Well, so far, so good. The scale read 194.5 this morning, and while I’m still not convinced that I am losing anything more than just water at this point (I mean really, who loses 4.5 pounds in 5 days unless they’re just not eating anything at all??), it’s still nice to see the numbers decrease! … Read moreMy next big challenge…

I always thought that the hardest part of dieting was fighting against my own urge to eat the wrong things (mmmm…doughnuts!). Boy, I wasn’t even close! The last couple of days I have been very careful to only take “good” (a.k.a. low carb) foods with me to work so that I couldn’t slip up. This … Read moreMy own worst enemy? I don’t think so…

I got on the scale a few days ago, and what I saw made me realize that I need to get my act together, because since I changed jobs nearly 2 years ago, my weight has gotten out of control. I used to spend most of the day on my feet and in constant motion…these … Read moreOfficially “done”, and that’s only the beginning…

Two POSTS in one day, of course, get your collective minds out of the gutter. I did something today that I have never done before in all of my 36 years. I wrote to Dear Abby. Now before you let your imagination run away with you and decide that I must have written to ask … Read moreTwice in one day! Can you handle it?

Well Mike, I believe you did a wonderful job picking out your screen name, because if your wife knew you were sending messages to girls on the internet, I’m quite sure the dog house is where you would be spending your nights. This would be especially true  if she knew you were telling them that … Read moreDear “Mike_” in the “dog_house”,

You wake with a start, look at the clock beside the bed, and, oh no! It’s 7:44! Why didn’t the alarm go off? You’re supposed to be at work in 16 minutes! Suddenly your heart is pounding as your mind races through everything you need to do before you can leave the house, and you … Read moreDoes this happen to anyone else?

At Sharon’s request, please let me clarify last night’s tales of our adventures at M.R. Ducks on Sunday. When I took THIS picture of her frowning into her empty glass, it was indeed the 3rd or 5th or 10th attempt to snap the picture. Why? Because she was soooooo wasted, she couldn’t keep a straight … Read moreA Clarification….

Yes, you guessed it, it’s Cheryl Electra! Really I just wanted an excuse to see if adding height and width parameters would actually allow me to add and image to the body of my post.

Tonight, the beach saga continues.  On Sunday we were supposed to go on a nature cruise around Asateague island. We got ourselves ready, hopped on the ‘drunk bus’ (I’ll get into why they call it *that* later), and began the arduous treck 130+ blocks down Coastal Highway to the dock. The bus ride seemed like … Read moreLions and tigers and…..Whoopie Goldberg? Oh my!

I just got home from a 3 day weekend at the beach (Ocean City, Maryland, to be specific), and let me tell you, getting in the car to make the drive home was *not* easy! To rub my nose in it that much more, it started to rain when I was about an hour from … Read moreWho doesn’t love the beach?
