Guess who's back.

To be sung in a Backstreet Boys style:

Everybody......yeah---ah.

Rock your body......Yeah----ah.

Everybody, rock your body right.....Atkins is back ALRIGHT!


That’s right baby. Back on the Atkins horse, and already down a cool 9 lbs after a couple of weeks of meat. Keep in mind that I always fill my pockets with rocks and wear big boots and a jacket for the first weigh in, but even still I’m very happy with the hard earned weight-loss. All week it was like people were coming out of the woodwork to offer me carb-loaded foods, but I was good, and I didn’t cheat once, even when presented with a chocolate chip muffin and some deliciuos looking cream cheese cake* in a five minute period. I’m feeling pretty proud of myself. Current weight = 84 kgs – 185 lbs. If I can get below 180, I’ll be happy. I think I’ll be able to do it before the ides of June.


Caught Star Wars over the weekend. I loved it. I don’t like to use the term “orgasmic” to describe many things…so I won’t use it here. But if I were a fan of the term, I would use it to describe how good the second half of the movie was. Since I’m not a fan of the term, I’ll go with my standard all-caps “AWESOME”.


I’ve been reading about/playing a lot of poker recently. This may scare some of my readers. I’m actually not too bad and am really seeing some profits in my recent play. (I believe anyone can get lucky and win money, but I have been slowly, and steadily building my bankroll.) Right now I’m hovering around $400, but applying some of the stuff I learned in the latest book I’ve read, I really felt my game was way better this past weekend than at any other point. It’s nice when you try new things and they work right away.



* (Should this read cream cheescake? Or maybe creamcheese cake? I feeling very anxious about my final decision.)
