What the #@$%! Is Ron Drinking?

I have a confession to make. I’m envious of the guy I host the show with.

He’s a fitness nut. Has been for at least the last 25 years. Don always seems to be in the gym, or on a spin bike or climbing Rainier.

Me – not so much. I’d rather be curled up on the couch watching the Dexter/Homeland rock block or sitting at a Poker tourney waiting for Pocket Rockets.

So needless to say, the one NOT named Don tends to pack on the pounds much more.

A few years ago I dropped almost 40 pounds, and then got lazy and gained 20 lbs. back.

So I recently went to a weight loss specialist (full disclosure: they might become an advertiser on the show in the near future).

I’m trying their program, and in the last 6 weeks, I’m down 16 pounds.

It’s been pretty straight forward for me. No wheat, No dairy, No sugar (almost no sugar – I’ve got a sweet tooth).

But the one thing that seems to freak everyone out around the office every day at 3:30 is my Spinach Protein Smoothie.

I know, sounds delicious.

Watch this video of what I’m eating most days. I’m about 4 pounds from my goal, so I’m hoping to have a new video in a week or two of me back down to 220.
