Week 10 Weigh-in

by Rick September 28, 2009

It’s POURING rain outside, and I’m grinning ear to ear. I lost SEVEN pounds this week for a grand total of 40 pounds in 10 weeks. That’s as much as this big assed rat carved out of cheese! SWEET IRONY! (photo redacted) Anyways, after my gain last week, I’ve decided on a new weigh-in routine! [...]

In true Virgo style, I’m taking care of the details — checking the weather report, making sure I’ve got meals [...]

Power of Positive Thinking

by Rick September 17, 2009

I used to mopey, really mopey. And entirely pissed off. When I was a young(er) lad in High School (I still am a young lad), I was annoyed, and I never even knew it. It all stemmed from my hatred of (most of) school. I’m a smart guy, and never minded the work, but studying [...]
