Prior to wading into the world of blog, I occasionally entertained (myself) with rhyming poems, ditties. One such effort proposed a personal weight loss program; 23 pounds in 23 months. As the 23rd month (June) rapidly approaches, I must provide two pertinent corrections, with apologies for my poor proofreading skills. I thorough review of my notes reveals that I intended to lose 2.3 pounds in 23 years. Obviously, any more accelerated wight loss program would be dangerously unhealthy.
I am happy to report I am well on my way towards meeting my intended goal!
No, I'm kidding. (I'm a kidder.)
I am pleased and proud to report that I have lost 23 pounds during my winter here in Sunny Florida! I did it the old fashioned way; less food, more excercise. No liposuction or amputations involved. Daily beach time has proved beneficial since alcohol is discouraged (it's illegal), and the seagulls make it very uncomfortable to eat since they are inclined to pester and steal food.
An almost daily regimen of 100 crunches and a 4 mile walk with Geeg (who also is losing weight) also contribute to my success.
I've not yet been mistaken for Brad Pitt, perhaps because I can't grow a mustache. A description of "ripped" is probably a gross exaggeration, but I have lost most of my Buddah Belly. Alas, I remain pleasantly plump, but the new life style should provide more positive results.

Way to go, Dad! I trust you have been wearing copious amounts of sunblock every day too?

If it helps with your progress, I can start calling you fat-ass!

I'm here to help. I'm a helper.
Thanks for 3 positive responses.
ReplyDeleteKirk - Please (bug) off.
I'll be back soon to supervise your lawn mowing.
Now what an unusual relationship Kirk and Pop have; I am sure experts in the mental health field would have a 'heyday' with the two of you. You both may have deeper rooted problems that you never released before because you never felt safe.. now you two feel safe saying these things..
