Update From The Front

Status Report on the Battle of the Bulge:

I've lost 8.5 pounds in the last 10 days. This may be from better dietary choices, or from ketosis -- I don't know, because I haven't bought ketosticks yet. Doing that today. I already hit the carb hangover phase, and cleared it faster than the first time I did this, in January.

In theory, for me to get back to the body I had before I put on all of the weight from working at Friday's Front Row, I need to get back to 209 lbs, which was the plateau I hit before coming off Atkins in May. My goal this time is to surpass that, getting to 200 lbs or lower by December 15. (Yes, I know -- the road for this weight loss drives squarely through Thanksgiving. I'm still confident I can do it.)

Happy Halloween. I would be more excited about the holiday, but I didn't have any real motivation to do any good costume. Since I'm working as a karaoke DJ tonight, I can't trot out Silent Bob again, and any other costume would just be half-hearted.

Maybe I could dress up as a missile wearing camouflage, with "Weapon of Mass Destruction" stenciled across my chest. Scream out when someone "finds" me. Damn, I wish I had thought of this on Monday.

Wear jeans, a rock shirt or white t-shirt, roll up some fake blunts, put your ball cap on backwards and be Jay instead. :)
He's cut his hair off, has a tan, and put on weight, so it'll work. :)

I love your Silent Bob costume. I <3 Kevin Smith. I was never so disappointed as when I found out that he married Jennifer. Happy that he's happy I guess, but still, DARN!
