Ok, so its been a LONG time since I’ve posted anything on this blog… so I’m going back to Fat Blogging… I met with an old friend from high school over the weekend, and she said, “You know, you look much fatter in your pictures than you do in real-life…” Which momentarily made me feel good,  until she said, “You’d look much better if you lost 20 lbs. though…”

Deflation.

In hindsight, she’s probably off by a good 30 lbs… I’m currently as fat as I’ve ever been. And coming home after Thanksgiving, I decided that I needed to do something about it. So I started walking and trying to cut back on the food.

So today I forgot to eat breakfast, but had a cup of coffee with non-dairy creamer and splenda. Lunch was a salad I purchased from Publix with two containers of Balsamic Vinegrette and I ate some spicy pistachio nuts that I bought at an organic food store. My afternoon snack was some watermelon. For dinner I had three turkey sandwiches (made from wheat bread and only one turkey slice, Canola Mayo on once slice only) I also had about 15 mini-pretzels. Washed it down with a Gatorade G2.

Also did a 3-mile walk in about an hour.

As you’ve probably noticed, I’ve been pretty bad about posting… But in my defense, I haven’t had an internet connection at my new home for over a month. Sure, I had access at work, or through my cellphone, but …. well… whatever.

Well, there goes another year… Welcome 2008. This is the year of the Rat for any of you knowledgable about Chinese Astrology… I’m not quite sure what that means for the coming year… but I thought you should know anyway.

2007 was a very disruptive year for me… It was full of changes, that I obviously wasn’t even clued into last year.

I’d just like to wish everyone a joyous holiday. I have my tree up, presents wrapped, and I’m finishing up my cleaning. My son should be in town some time around dinner time, so I have plenty of time to goof off.

I just got a couple of text messages wishing me a Merry Christmas… so I’m going to try sending out a bulk text message to all my co-workers and friends… isn’t technology great?

As we’re winding down the Christmas holiday, I can’t help but feel a tiny bit lonely. With these many days off, I should have went on a trip, or did something fun, but all I am doing is sitting around the house and cleaning. Sure, I guess that is a good thing, atleast I am productive, but it certainly doesn’t make a very good story to tell.

I’m on the train right now reflecting on this weekend. It started off my company Christmas party on Friday and ended with the NY Giants losing to the Washington Redskins.
