Good Times!

The overall week end was a blast; I havent had any vacation for quite a while. It was fun to go around Montreal and visit family members and friends. I also got to meet with a few fighters including Mike Brown WEC champion.

Since finishing my “Biggest Loser” contest, I went on a crazy burger & poutine spree. I consumed 6 burgers and 7 large poutines within 72 hours. I feel like crap! On top of gaining almost 15 lbs, I never thought fast food could damage your system that quick. I now realize what the “Supersize Me” dude went through for an entire month. Total hazard to your health. Never doing that again.

Here is the blog post from last year “Biggest Loser” edition: How Toulouse Weight! 1st Edition. I lost over 80 lbs in 90 days, starting from my original weight of 248 lbs! Earlier in the year, I was at my heaviest at 260 lbs.

Needless to say; I am now feeling a lot better. I got back to my high school shape and feel a lot healthier. As usual we went out celebrating at the “All you can eat” buffet once again. When I have some time, I will post my training and diet program which proved to be very effective.
