Talk about a slacker – that would be me. I'm really late in getting this post out, but I have good reason for it. My daughter was in town over the holiday and left only yesterday. So what does that mean as far as my progress? Well! Let me tell you, Lauren was a horrible influence on my the entire time she was here. I pigged out on food I really had no business touching… like fettuccine chicken with alfredo sauce – one of my weaknesses. [ still drooling ] [Read more...]

I’m About Half-Way There
September 3, 2010 By 5 Comments
Last night, I got to thinkin'… and I'm like CRAP! I'm half-way there! I'm talking life. I mean the act of living… the physical act of breathing in and out. Yep, I'm just about half-way through my entire existence. When the hell did this happen and why didn't anyone tell me I was going to hit this point so fast? What the hell y'all? [Read more...]
All That Muscle Swallowed His Brain [Edited and Revised]

[UPDATE/EDIT]
This was an experiment. An experiment in different writing styles for me. I'm still trying to find my style – whatever that means. This post in particular, was a lot of fun for me. I really liked the idea of leaving it up to you – the reader – to figure out what happened. The comments left behind were so different from one another. Now, I'm going to edit the hell out of this to let you know how I interpreted everything that went on. Let's see if your interpretation of what happened changes after you see the revisions. Revisions will be in bold and in red. Also, this updating/revising is an experiment for me. Let me know what you think. I believe this will help me later. [Read more...]
A Better Me – Wk. 11
August 31, 2010 By 6 Comments
I wouldn't say it was a bad week, but not the greatest week I've had either. I went on a little road trip – love road trips. I spent most of the week out of town or on the road. I'm surprised I didn't gain any weight this past week. While I met my calorie-burning goal this week, I still missed two gym days because I was out of town. I could've gone to my old gym, but it just never happened. There was just too much shopping to do and not enough time. But the week wasn't a total flunk. I found some awesome fitting jeans at Old Navy… and they were a size smaller! Whaaaaa?! Yep. In fact, everything I bought was a size smaller than my normal size. This is a very, very good thing. Yayee!! [Read more...]
A Better Me – Week Ten
August 24, 2010 By 4 Comments
I've noticed that the weeks I haven't lost any weight, have been the same weeks when mother nature comes to visit. Although it's kind of depressing, it makes sense. I really wanted to start the C25K program again, but I didn't feel like my left leg was ready for it just yet. I feel I'm ready now, but my schedule this week is kind of strange. So I'll start week twelve. It doesn't look like I'll be in the 5k race, as a runner, in October. I won't be ready for it yet, but I will walk it. And, if memory serves, there is a 3k race right here, in town, in November and I should be able to participate in that. [Read more...]
