- I can't begin to
tell you how much I wasn't going to post this. I make
lots of videos that I just kinda store and forget
because they don't feel right...
-
- ...but in this
case? It's just embarrasing. And now that I've loaded
the footage and see it's gonna work I watched this
video and went, yeah - it's a worthy milestone. So
here goes...
-
-
- Now I've lost and
gained a BUNCH within The Journey. So much, I rarely
even talk about it anymore. I know how to do it, it's
very simple for me although just as hard for me as it
is for anyone. Simple and easy are two completely
different things...
-
- ...but when
I say I didn't think I was gonna pull this
off? I mean it. Like - I did 2020 Adam in May of
2021 in an effort to do 2010 Adam in June of 2021 and
proceeded to just never pull it off. Then I was gonna
do it in early 2022 and again, couldn't pull it off.
Losing 50 pounds is a lot and the carzy thing is? I
really only needed to get to 170 because of age. The
real 2010 Adam I was 160 I believe? But 160 looks so
different on my face at 47 than it did at 34 so I
can't lose that much to match. I will eventually for
health reasons, but for this I need to
match.
-
- But time kept
slipping away and then we had the summer of
TWENTY-DO... I was 218 man. Like, fucking hell. So the
kids went back to school on August 15th, and that was
day 1 of the diet. I mean... talk about pushing it to
get a 2022 release date. Holy fuck. It took every
second of those 3 months to lose 40 pounds and I
really didn't want my streak of a doc every year to
break - and I somehow pulled it off. Fucking
hell.
-
- And that
embarrassing video is me really being proud of myself.
I don't show that often. Maybe some childhood trauma
about being too "flashy" or some shit - but it's just
no in my DNA. Of course I often AM proud of myself but
I don't make fucking videos about it and put it
online. This may be the least self-obsessed video-blog
of all-time in that sense.
-
- But this? Yeah,
it's really impressive. Now I just have to get
everything edited and delivered in about 3 weeks. I
bet I can do that.
-
- Man, I really
pulled it off. Can't believe it. Alright, big day
ahead of us - holiday street fair and picking up nana
at the airport! WOOOOOO.
