Chuck the Chunk Day 19-20

Well Chunksters, here we are at day 20, and I am feeling pretty good. Today, I ended my day 400 under my calorie limit.

Calm Water

by Christopher Neal, A Boy Among Men. My days are usually quite hectic. The chaos starts from the time I wake up until about 30 minutes before bed, when I force myself to stop working. Mornings are filled with getting kids up, fed and out the door with my wife. Then, it’s time for me to get ready and fight …

Days 12 & 13 Chuck the Chunk

Well, this weekend went well on the Chuck the Chunk challenge. I have been very fateful to my diet. I have not cheated (or used any PEDs) but my people are calling A-Rod’s people to get the hook-up.
