Ah it is good to be back! Back in the Robusto groove! Well I am all tapped out of things to say, looks like another 3 year drought is in order. So lets get down to some brass tacks as pops would say!
1. No weight loss to speak of, as a matter of fact there has been some major gain and loss and gain and loss going on since 2012 when I last posted. So maybe the name of the blog should change??? We will think about that and then as one of Mrs. Robusto's mentors would say, we will "talk up and talk out!"
2. Lets talk about the wasting time portion of my life where I excel tremendously! I am a positive champion of procrastination! Just ask Mrs. Robusto!
3. One of my main reasons for writing again is to inspire Mrs. Robusto to write again, because lets face it... she is freaking hilarious! I am a rambling buffoon, but she can really put it down! Lets all take a trip over to her blog and make comments and requests for her to PLEASE start writing again.... We can find her blog here... http://lifewithrobusto.blogspot.com/
4. Another main reason for writing again is due to this fabulous woman
I mean take a look at her! She is a beautiful woman inside and out! If you put a little make up on me we could be twins! She has been requesting the great Return of Robusto! So lets see how long it takes for her to see that my comeback tour has started!
I feel like I have more numbers I should put down for some reason, but instead I am thinking that I need to get on with the blog... lets call this a journal instead. I think this is more of a journal than a blog... the name blog seems so outdated and I kind of feel silly saying blog... so no more!
So a couple months ago Sister of Robusto started fasting for her diet. She would not do anything too hardcore, but she was only eating one meal a day or maybe going for the 48 hour fast. I decided to try it and stuck with it really well for about 2 weeks... during that time I went for a 72 hour fast! Holy Moses! I know right!?! So during that two week period I lost 10 "real" pounds! Well that ended, because long term fasting sucks! So I gained all of that back and then some!
I got up about 2 months ago and decided I wanted to start lifting weights again! I got about 2 weeks into it and was feeling good! Then I had to have a couple "things" removed from my back... And it set me back again.... Because I was not allowed to workout for a month after each "thing" was removed... So during that time I got on the scale - I weighed 357 pounds! Not an all time high, but wow I am a fatty! So I started eating less food - not stopping eating all of the Full Flavor items I love, just eating less of them! And I LOVE Pepsi... but I do not drink sugar drinks anymore... I have replaced them with water for the most part and 2 diet drinks a day. A diet Cheerwine and usually a diet Dr. Pepper. I still tear it up on the weekends! I still eat Full Flavor every night! But during the day I fast, or if I eat lunch it is meager. So I have been doing this for about 6 weeks and I have not weighed because I really didn't want to know... But last week i realized my belt felt ever so slightly looser! And even though this weekend was FULL FLAVOR! I decided to weigh yesterday morning. I was 343! WTF?!?!? Best Day Ever! Mrs. Robusto and Sister of Robusto and I have been group texting about fasting and food and tie dye (that is for another post!) and wow! I have lost 14 pounds! I mean Holy Shit! That is amazing!
So the comeback tour begins today! Who knows when I will post again, but I hope it will be soon! I am not going to try and become Mr. America, instead I am going to try to become the best ME I can be. And to be honest, the best me I can be is Mr. Robusto!
