MASON, Ohio — A Philadelphia eating champion has held on to his crown in a Cincinnati-style chili-on-spaghetti contest by downing 13 pounds, 9 ounces of the stuff in 10 minutes.
Bob Shoudt says he prepared for Monday's competition at Kings Island amusement park near Cincinnati by fasting from solid foods, beginning Saturday evening.
After winning his $2,500 cash prize, Shoudt said he was off to ride a few roller coasters with his son. He also declared that Cincinnati chili "tastes great."
More than 400 people watched the gorging by Shoudt and his opponents, including a woman named Sonya Thomas who put away more than 11 pounds of chili spaghetti, more than 10 percent of her body weight.
I love spaghetti, but scarfing down 13+ lbs?!? If I was to do that now, my stomach will literally explode.
Here are my goals for the next few weeks:
- 3 weeks until wedding pictures. Goal weight: 195 lbs give and take.
- 6 weeks until Las Vegas: Goal weight: 190 lbs.
- 12 weeks until Wedding: Goal weight: 180-185 lbs.
Binh has been helping me out with my weight loss. He told me about the Lemonade diet/cleansing. I told him I'll be a guinea pig and do it, log it, and take beginning and ending pictures (will post sometime this week). Done and a success. This is going to help me transition into a normal diet big time!
He also introduce me to this crazy HIIT program. I can probably run a good 1-1/2 hour of basketball thanks to his workout.
This weeks agenda:
- See 199 and under on the scale. New Orleans gave me a minor set back but nothing that I cannot recoup from.
- 2200 yards of HIIT.
- 30+ miles of biking. Now that Trung is home, I have someone to go riding with.
you give me too much credit. it's your will and determination that makes it happen.
ReplyDeletei only hope that i'm a nagging reminder.
