Pics from the party

Howdy from the land of full bellies and hangovers!!

Ain't life grand!! What don't kill ya will make you stronger!!

I thought I would post a couple of pics from the party.Everyone had a large time, no one should have gone home hungry.I only had one question that I asked and could never figure a good answer to----I wonder what the poor folks did that evening?

I want to tell ya how good it felt to be able to start a fire at 4am and cook all day and have company until midnight---it felt good. I really enjoyed the long day. My fat loss made most of this possible, a year ago it would not have been as much fun.

Check out the pics, this is Janet and mine's project , the patio and the shack. We did a lot of work.Janet is the one in the red shirt, I'm in the hat.

Get your priorities straight, before life re-arranges things like you don't like.

The next push

Howdy from the land of china berry trees and rusty lizards!

Man did we ever have a grand time Saturday. Yep the patio party worked out just fine. Good food, good friends , good refreshments ---we even had a couple of dogs come to visit.

Started off hotter than the hinges of hell, but by 6pm it was down to around 99 degrees and a little breeze.

I said last week I had backed off my calorie burning some for a few days. I feel a little better now, although I still have a nerve thing with my fingers getting tingles but I am working on it. Anyway, I am stepping it up for 4 weeks now. I plan on cutting calories fairly hard and increasing my calorie burn back to where I was. I want to be deficient around 7-900 calories a day for the next 4 weeks.

After that 4 week period I will rest my old knees and relax for a week and carry on.I think this will work good for the summer, while it is hot.

If anyone has any real hot plans for the summer let me know.Maybe you can give me an idea on how to burn more fat.

Watch for me on the fat loss road, if ya need a lift , you can hitch a ride with me.

Better get yer shit straight, life ain't like an hourglass, when ya run out of sand ya can't just turn it over.

Backup Week

Howdy from the land of black widow spiders and new baby fawns!

Well this week has been a little tuff. I have had some back/neck nerve issues and been going to the chiropractor.I decided I was wearing myself down trying to fight all the little issues and keep up the calorie burning level I was at.

I decided I would back up a little for a few days. I am still walking at lunch with 22 lbs in my vest. But I am not using my sticks. Also this week I am not doing my Turbulence exercises at night nor the tread mill.

After a couple of more adjustment by the Back Cracker and I get the patio party over this weekend,I will step it back up.

I intend on cutting calories hard for around 4 weeks and then relaxing a little for a week.

I will watch for you as I travel down the road of fat loss, I hope I see you just ahead of me.

Letting the cat out of the bag is a whole lot easier than trying to put it back in.

Patio Party Time

Howdy from the land of BBQ and German potatoes!

Well this week is real busy. We are getting the final touches done on the patio and the wet back shack. Saturday is party time!

We are going to fire up the pit and doing some serious all day cooking.BBQ, beans and German potatoes.And a small jar of Crown.

Janet and I have worked hard on our little project and burned plenty of calories doing it so it is time to enjoy it some.You know the old saying--all work and no play makes Bill a cranky ass.

Watch for me while I travel along.

Be careful what you wish for , you might get it.

Partial Makeover

Howdy form the land of cheddar cheese and dragon flies!

I haven't been buying many clothes lately, but I broke down Saturday and picked up a couple of shirts and two pair of pants.

Janet helped me pick out the clothes because she has better taste than me but she still has a hard time convincing me on what to buy.Anyway, I bought and fit into a LARGE shirt.And bought 38" waist pants.

Now I ain't fit into those sizes in decades.This fat loss journey continues to amaze me.

On another, not so related, topic---have you seen the P90X commercials? Man what a workout.Mike the coon ass at work has been doing the workout with his two son's.Another prime time way to move more.

gotta run, see ya down the fat loss road.

Today is the day!

Howdy from the land of blue sky and green grass!

Today is the day, yep it is the day I get on down the fat loss road a little farther.

A year ago I would not have said that. A year ago I would still be looking toward tomorrow. TOMORROW is the fat man's friend. I will start eating right TOMORROW. I will start walking TOMORROW.

That my friends is a crock of cold cat crap.

Today is all we got and today is the day I get to make some choices---good---bad---indifferent---today.

Today I am gonna walk my Full Pak Trac, yesterday I walked 3 1/2 miles instead of 2 1/2 miles. Wasn't too bad, but I ran out of time on my lunch hour.Today it is gonna be 2 1/2 miles and tonight I'm doing some Turbulence exercises--today.

The best part , for me,about making a good choice is that I feel , well, good. When I make a not so good choice I am getting to where I don't beat myself up. I just move to a better choice.

Last week I went to get me a bite of chocolate at mid-afternoon. I get one bite from a jar down the hall. Satisfies my cravings and has less than 40 calories. Anyway , in the bowl was a bite size candy that has coconut in white/chocolate/strawberry flavors. Well, I took that for the day and ate it.Maybe, you will say, that is not a good choice---I say it was. The taste took me back to my childhood when I used to eat the full size candy bars in that flavor (I can't remember the name).

Man what a mind full of memories that brought up, some great, some not so great. All those memories and a craving killer for just 40 calories---what a deal. Point is I handled it and moved on to better choices.

Today I think I will eat a couple of spicy olives.Good choice.

Never miss a chance to shut up.

Renewable Energy

Howdy from the land of post oak trees and bumble bees!

Well today is Monday, June 1,2009,and this morning it is humid and hot. I got a good sweat going on my Full Pak Trac at lunch.

I had a recommendation to post some pics of my blog and I plan on working on that pretty soon.

Yesterday evening, me and Janet were sitting on the patio looking at our handy work and I got to thinking of all the work we have done in the backyard in the last 3-4 months.A year ago this amount of work would have killed me. Now I get tired and sore still, but yesterday I worked pretty good for around 10 hours.

When I would run out a gas I would sit down for 5 minutes and feel pretty good. Best of all after 5 minutes I would get antsy to do some more and get up off my ass and go at it.I wish I had a way to measure how much more energy I have now , compared to two years ago. It is alot.

Seems the more fat I lose the more I want to lose. And the more I move the more I want to move.

I guess I should post a pic of the patio when I get yer finished so you folks can see the effect of renewable energy.

Now if Obama would just send me some stimulus money for material I would be happier than a dog with a bone.

See ya down the road.Watch for me melting when I come by.
