do a weekly photo weigh in (on tuesday mornings) and update the web site.

2) I will do a weekly Photo session, highlighting my shrinking girth and my emerging muscles (yes, there will be a parental warning notification for those of you who are unaccustomed to blubber)

3) Starting today, Monday, November 22nd, I will be waking up no later than 6:30 to exercise, as part of my monthly long conditioning to prepare for....wait for it...P90x beginning the first week of the New Year.


That means that by April 2nd of 2011, your favorite frazier will be even MORE awesome than he already is...I will add "sex symbol" to my already impressive list of accomplishments!

What can you do to help? Just be my fan and keep the comments on the Facebook fan page rolling!!!

First update tomorrow at 6:30 AM!

That's 220 for those of you keeping track at home! Down 20 lbs!

Tues morning weigh in - 230 again...need some suggestions for breaking into the 220s

Dude...i am SMOKIN' hot!

tues morning weigh in...230...hanging tight...think it's time to ramp up some exercise and watch this blubber start melting off...next week's target -- 225.

I'm looking so svelte and sexy that I will not be surprised if tomorrow mornings official weigh in puts me at 225 (and yes chucklers - that's a GOOD thing...)

Took an unofficial weigh in today...230 lbs...

Tomorrow's the big day - my "after one week of low carb diet" weigh in.

No breakfast yet...need some protein and an exercise kick

I survived the cheesecake factory and had a nice breakfast of eggs and bacon this morning...along with my 27 pushups and 25 reverse crunches.

I'm going to the cheesecake factory but I won't let you...my fans...down.

Having some fast food temptation...but I'm not going to give in because of you..my fans..

6 o clock wake up...25 pushups and 30 crunches...sorry ladies -- he's married.

My top half is sore from that punishing regimen on tues morning..get ready for 'turning it up a notch' tomorrow morning

Does Bowling count as exercise?

Went bowling last night and while bowling itself may not be a cardio activity, sucking as bad as I did has got to use SOME muscles.

Ok..lunch time...apple sauce turkey sandwich and glass of milk.

Entering the WITCHING Hour

Ok - with 38 years under my ever expanding belt, I KNOW that I'm in that
danger zone right now where I skip lunch, get obsessed with work until 2:00 and then go and
let the Golden Arches soothe my physical and emotional needs...SO  I'm going to have an EARLY lunch.

Taste that, you Scottish Devil!

Tues Breakfast

Ok...part of this whole process is going to sleep at a reasonable hour too.

My plan is to wake up tomorrow and do something HARD to show my body I mean business!
