A step in the wrong direction....I didn't workout yesterday but I was fairly active and while I ate a crazy salad for lunch I did juice it up for dinner. So, why do we fall? So we can learn to pick ourselves up and get our butts to the gym, goat mountain, pool, work out mat, and maybe a few Tony Little's target training videos I can be retro-active. It's crunch time people! and jog time, and push up time....look you get the point. 3 days to loose 6+ lbs. Are you with me people!?

...On a slightly lighter note, I'm getting married in 4 days!!!!

Today's Activity:

The day is mine! I couldn't wait until tonight to post for today b\c as of this morning I broke 200! Now some of the more observant of you may have noticed I got my haircut in last nights picture...Even though it may look like they cut off 2 lbs. of mullet, I assure you that is not the case as I weighed myself immediately after(I had to know the weight of my hair...what a freak!). Although I would like to let you know how valuable mullets are on the black market...well technically it's the white market... ok, the white trash market. So as of this morning I am more than half way to my blog goal. Ok. I can't even be funny right now so let's go to the stats...
*UPDATE* I have some bad news...Sara and I gave into temptation tonight and did something we probably shouldn't have. 7 days until the wedding! It seemed like a good idea at the time but we'll have to see what consequences are waiting around the corner...Golden Spoon. I personally went with Peanut Butter Cup(didnt even know they had that) with Oreo bits while Sara went the coffee route(double mistake) and had cappuccino with cookie dough. For any of you who got nervous there...you know us better than that.


Day 16: 8-8-08

Days Remaining: 6

Weight: 198

Weight Misplaced So Far: 12 lbs.

Measurement: o_O

Today's Activity: I lost a dat somehow but last night I Swam with John(yah!) and some core exercises that brought back the haunting pain of the Supai...
...and then today for a little more painful nostalgia, I hit goat mountain with Sara.

Medic! We have 20 something male with inflammation primarily around the abdominal section and bubblebuttitis...Let's get him on an IV so we can monitor his food intake and see if we can't get him on a treadmill STAT!

Things have been really busy but it's no excuse. I have not worked out, taken a picture, or done a real blog since I've gotten back from camp. Not only that, but last night I ate after 10, and shortly there after, fell asleep...Could this be the beginning of the end? Will our unlikely, portly, hero conquer the army of fat deposits invading from all sides? Let's face it. It does not look good. Although the words of Samwise Gamgee(aka. Samwise the Brave) come to mind...

"I know. It’s all wrong. By rights we shouldn’t even be here. But we are. It’s like in the great stories, blog readers. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened. But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, captivated audience, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn’t. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something."

What am I holding on to...?

"That there’s some good in this world. And it’s worth fighting for. "

Tonight, Box and I will hike and I will do some ab work outs. My menu is pretty strict for the next week, but I will push on. And when I'm standing next to you and you can finally see the sun, it will shine out the clearer(free from obstruction).

Day 15: 8-6-08

Picture? oh right, picture...I totally have one right here....


right. I forgot to tell you...
I got stabbed in the chest in Havasupai...
sucks bro...

Please forgive me...I will edit this as I have more info, but unfortunately fat camp must not have been as effective as I hoped. Have been too busy\tired to workout since Sunday's hike which means I'm quickly unraveling my web of weight loss...





...Box and I laugh in the face of danger.











Chris, Box, and Sergio look hardcore but are actually shooting the cover for their country album being released at the end of August.

Got home from fat camp/bachelor party and felt great for about 3-4 hours...I lost 20 lbs. on the trip and gained 25 from the Yaki tacos and large quantity of fries consumed at Islands at our post "we finally got to shower" party and then the fever kicked in with the hurting and the sicking...yesterday consisted of crawling through work, having Scott fix the several rotated vertebrae in my back and the neck crack heard 'round the world, then driving to Pala Mesa to pick out light gels(this wedding is going to be so beautiful and fun btw) and sleeping for a little over 10 hours.
Yesterday was a day of recovery, but we're back to work again today(perfect example of wishing you could save your sick days for when you're feeling better)....anyways, expect a fat guy pick by the end of tonight, and if there's time, hopefully some video/pics from Fat Camp '08
