As most of you know, I have been hitting the gym at least 3 times a week if not more for the last 3 months in an effort to get rid of my my man tits. My last report on my status was about 3 weeks ago & I was at 12lbs down. Well, I am excited to let you know that I am now up to 16lbs lost & counting!
I weighed myself this past Thursday & just about shit a brick at the total! It feels so good to be back under 250lbs, for real. I guess fortunately for me, my weight is proportionate for the most part & I am not running around looking like a nasty fat nasty thinking I’m hot.
My diet restrictions are working big time & it has been a week since I stopped eating beef. I get weak every time I see a Burger King & have to basically stop breathing to avoid the temptation of the seductive aromas from the ubiquitous fast food restaurants in my area.
One thing that I feel that is making a difference is that I love working on the elliptical machine, & I think I am addicted to that thing! On average, I am riding it for 45 minutes to an hour & burn up to 600 calories while going a distance of about 5 miles. I basically am a sweaty mess after I get off but that is OK!
At this point, I know I will be hitting my target of 20lbs by Feb 08, so I need to start re-assessing my goal(s) for the next few months. Basically my goal at this point in general is to get back to my pre-jump off weight, which is my weight before I met Suite Suzy.
Back then I was 230lbs with no man tits, nice firm & round grabbable ass & plenty of energy. Speaking of ass, Suite Suzy grabbed it the other day & was like damn boo. I got a little geeked by that…
I think that I will be at the pre-jump off weight before the beginning of summer, which will mean that I can be back in my sexy man shirts with confidence.
Switching topics but not really, last Friday, I stopped at the Centaur for drinks & ran into one of the bouncers there whom I have not seen in a while. He was like hey man, looks like you are dropping pounds. I was like hell yeah! He was like shit, I lost 40lbs in 07 & want to lose another 50 or so. Then I told him about my status & pending goals. Then we talked about the increased energy especially in the bedroom. We both were like, damn who knew that them extra lbs would affect you in the sheets & laughed.
So to all my big brothas out there, drop that bottom so that you can freak like you used to back in the day! Women nowadays want a man who can go all night!!! At least that is what I am hearing from Kwame Kilpatrick’s boo, Christine Beatty.
20 lbs & 12 Years is how long ago this image was taken.
In full disclosure, I did not take this photo but the person who did, will remain nameless since I have a PPO out against her.

Update:
I forgot to mention that music is also a major factor in the Bygbaby workout. Without it I think like most, things would be mundane!
I prefer pumping house tracks & rap (Mike Jones baby) to get me moving, but every now & then I have to throw in a little something down tempo to get my cool down going.
Here are 6 of my favorite workout jams (like you care):
Jill Scott – Not Like Crazy (Woo Woo Mix)
Nicole Willis & The Soul Investigators – Feeling Free
Glenn Underground – Contraversy
El Coco – Cocomotion ’79
Fertile Ground – Let the Wind Blow (Ian Pooley Main Mix)
Pirahna Head – Poem 4 A Lost One (Black Music Remix)

Congrats! 🙂
Does that mean you and SS won’t want to go get Negro Fixins when you visit NY again? 🙁
Tamra / January 28, 2008
Congrats! I love your attitude (and hilarious self-deprecating humor) about the whole thing.
I got a workout for ya–have you heard of the “300 Workout”? Have you seen The 300? (great movie!) Well,here’s something for you to aspire to, hehe. Makes me nauseous every time I look over it, hehe.
Lastly, I know you’re trying to work on diet and everything, but I didn’t know if you’re actually counting calories–if so, did you know that alcohol contains 9 calories per gram? That is, vs. 4 cpg for both carbs and protein. Just info–we know you love your cocktails.
In the meantime, keep it up!
Oh–one last thing–Beyonce’s “Work It Out” is a good jam too. You might want to break out and start dancing though…

Cluizel – Um no! It si on & poppin’ for the Negro fixins!!! As a matter of fact I am craving them!!! + when we get there, you will be well into your pregnancy with “Brooklyn” & will need all the Negro fixins you can get. LOL!!!
Tamra – OMG, ain’t no way! When I saw the movie, I was like damn, is that possible. Seems like to have a body like that, you cannot work because you will be in the gym constantly.
I wonder how the guys that did the movie look now???
Suite Suzy talks to me about my cocktails when ever I pull out my tonic but I am not hearing it. I only have a few a week & I am not sure, if I could ever officially end my Thursday night jump off with drinks music & blogging. LOL!!!
Tamra / January 28, 2008
Luckily, for the rest of us, “medical experts” say the 300 Workout isn’t realistic… Hmmm. Wonder why???
I figured we’d be “talking to the hand” about the cocktails. LOL…
Bygbaby / January 28, 2008
LOL on the drinks!!!
ayankha / January 29, 2008
You go ‘head!!!! A report just came out about exercise and having a few drinks actually being more helpful than either alone in maintaining good heart health(http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1706768,00.html?cnn=yes). So here’s a toast to elliptical machines and low cholesterol.
Bygbaby / January 29, 2008
Ayankha, Wow & how interesting. iw as getting geeked & was about to say that I am going to toss back a few tonight after my work out but that 2nd to last paragraph chilled me out for at least 12 years from now.
“Before you rush off to hit the bar after your workout, keep in mind that your age matters. Alcohol may do you no coronary good until you reach the age at which heart disease becomes an appreciable risk. “You wouldn’t advise everyone to drink,” says Gronbaek. “You shouldn’t even think about doing it until age 45 or 50. There’s absolutely no proof of a preventative and protective effect before age 45.””

i know… but hey, why not get some good practice in so by that time you will have it down pat.
Bygbaby / January 31, 2008
LOL, starting tomorrow night boo!!
