Well, I'm not going to lie to you...I appear to be putting on a few extra lbs. It could be the long hours I'm working, not being able to get to my local Y, the crap food I'm eating, the copious amounts of cold beer OR a complete combination of all these factors. My clothes are tighter, I'm avoiding mirrors & terrified the scales would utter the disastrous phase" One at a time please". Now, let us be clear that i consider myself a manly man so the word diet is not in my vocabulary but it is time to get a handle on this as winter is fast approaching & I am way too girthy. The 2 main things that I must do is 1) get my fat ass to the Y at least 5 times in a week which is tough working Mon-Fri & UT football on Sat & 2) quit eating crap! Anyone who knows me realizes copious amounts of cold beer is pretty much my only vice, well except Black Forrest gummie bears(only found in the evil empire named Walgreens) & I am never giving up or cutting back! I must start eating better which means giving up pizza(except the Chicken Pie @ Pizza Perfect), Bread(except Chick-Fila original sandwiches or Calhoun's Chicken Cordon Bleu) & ice cream(except Gold Medal Ribbon from Baskin Robbins). Every year about this time, I have the same revelation & vow to trim down after college football is over. My calendar says October 8th & college football is over January 8th, that is 3 months. I may be 3bills by then unless I resort back to 1)get my fat ass to the Y more & preferably in the pool. At one time I was swimming about 4 miles(yes miles) a week & was looking like Mark Spitzs without the 7 gold medals of course. I always say that as big as I am....I really don't eat that much, which is true. I just love me some cold beer! So off i go to get my fat ass in gear! And I'm also fully aware that we are our own worst critics so let's work less(constant theme), eat a little better(bad for you food is good) & make it to the Y more. Oh, and praise cold beer everyday the way i praise the Lord that I am a man as it is alot easier than being a chick! The picture above was the carnivore feast that i so masterfully grilled to perfection for the crew on Friday night of the Ocoee trip followed by New York strips on Saturday night. I do know my way around a grill! Thanks Mom for being a terrible cook so the boys had to learn or starve.
Cheers,
Rip Pewett grillmaster for life
