Ok...so that was a little out of hand, but I'm immensely proud of myself today. I think I've earned it because that's the result of a lot of hard work right there. Don't ever let anyone tell you that they've lost that kind of weight and did it without effort. It's not all bad though. I look better, I feel better, I'm healthier and I can talk trash to the guy on the bowflex commercial now.
It's great. The guy comes out, he's built like Mr. Universe and he starts talking about "I worked out, I got bit and I lost six inches off of my waist." And I get to be like, "ONLY six inches? This guy's a bitch! I lost ten!"

So it's a celebration type day. I've finished all of the work for my beginning of the semester class and I'm just waiting to find out that I officially have my A that I'm expecting, and I'm finally over this freaking cold that's been bugging me for the last week.
Some of you out there may remember that I promised a new Beastie Boys parody when I hit the one hundred pound mark. So, without further ado, and sponsored by my skinny little ass, it sounds just like The New Style, but it's really The New Jim...
And on the cool check in
Center stage on the mic
and we're puttin' it on wax
It's the new Jim
4 and 3 and 2 and 1
When I'm on the mic the fat cells run
Down with Rob T and Fat C and its great
And I've lost more pounds than Picasso got Paint
Sometimes it was rough and sometimes e-z
And I'm not surprised I've got a small Belly
S-O-S-M-A-L-L
Sent all those pounds straight down to hell
I don't eat franks or pork and beans
They just don't fit in my routine
I get it I got it I know it's good
The weight I've lost you wish you could
Been 10 months in training
My whole life was straining
I was always whining and got sick of complaining
So I signed up at the college and I took some classes
Joined the Coalition and we shrank our asses
You thinking fuck it it just can't happen
And you're jealous of me because your gut just won't flatten.
KICK IT!!

KICK IT!!
(Instumental break)
Father to a lady, smaller by a ton
And in case you're unaware, I just lost a hun
I step into the party, the place is overpacked
Don't have to suck my gut in cause I'm wearing smaller sla-acks
Don't have cheeks like a beaver cause my calories are capped
You better keep your mouth shut because your gut is fat
You've got nothing to say because you weight is high
That's why your girlfriend thinks that I'm so fly!
I've toes that I can see, twin gunboats at my side
You probably feel envy cause you can't get out of bed
If I played guitar I'd be Jimmy Page
I could get girls of any age
I've gotta stop there. It gets into all kinds of steal your girlfriend smack, and that's not so good for a married man. I hope you enjoyed it though. How's everyone else doing?

Going well, getting excited

Today's weigh in: 201.8 (NEW LOW!!!!)

So one-derland ( as Rip put it) is approaching and I can't 'weight' to get there.( OH LORD THAT PUN WAS TERRIBLE!!!) I need to lose two more pounds to hit the onesies and three point four pounds to hit one hundred pounds lost. I'm almost there, I'm almost there, I'm almost there! I FREAKING RULE!!

Oh yeah, and I got a two hundred dollar bonus and a fifty cent raise at work. I won't actually see the cash for either until my next paycheck, but it's nice to know that it's coming. I'm pretty happy. I also have hockey tickets though, and we're leaving to see the Red Wings play the Ducks in like five minutes so I gotta run. Just don't forget this: If Wednesday is Prince Spaghetti day, then Sunday must be Weekend Warrior day. Rock it out today, guys!

Keeping on track..with everything except this blog

Today's weigh in: 202.2 (NEW LOW!!!)

Things are going pretty well lately. The weight is coming off slowly but surely, I've added some weight to my weight bar this week and I'm getting a A in my class, with three weeks and two major papers left. Work is going ok, and when we took our daughter to the doctor's office for her two year checkup, Doc told us that Riley's speaking and language comprehension are on par for a four year old. Now if it would just start warming up so that I can take my little monster out in her running stroller life would be perfect. Wifey even got an award at work that came with a five hundred dollar bonus. Go her!

Unfortunately, keeping up with all of this has left me short on time to blog. My time at night when I get home from work is usually taken up reading some story written by some guy who's been dead for centuries and then writing about it. It's actually not all bad, and I do love to read, but something's gotta give, and I'm down to the bare minimum amount of sleep that I can get by with as it is. So, I'm sorry if I'm not around as much as I should be, but I'm keeping things moving forward at least.

I try to keep up with everyone elses' blogs as much as I can, but that's not as much as I would like to. Trust me though, if you don't see a whole bunch of comments from me lately, it's nothing personal, I've just been busy. Speaking of busy though, I'd better go shovel this freaking snow. April can't get here soon enough!
