Year 2 Week 42 Day 1

Okay, so I suffered my Seasonal Affected Disorder a little early this year. Yep, was a bit sad last update. As proven by the gain of five more pounds the next week. So you'll see that there was no update last week as I worked through my issues.

Back and better than ever this week, went hard on the diet and exercise program last week and was back to 308.4 lbs this morning.

Also so a fun, familiar kind of movie last night, "RED" with Bruce Willis being Bruce and a cast that wins Oscars rocking and rolling to a good if not great story. So that was a nice way to end a weekend that included a Miss State win over a ranked opponent for the second week in a row (Houston was ranked right?) and a Vikings win in the face of Brett Favre proving that forty is the new douche bag.

Still it was a struggle again this week. With the hardcore diet there's not much room for eating crap and getting up to exercise in the morning is painful. Still getting over some dude in Mableton, Ga winning MY lottery a few weeks ago. Man, I had plans for that money.

The money thing is sorting itself out. Luckily as long as I keep earning I can manage to keep ahead. For some reason winter does seem to be my worst financial times. Maybe overspending for my birthday and then Thanksgiving and Christmas meals in the past were part of it. Shouldn't be a problem this year though. Either way, got past the car expenses a few weeks after and without jacking up my credit cards either, so that's okay.

So keeping with the plan I'll be working out at least four days this week and holding to the diet for five, with a notation to eat better on the Saturday and Sunday. Getting some new places to eat in Newnan and I'll be testing them out, Thai and Pizza places. With the cut down on eating out and calories I am getting pickier about the crap I do eat so no more fast-food pizza and no burger places.

Going to try to pay down the Dell and maybe pay it off before year end, then the Wells Fargo which could be gone by next February. The real work starts on the big three after that paying off Visa, Amex and Discover by 2012. I still think I could cut most of my cable, home phone and some other expenses to get there quicker, but damn I love crappy TV programs.

I do seem to thrive in the winter so hopefully this is the start of a good run.

Later.
