You Know You’re a Loser When….

So I have fallen trap to the age old blogging dilemma: to write or not to write? I’ve got plenty to say. Really. It’s just that no one is really listening. So if a tree falls in the forest…nevermind. I’ll spare you. In fact, I don’t even know who “you” really is. I mean, it’s not me, ’cause I’m writing this drivel. Maybe if I put a link in to donate to PayPal…. hmmm. So I went out for a walk this evening, or should I say, my wife...

Weekly Weigh In

The Coke thing has been going fine. Last Monday I had my “last” Coke for a while. I didn’t have another caffeinated beverage until Saturday. I knew I needed an extra kick and had a 24 oz. bottle of sweet ol’ Mt. Dew. That was it. I’ve not returned to the caffeine since Saturday and don’t plan to until perhaps next week end. So I’m a “social drinker”, so what? I can handle it. Yesterday I did my second weigh in, and I’m not very pleased...

I fell off the wagon! Things were going well for me and my new challenge to lay off the Coke. So on Saturday I had a hankerin’ for something sweet to drink. I thought, “I’ll just get a caffeine free soda, and that’ll be good.” After all, I said “no Coke”, not “no soda” (although the ultimate goal is to give up all beverages that aren’t healthy). So I found myself at the 7-11 in Oregon City and I spotted an A&W Sparkling Vanilla...

My Shortest Post Yet

Normally I like to blather on and on and on… and really no one reads this thing, so I can get away with it. But today. Right now. I just wanted to say how friggin’ much I am craving some Taco Bell!! That, and I have six packages of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups (2 cup packs) in my desk here at work and I want to have one soooo bad!!! I sort of told myself that I can have them when I have a six pack of abs. That’s supposed to motivate me somehow. Oh...

Battle of the Bulge: Bulge 3, Me 0

I can’t seem to win. No matter how hard I try, I just cannot win. I go through the same routine every weekend, where I decide that Monday I am back on the bandwagon. I am gonna start eating right and exercising daily. And because I am going to do that, I might as well live up my last weekend, because from here on out, it’s nothing but hard work and getting fit. So go ahead, gorge yourself to tears on everything you can find, because Monday morning is coming quick, boy-oh!! Yep....
