October 9, Day 216, 225.4 lbs, 32.0%

Dear Diary,
Theres something to be said for hitting the gym and working with a trainer. Theres also something to be said for tried and true diet programs and exercise videos. I'm just not sure what the f*** it is. I've been d**king around out here doing whatever the f*** I thought was the right thing for the last 6 months and though I've had my ups and downs, its generally worked for me. And no I didn't do it alone. I did it with some advice from friends. Huh? No not you, and to be fair not all of the advice and not all of my friends. You just can't do anything people tell you. You have to look it up. You have to do whats right for you. What was right for me yesterday involved helping a friend thats been through his own ups and downs. The Alchy. As a matter of fact, he took me through some ups and downs too. Up and down the muthaf***in stairs while we were moving his s**t. Also yes, his wife and kids stuff too. The distance wasn't much, but its amazing how much stuff a few people can have. He said it would be just about 2 hours and he had a good size crew to help. When we were about an hour and a half in with no end in sight we discussed how he had grossly underestimated the time needed to get this done. One thing I grossly underestimated was my desire for chocolate chip cookies. His wife went to Subway to get us lunch and as I ate the very specific sandwich I ordered I figured I'd stay away from the cookie and the soda. Negative. I killed them. But it all worked out in the end, because I got my workout all the way through. Theres something to be said for going the traditional route, but theres even more to be said for making your own way. Still don't know what the f*** it is though.
