The Cleanse - Finale

It's over! I made it! I won!

I learned how to eat lots of vegetables and enjoy them. I feel wonderful. I have more energy than I ever have. I lost 14 lbs and reduced my body fat percentage from 20% to 14%. I look great. ;D

I've been eating "normal" food again and it's been enjoyable, but has been a little difficult to adjust to. For example, I went to lunch with some coworkers today, and we ended up at this little hotdog shop in Hermosa Beach. Guess what was not on the menu? Vegetables. So, I got a hotdog and side of french fries. It tasted good, but I felt like absolute crap all afternoon. I could not wait to get home and eat a salad.

So am I going to go back to eating how I was before? Not on your life. Now I've joined a "Speedo Contest" with some friends. It's a competition to, by the time we go to Vegas during the first week of May, see who looks the best in a speedo. Yikes. I've got a lot more situps to do between now and then.

Good luck with the Speedo contest... haha

Eating good is always nice. I have had a high metabolism all my life so far, but I know my eating habits will catch up with me after I turn 30, if my older brothers are a sign of things to come.

Not that I'm volunteering, but who's judging this contest? Just curious...

We haven't worked out the judging details yet. We might have to go to a gay bar and all of us dance on the tables so that we can get unbiased judging from complete strangers. :P
