Hold the pasta, the mayor will be having a salad, thank you.
With just a few days to go before Doug and Rob Ford’s first public weigh-in, the brothers checked in with Newstalk’s Mike Bullard about Week 1.
“I’m very sore, but things are going very well,” said the mayor, who as of last week weighed 330 pounds.
Bullard asked if their busy schedules and frequent engagements were “prohibiting success at all.”
“I had a meeting yesterday at lunch and just said, ‘Yeah I’m not eating this stuff. Gimme a salad,’ ” the mayor chuckled.
Since beginning the Cut the Waist challenge last Monday, the brothers Ford have been on a diet of veggies, whole grains, water and lean meats. Both have been (trying to) steer clear of pastas, pop and white bread.
For Councillor Doug Ford, the fact that the public is watching is enough motivation not to cheat.
“Let me tell you a story,” he said. “Rob and I were out at a meeting in one of the office towers downtown. We walked out and in the lobby there’s a little candy dish. And I had a dry mouth. So I went up and I picked two little candies out of the dish.”
By the time he got back to the office, the media were calling about it.
Besides eating better, the Fords say they’ve been diligently exercising, with Rob choosing to jog and Doug hitting the gym. The stationary bike, treadmill, sit-ups and weights are his pain of choice.
After the interview, Doug Ford, once an avid hockey player, did a few laps around Nathan Phillips outdoor rink. The next public weigh-in is Monday. The mayor hopes to drop 50 pounds in about six months. Doug Ford, who weighed in at 275, wants to get down to 225.
My fellow taxpayers, we are just a few hours "aweigh" from the first insallment of the "Fordie brothers 600lbs of fun" in their new reality web show, "SPIN THE GREASY WHEEL OF BLUBBER". Yes, ladies and germs once a week, every week the burger and donut eating 330lb jogger aka Robbie and his irascible 275lb iron pumpin' veggie-consuming bro Dougggee will have their carcasses lifted onto a cattle scale for a weigh-in or should I say weigh-off.
Watch as our two intrepid gut-busters "ham" for the cameras, demonstrate gosh-darn vunerability and good ole', down-home redneck inner suburban trailer trash values in their quest for a public acceptance makeover. Laugh at their Fatty Arbuckle antics, cry with them when they share their poignant Idi Amin-like sensitivities and cheer their spirit in their quest to "ease their gravy-laddened pain".
What say ye, my fellow tyaxpayers? Robbie is a joggin' and a-eating foreign leafy green-like objects. Dougggeee is a-pumpin' iron, figure-skating and eating candy.
I say Robbie has lost 3 pounds and Dougggeee 4 pounds.
Stay tuned!
