In the name of shame


249.6
 
The official weigh in for the Summer of ODJ Challenge. There it is, presented for all gluttony. That is 1/8th quarter ton for the people following along with the fuzzy math edition. A new high point. Shattering the previous 2012 starting point by seventeen pounds!  

Posting my starting weight is very important for Jaron and me. We do little in our friendship that is not in the name of shame. Motivation by embarrassment is the Joel Olsteen of ODJ. The preposterous prosperous gospel is giving us lazy slobs a get out of self-loathing jail card, and it sure as heck ain’t shedding no pounds. I have to go with extra strength negative reinforcement ---- Peer pressure is for youngsters. And prizes are for the sheeple. But shame is for the hardened, nothing to lose crowd.
 
Losing weight to feel good and spreading the joy of feeling good is noble… (Add wink and finger gun for dramatic effect.) Let’s all sweep the cavalier dung droppings of motivating others under the yoga mats. If you ain’t working towards a personal end game, then you’re probably a narco-disciple of self. With more internal consumption than a Utah based multi-level marketing supplement company.

No weak stomachs in the slaughter house.

    Let us forego the preamble of altruism. This weight loss journey has no noble ground to stand on. It's cutthroat narcissism and pride that will determine the outcome this go-around! Ole JT, for good or ill, is not a vain person, but he is damn well proud! This competition will draw out of him what I, on my best day as a trainer, could never hope to. Determination to clown on potentially multiple ops managers and admin assistants...that's what motivates our hero! The starting weight is both frightening and exciting to me in even measures. I too, am a fat slob, currently, 214.4 for the record. I depend on his vigor to drive me. I'm a trainer plagued with laziness and disdain. Sorry combination, to be sure. Challenges motivate us both. Let the games begin...!
