The great scale conspiracy

The last few weeks have not been great for exercise. With only about three to four trips to the gym in the last three weeks, the thought of weight loss was far from my head.

Surviving the Fourth of July weekend

Having basically binged for my birthday, I had to get back on track for eating. The problem was that I was going to be heading out of town with the family for a weekend camping north-east of Brainerd, MN. And to top it off, it was Fourth of July weekend. I could already imagine my pant button pressing into my belly.

I say well, because I have had my fair share of beer and other fine adult beverages in the last few weeks, but overall, I would say my diet was well within the “WeightWatchers” guidelines for my size and age. I stayed away from the scale intentionally... more

Six month goal done in less then three months

So when I started my “real” weight plan June 1, 2009, my goal was to lose thirty pounds in six months. I thought it was a lofty goal, but would be something I could do. cartoon archive at funnytimes.comHere I am less then three months later and I did it. It hasn’t been easy by any means. It seems the last ten pounds has been stubborn, but I can say I did it the right way through exercise and good eating.

Just back from the impromptu twenty year high school reunion and have to say, I have not laughed so hard in a long time. We didn’t get to see all our classmates, but made the best with the group we had. It is just amazing to see just how great our whole class was. Friday started off with me arriving late with my wife to the Kenmare Country Club. Our late dinner with my Grandma Florence put us behind a few minutes. Once we were out there my wife and I were greeted by everyone as if we were long... more

Got you with that headline I bet. It was several months ago since I last posted. Since then, I lost all my “phatalba” database and had to start over. But within that time frame, there was change. A change in attitude towards my health. I decided to eat better, exercise more and make better decisions. So far the changes have been positive. I started really dieting on June 1, 2009 and it wasn’t that difficult. I also made the choice to use my YMCA membership. I have used it more in... more

About Me

Why the odd tagline? Well, I have a strange and stupid sense of humor.

One of the most favorite parts of a show/movie is when the elevator door opens and all you hear is someone belting out the punch line of a joke.

That is sort of what happened to me one day while shopping at the local drug store with some co workers. I decided that that made a great tag line.
