Felt good to get back into the gym tonight. Took too much time off after my Labor Day weekend vacation. Love the fact that my arms are shaking. LOL

I've set a goal of 260 by New Years, so that's about 30-35 lbs. Do-able, in my opinion. I'd like to be down to 230-225 by June of 2015. Also do-able, if I stick to the...

Starting to realize that I may have more acquaintances here than actual friends. Not sure what happened. A few years ago, I was running all over the city with different people. Now? Plans made only to be cancelled on.

This exchange happened today via text message:

Friend - "You doing anything for the game?"

Me - "Not really, want to go somewhere and watch?"

Friend...

Hope everyone had a great holiday weekend. What kind of trouble did you get into?

I spent the weekend in the windy city, Chicago. I have friends from all walks of life, my Chicago ones are the clubbing type, so that's what we did. Safe to say I was the only really BEARDED guy wherever we went. Yeah, there was some facial hair, beards real...

I'm in a fucking fantastic mood. Can't remember the last time I've felt this good. Both my ice hockey teams are kicking ass, people are commenting how much better I look since I've started working out, clothes are looser, closed out my mortgage refinance. The only thing, the ONLY thing, is that I'm pretty sure I'm friendzoned by a girl that I've been out with...

I should know better. I wouldn't want some dude interfering with my relationship, long distance or not. I really need to back-off. What goes around comes around. I haven't done any damage thus far, but jesus... what am I thinking?

Wrong head, moron!

Other than that... down 21 lbs since Memorial Day. Have rarely missed a workout. Diet could use some improvements, but overall, it's...

Well, figured that putting myself out there on sites like Plenty of Fish, Ok Cupid and Match would be the best way to get over my ex-gf. Then I decided, I don't give a fuck right now. This summer is my summer. I've always been shy about going to a pool, taking my shirt off in public (at a pool...OMG... overweight dude!), but today, I...

Down another 4 lbs on my weigh-in yesterday. Started at roughly 319, I'm down to 305 since Memorial Day. I've had 1 soda in the last three weeks and absolutely no soda in over 2 weeks. I don't miss it. Diet could be better, but my eating out is way, way down and my eating better is way, way up. It's hard changing habits you've...

Moved on to Week 4 Day 1 of Couch to 5k. Couldn't finish the last 5 minute run all the way through, I had to break it up. I also had my weigh-in this morning. No change on the scale, but I can definitely tell a difference in the way my clothes fit. That's all I can ask for

Hope everyone is awesome in SG land.

I had my weigh in yesterday. 1 week since I decided it was time to take eating and exercise a little more seriously in my life. Dropped 9 lbs. I know it's probably just "water weight", but still... 9 lbs is 9 lbs. I even managed to have a couple nights where I just let loose and didn't...
