  • Getting Back into Fighting Shape…

    On September 17th, I discussed my battle with obesity and my decision to begin eating a little healthier.  Actually no, I was just becoming a fatass because of too many Bomber Breakfasts and 30″ meat lovers pizzas.  I did decide to start eating a little better to shed a few pounds.  On that date I was 235 pounds.

    Check this shit out:

    Boooooooooooyahhhh

    In ladyfriend news, she’s decided to go all out and eat strictly vegan.  While I can’t say this is my idea of good eating, I gotta throw my support behind her.  I even made a vegan dinner the other night.  My Mother is beyond impressed.  She had a bunch of that Activia yogurt in the refrigerator that she can’t eat anymore.  The solution?  I’m taking the Activia challenge.  To be completely honest, I’m not sure what the big challenge of eating a thing of yogurt every day is, but the stuff is pretty delicious.  I’m also not sure what the challenge is supposed to do, but my sources tell me it helps make you “regular”.  When I did some research on Google, apparently this means it makes you poop a lot.  Looking forward to it.

    Damn, I gotta eat all of this yogurt?

  • Fall is in the Air

    Here in Michigan, there really isn’t any such thing as a designated “seasons schedule”.  Our weather is absolutely out of control.  At anytime you could experience any season, possibly multiple seasons in one day.  I’ve woken up to mornings where my car windows are frozen and require scraping, by noon it’s 80 degrees, and at night there’s a thunderstorm.  This past winter we had days where it was -10 degrees.  My pipes burst.  This past summer we had days where it was 105 degrees, which would be great if we had A BEACH.  All I ask for is consistency.  Is that too much to ask?

    One season that I do enjoy is Fall.  This is the time in between Summer and Winter where the air turns brisk and the leaves change color.  I don’t even know what it is about the leaves changing color that’s appealing to me.  Doesn’t this mean the leaves are dying?  Plus, a few days in there’s a gust of wind and we’re left with sticks until Summer.  Regardless, Fall is my season.

    Yesterday, Stephanie and I woke up to the following view outside of our living room window, and decided it was time to partake in some “Fall activities”.
