Weight loss bet…for hard cash!

I remember when I used to write these posts in no more than 20 mins on the rattler riding into the big smoke of a morning…well times have changed and I now am writing in my bath (which I can only just squeeze into). I’ve taken a leaf out of two buddy’s of mines books…who both swear by an evening bath time…and 7 days in and I’ve got to say…it’s bloody lovely and a nice environment to capture ones thoughts! First mate Mark…affectionately known as Cocky, swears by an evening bath and I trust him immensely…and when we lived together we were peak life fitness (in looks/appearance…but maybe not in the booze we consumed…see picture below of us in our rock and roll flat!). My other buddy Richie B is a bit like a wild Buddhist monk in my life, who when we shared a room together playing golf at a certain Donald Trumps, Trump Turnberry (CLANG) introduced me to the evening bath time he enjoys (nothing weird…we didn’t share)…and this guy is SWITCHED ON and knows his onions…believe you me…and do you know what…here’s my first tip…if you don’t already have an evening bath time chilling out and unwinding…TRY IT…it’s superb! I’m converted to this YOU time!

The glory days…peak rockstar Belsize Park with Cocky…
When Rich introduced me to formal bath time…at Trump Turnberry (CLANG)…

But less about baths (didn’t really realise I was even going to talk about them so much) and maybe now onto why I’ve been inspired to write some nonsense again…I’d love to say it’s because I was a budding journalist or influencer/content creator…but I’m not, as you might already know…I just finding it a great way of sharing some nonsense, some recipes, some ramblings and daft stuff (when I think everyone needs to be reading more daft stuff…maybe in the bath) and mainly hear about me ambling through weight loss and trying to keep off the excessive timber I gained from around mid March last year 2020 (no idea why it started then but maybe being mid house renovation with no kitchen and lots of booze in the garage kick started it all…anyway we digress) …but this time with the need for weight loss there is WONGA involved…£££…monies…pound Sterling…dollar dollars…Bitcoin (I wish!)…you get me?! Obviously also the fact aside from the bet I just need to get healthy and weigh considerably less for me to be heading in a better life direction.

Anyway…So I’ve got a bet with a couple of friends of mine…one called John, and the other called Darren…but I’ll come onto more about them in time (our common interests through lockdown and life tend to be wine, Guinness and excellent fried chicken which is never helpful for staying trim when you also work together and see a fair bit of each other)…granted we started the bet in November (made in a pub post business meeting naturally) and I’d put weight on since then to the start of this year (easily done at Christmas), but now we enter the serious stretch…the winner has until March for the person that loses the most weight percentage ratio wise to starting body weight…make sense? The added twist being if you still don’t have the weight off in June…you have to pay the winnings back…BRUTAL! We all have it to lose but I’m the really BIG lad of the three!

So…have a guess what I’m doing??? When people think of a peak mediabison in its natural habitat they think…elite athlete…hunk…handsome devil…but mostly they think KETO WARRIOR!

So there you have it…Keto Bison is back…for all the info on Keto life if you don’t know it then see a couple of posts below (YES IVE BEEN HERE BEFORE)…but basically it’s a low carb, high good fats and protein diet (trying to avoid processed stuff)…so even if Keto isn’t for you I’m sure you’ll enjoy some of the ramblings and maybe even healthy little recipe delights (especially if you’re trying to avoid the processed foods). Have a look at my pics of some of my inventive teas over the past week or so (I’ve also been fasting for 24hrs daily in the week) so these are all under 1200 cals, ultra low carb, high fat and protein! I’ll share recipes over further weeks unless you want them speedy drop me a comment or get in touch directly.

Jam packed omelettes…
…to Sexy steaks with kale, spinach, eggs, and aubergine cheese zingers…
…to spicy ramen with crispy pork belly, cabbage and low carb fake noodles…
…to crab stuffed cheesy mushrooms with buttery asparagus…
…even some inventive brekkie ideas with this truffled slow cooked scrambled eggs on roasted courgettes…insanely good!

Seriously most meals take under 30 mins but if you want to put a bit more time in (if you have spare time to throw into this delightful adventure) you will see glorious results. You’ve got this! I look forward to sharing more with you all very soon on how this journey goes. I might also ask my fellow competitors for tips and advise on what they are doing to keep the pounds off and have a feeling you might even get a few recipes from Darren (he likes to get cheffy)…wish me luck and if you know either of these humans and know where they live please send them boxes of sweets or pizza and booze deliveries to keep them topped up in cals and keep me ahead of the game!

Thanks all and here’s to a beautiful 2021!

Love, themediabison x
