The power of Chilies


The plan is working so far. Everyday since I began my diet I have included chilies or peppers in my diet. The metabolism boosts are phenomenal. The only draw back is the fiery burning mouth (and possibly stomach cancer). Some people in this contest are running six miles a day or more. If I tried to run six miles somebody would have to drive to the half-mile mark and pick me up. The best I can do is walking at a fast pace for 20 minute or so and then I need a break. I am pathetically out of shape. The good news is that I am working out and my endurance has improved, I am walking at a faster pace then I was at the beginning of last week. I am having a hard time sleeping. A friend of mine who used to do body-building contests told me a while a go that when you diet your body keeps you up longer to give you more chances to eat. Jennifer has given the ok for a cheat meal today: bacon cheeseburger and french fries. I am drooling just thinking about it. I hope everybody enjoys this disjointed post.

P.S. I heard talk about Sunday hoops after church last Sunday. Is this going to happen? We need to have advance notice so everybody can bring clothes and invite friends.

P.S.S. Another poker night could also be a good idea. I know that tv season is starting and evening workouts are probably consuming everyone evenings, but most of us have DVR's and proper planning could alleviate these issues. After the last poker night Jennifer even said she would play.

Basketball sounds like lots of fun. I'll be out of town this Sunday, but next week would be cooly cool.
