Rad. Rad. Rad.

I used to love the Hacker’s Diet, but counting calories is starting to be a huge burden now that I am in an office and no working from home.

Thank you for introducing me to the Line Diet 155 days before my wedding.

Thanks guys!

I’m not willing to declare a flawless victory until I weigh in on the 23rd. But…the scale read 178.2 this morning, so it’s looking like I’ll have something to declare! I will probably yell FLAWLESS VICTORY when on the scale.

Chris, yeah, I’m probably going to go horizontal although I want to spend at least a month not thinking about the line too much while maintaining some of the good habits I’ve developed and see how things settle.

I’ll be writing a follow up blog post next week.

I say, sir. Well done. It’s May, and your line is looking completely liney.

Are you going to go horizontal with it now?

Great prep work, man! One other motivational tool I’ve heard about people using is donating to causes you don’t believe in when you fail to meet your goals. So, for instance, let’s say you wanted to lose 1 lb/wk. You could set yourself up to donate $10 for every lb you fall short in a month or any given period to some organization or cause you don’t believe in or are totally against. The idea being that you’ll be extra motivated to do the things necessary to reach your goal. I’m not personally a fan of doing this based on results, but more on inputs. So, I think it’s a great idea to fine yourself (e.g. donate to demon cause) for every day you don’t run, but not on your actual weight. That way, you’re only responsible for the things you can control.

Need to get back in gear, myself. Let me know when you’re running and I’ll try to motivate myself to join ya!

Peas,

Hahahahaha, Adam.

I’ve been thinking about this surfing thing, and I’m realizing that I’m just a lousy surfer. I paddle out, which is hard, but then I’m either too timid to take waves or I’m not willing to work hard enough for them. I end up not doing enough surfing to work those balance muscles for very long.

I need to get back in the water.

Good on Wade for being a maniac!

dude i agree with everything chris radcliff said. i started losing weight with wade two years ago. he took that idea and ran with it but that man is OBSESSIVE, he will stick to his workouts and eating routines like a maniac.

i just gave up after a while and i never got back to when i was at my fattest (pig level) but now i am just floating about 30 pounds above non-chubby level (doughy level).

don’t you have a computer job? those are the worst for fatness because you just sit there immobile. my friend in berkeley has a computer job in berkeley at home which is the worst, because you only do two things when you work unsupervised on a computer at home besides work: eat (refrigerator is right next door!) and you know the other thing. it is unmentionable.

hey also surfing does help you lose weight: your body working to stay warm, and all of the muscles you use for balance.

hugs, hervey

I came across your website from San Diego Roots’ site, and I just had to drop you a line to let you know that I think it’s great that you’re taking the time and energy to be better to your body. I too was part of the “my pants don’t fit” club back in September, and I made a commitment to do something about it. Like you, I’ve been eating healthy, exercising, and going for the Triple Crown! Carlsbad was my first half marathon, and it was incredible. I can’t wait for La Jolla. Best of luck on your journey to a better you! See you at the finish line in April :)

I think your diet plan is awesome, especially the donations you have committed to as motivation. Keep up what your doing and you’ll be there in no time, well May at least.

One thing that bugged me though…
From your statement about surfing it sounds like your the one “ridin’ nerdy” out in the water- kook?! You said: I want to surf more often (although surfing isn’t great exercise other than the paddling). If you get better at surfing you will find that it is one of the best full body workouts you can get due to the explosive maneuvers that require quick and very powerful muscle response. Surfing may not be your key to getting lean but your endurance and strength will improve a lot. Get in the water more to improve your skills and you’ll flying down the line to 180.
