Bad News

So I haven't been so goo lately. I know, so here it goes. This morning I'm giving away all my candy--from Halloween, from my birthday, from everything else. Consider it gone. I also exercised this morning for the first time in over a week. Having sick kids in the middle of the night really puts a cramp on getting up early, but no excuses any longer. This weekend I'm going to catch up on my work so the stress can go bye-bye. I'm going to start going to bed earlier so I can get up earlier. Again, this is all theory, but I'm going to work to make it happen.

It's a pity no one took up my wager. You'd be winning right now. Then again, the holidays aren't over. They're just beginning.

Usually, I take off this time of year from my carbonation fast, but I think I'm going to be more rigid about that. I'm not going to go spring for a case of Dr. Pepper or cream soda. I'll take it easy and drink responsibly.

So, for all of you who forgot my birthday, or those who just need to pay your next tribute, candy is no longer acceptable tender. Cash or other commodities are still acceptable.

P.S. If you haven't seen the updated rules at the bottom of the page, please check them out. See, I'm learning.

Yeah...Yeah...I Know

I haven't posted on this blog for quite a while...not quite as bad as my absence from JoeAverageWriter, but still pretty horrible. To keep up the shocking news, I hadn't exercised in over two weeks--16 days to be precise. And still, I had lost 1.1 lbs since my last measurement. In short, despite my horrendous eating habits and lack of dieting focus, I'm down to 279.5. It's not as low as I should be, but it's not too bad considering what an awful person I am.

Here come the holidays! And just so you know, I have not gained serious weight over birthday, Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year's in several years. Anybody wanna bet against me this year? Anybody wanna make a wager?
