Wrong website

Well, I've figured out my problem.  I'm on the wrong website.  And how do I know this?  Because there's not a whole lot of weight loss going on around here!

But, I'm in a good mood so I'll share.  I have been on a job search for about a month now and last week I accepted a job.  The hourly rate is decent, but it's only a part time job.  Today, as I was figuring out bills and such I finally said, "OK, I'm happy with this....it may be all I get offered....and maybe it's what I'm meant to be doing."  I believe there is a reason for everything so this is my thought process.

Funny things happen when one finally accepts the position they're in.  About 2 hours later a representative from 84 Lumber calls and wants to set up an interview for a production manager in training position.  It will require relocation so I get details and tell him I'll call back after I speak with my wife.  Another hour later and guess what?  I get another call for an interview for another production supervisor job.  This one is local.  Both of these jobs will pay better and are full time.  I know I don't have the job yet, but I'm feeling so good about myself.  I WILL get one of these jobs.

See, that didn't pertain to weightloss at all.  I need to find another site to just ramble on about whatever.  I will be back, though.  I am still trying to lose weight and eventually it will happen.

Hope your day was as good as mine, even though I'm on the wrong website!

Hold up, man!

Dude, I think you may be the only other guy on this site, don't leave now!  You need to get back on track and start posting so I can read something besides all this griping about TOM.  I don't know who that guy is, but he sure has pissed off every woman in cyberspace!

Seriously though, don't give up.  Your family is worth the effort. 

Maybe you need a friendly competition to get you motivated?  My goal by year end is to hit 220.  You already have a head start, you think you can get to 200?

BTW, if you worry about rambling, look at my EP blog (saddad.extrapounds.com) for minute.  Ramble away, man, ramble away...

Game on

High stakes... me wearing Irish periphenalia posted in public could lead to being disowned...

No problem, it'll be worth the risk to see you proudly display your Green and White!

OK, my target is 220, yours is 196.8.  How about the final weigh-in be on Tusday 1-2-07 (gives us both a chance to recover from 12-31)

In the event of a tie, we buy whatever shirts we want and show off the new bods for the ladies out there!

Keep your site updated at least once per week, and keep rooting for the Tigers!
