Me and a friend have a bet going...by 01 May 2009, I have to lose 55 lbs (I started at 210 and want to get to 155). He has to gain 25 lbs of lean muscle mass (trust me, we have a way to determine this). The money on the table is $1000.
If we both reach our goals, we keep our money.
If one wins and the other loses, the winner takes the money (naturally).
If we both lose, we have to donate the money to charity.
The bet began on 01 Oct and I'm doing good so far. I joined a gym and mix in DDR and walking for extra cardio.
For my diet, I make sure to drink 1 gallon of water a day, cut out soda, fast food and alcohol, and eat as clean as I can on my budget. The plan almost seems fool-proof. I have just one problem: Does anyone here know what to do in the event of hitting a plateau?
Odds are I think I have a better chance of winning than he does. Losing 2.2 lbs/week from now to the end seems easier than trying to put on 25 lbs of muscle. He has to balance gaining actual muscle and not turning into a tubby bastard. He's also pretty lazy, that is definitely to my advantage.
Let me know what you think.
