Celebrate good times, come on!

(Let's celebrate)

Back in early May I weighed 271.5 lbs. For me, that's pretty heavy so I set a goal to lose 36.5 lbs. by Labour day. Getting down to 235 lbs. would bring me close to the weight I was when I started seeing Patti 10 years or so ago. Well, this morning I surpassed my goal when I weighed in at 233.5!

Rather than pompously detail all of the lifestyle changes I used to lose the weight, I thought I would take a moment instead to thank Patti, Pat, Vlad, my Dad, my kids, Dave, Sherry, and Alastair for being patient with me over the last three months as I bored them daily with the minutiae of my progresses (or lack thereof.)

To celebrate, Patti and I are going to go to a Chinese Buffet Restaurant on Friday where I will positively hurt myself. I will not stop eating until I have stretch marks. Then I will reset the goal and head for a final weight of 225 lbs. by Thanksgiving.

Celebrate good times, come on!

Here is, dare I say - ANOTHER gem of a comment, plucked from the jewel-encrusted crown of veritable comments that is to the right eastern-most portion of my left cerebral hemisphere...

Last one...even a writer as prolific as me has gots to recharge on occasion.

Hey Man - I read here what interested me and I still wonder if I can ever get that "trigger"....."straw that broke the camel"......"final motivator"....call it what you will to actually change my lifestyle. I'd sooooo like to lose about 25 lbs and just feel a bit better and energetic......sigh.....There is just a lot to "digest" here in your blog. I need to somehow break it down into a manageable chunk or chunks. When I'm ready to try and do something, I'll be calling you daily for support and advice bro! Now - I'm going to make pancakes and bacon for breakfast and then see what Canada brings us.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY GUYS!!!!! Wow! 11 years.....I especially like the part about your stag where I said, If I was marrying you...."I would have rolled you over and stabbed you".....:>) Thank GOD Patti loves you man.....maybe even more than I do....
