You've probably guessed this was coming... but I'm going to have to take a mulligan on the weight this month and half of next month until I get back from vacation. Imagine that!  Fatty's been eating gourmet meals all month and hasn't done anything about his weight!  I could explain, but it's just going to sound like "bleah bleah bleah excuse, bleah bleah excuse, bleah excuse."  So I'll just save myself the embarrassment.

It's like when you're standing on the championship tees (when in fact you should be driving from the ladies' tees) and you just hook a golf shot so badly that it not only goes over the out-of-bounds fence, it goes past the two lane road besides it, past 100 feet of someone's front yard and and hits the head of the dog sleeping on the porch.  The dog is startled, looks at the golf ball in front of him and says "WTF?!?"  It's just best not to say anything, just let your friends laugh at you, pick up another ball and move on. 

I still want to get to 225 by the end of the year.  That' still only a pound a week, and fairly doable.  Shoot.  I can lose 5lbs after a decent bowel movement.  I'm hoping my ankle feels a little better in a few weeks so I can start working out.

BTW, apologies to those who have left comments on my blog the past week or so.  I changed some settings on my blog and I didn't realize I had comments.

JOKE

Chris Rock is one of my favorite stand-up comedians:

People are starving all over the world, what do you mean, "Red meat will kill you"? Don't eat no red meat? No, don't eat no green meat! If you're one of the chosen few people in the world lucky enough to get your hands on a steak, bite the s**t out of it!

My kind of guy!
