muffin top challenge

a “muffin top” is a pejorative, slang term for the roll of fat that hangs over the waistline of your pants. (see above photo and then apply to mental image of your own roll, if applicable.) yesterday carlos, over at ragamuffin soul, issued the ragamuffin top challenge. he’s set a weight loss goal, and he’s gonna check in each saturday with his new weight. i’ve accepted the challenge and will be posting my weight updates, as well. my current weight is 213, and my goal is 180 (the max weight for my height to qualify for the life-insurance discount). i knew i had gained weight, but i didn’t realize my muffin-top-iness until i saw the following photo, taken two days ago…and i specifically remember sucking in my gut as much as i could… so yeah, it’s time…

and i’m issuing the same challenge. this is for those of you who want to add a day or two to your lives. set a measurable goal, and tell somebody (i.e. me, on this blog…unless you’re chicken…) WHO’S IN?!

  1. I think you should talk to Brent. I think he may be “in”…and you can tell him I sent you.

  2. I don’t know. I like having my extra baggage, and wheezing up the stairs, and being way too “naturally warm” outside in the winter, and having constant poopies, and feeling too tired to do stuff, and barely fitting into pants that were way too big on me 3 years ago, and having by boxers rip up the crack when I bend over, and sweating in places I used to never sweat, and—wait….OH, yeah! I might be in. Stress is a killer. Going 15 hours a day doesn’t usually leave much time/motivation to work out or anything. Can I give myself liposuction? Or maybe I could cut my midsection open and let the vultures eat my yellow cellulose of love.

  3. My wife gets mad at me whenever I eat all of my toddler’s M&M treats he gets for potty training. I finished off the 1 pound bag we had open the other night while I was reading my One Year Bible, and then after that I went to McDonald’s picked up a twenty piece McNugget and Large fry (can you believe that was almost 8 bucks!?!?) to eat while I watched NCIS season 3 episodes on my King-sized bed. I’m in… I think.
    I have to ask my wife first. (seriously)

  4. I also think you should talk to Brent. He really should be “in.”
