Introduction Just What the Hell Have I Gotten Myself Into?

This morning I get a text from Martin, who, coincidentally, is at a seminar with JB.

I’m here with JB right now. You better be eating big. I heard one pound to go!!!!

I write back: It’s getting close. It’ll be 20 pounds in 28 days if we pull it off.

A few seconds later, my phone pings with another text from Martin.

No IF Nate, it is WHEN!! I don’t care what you have to do, MAKE THAT POUND!

Am I really gonna make this? Or is my body gonna stop at 189.9?

Come on, come on, come on.

Other highlights from Day 27
