As the Fat Turns…

As the Fat Turns…

That’s a random title if I ever saw one! I just liked the way it sounded and wanted to post something real quick since it’s been a while. Things have been extremely busy, so I have neglected blogging for a while. I finally have things under control, I think, and will be able to blog [...]

Guy Things To Do Before You Die

Guy Things To Do Before You Die

Every guy has a list. We as men have an inherit obsession with lists. We are programmed to respect the priority and organization that the all Holy List provides. Moses introduced all brethren of the world to the original and ultimate list when he returned from Mt. Sinai with the Ten Commandments.
One of the lists [...]

In today’s world on online advertising, Google has become like McDonalds. Around every corner there’s an unholy blue “G” staring you down. They have controlled and dominated advertising online for years and will continue to do so for a long time.
However, Google has let a lot of us down time after time. We have watched [...]

I’m Tired

As I sit hear I can’t help but notice how tired I have been this week. I feel drained. It’s probably due to my new cardio exercise routine and my lack of sufficient sleep. Yep, that’s probably it. This weekend I’m going to attempt to recharge my battery with some much needed sleep and some [...]

Lazy College Kid with No Workout Routine

Lazy College Kid with No Workout Routine

I know this college kid that is extremely lazy when it comes to working out. He doesn’t do any kind of exercise and wishes that he was muscular and diesel. The guy can’t even do one push up! Don’t get me wrong, when I first started out I couldn’t do any push ups either. I [...]

Am I Too Fat for Health Insurance?

Am I Too Fat for Health Insurance?

Last night I rented the movie SiCKO by Michael Moore. I had heard about it a few months ago but didn’t think to go see it at the theater. I usually deem movies DVD worthy then wait for their release to rent them via Block Buster Video. Anyway, I knew what it was about and [...]

My Fat, Happy Buddy George

My Fat, Happy Buddy George

I often think back to how happy I thought I was during my non-healthy living days. I would always feel happy when I ate food, or did whatever I wanted. It was all a cover up though. Recently an online friend of mine sent me this email, he gave me permission to post it. I [...]

Losing Comment Spam, Gaining Comments

I have officially received over 1000 spam comments. Luckily I enabled Askimet early on and it has blocked a majority of them. I guess my blog is not only helping me lose fat, but spam too. Darned spammers boil my blood.
That’s pretty darned sweet if you ask me. I have also broken the 1000 comment [...]

Yes, that’s right. I have man boobs. I may not be proud of them, but I have enough guts to show them off to the world. The only reason I am displaying my man boobs is because I want to feel pressured into losing them. I have had my man boobs, or moobs, for a [...]

It’s been a few weeks since I started this whole lifestyle change and one thing I noticed was that my dirty laundry has grown tremendously.
