So, my brother is at the Notre Dame – USC game in South Bend tonight. Beerbrother was invited to give a speech there yesterday, and instead of a per diem he accepted tickets to the game. I asked him if he spit on the Joe Theismann statue, and he responds that he actually met him…and asked him about his Argos career.

All kidding aside, when in South Bend, you take the tour of the field.

    

The hotel where he’s staying is full of USC fans, so he asked me for the worst thing he could say that would guarantee the most offense. I said to wait in a line for something and then ask, “Is this the line to work a train on Aunt Becky’s daughter? Because, I can pay.”

There appear to be a fair number of lopsided-looking contests tomorrow, so that doesn’t bode well for the viewing experience. As for that Wasington-Miami, WOOF! It might be time for CBS to try that one-off where NBC had no announcers. It was Jets-Dolphins, but Washington is just as suckable.

If I could draw I’d do one of Trump pissing on a Kurdish flag (do they have a flag?) and another of him hurling a lawyer-looking guy under a bus.

It seems dangerous to include anyone other than Trump in these paintings (i.e. John Bolton) cause they all end up either quitting or getting fired.

If you're down on yourself for not exercising or not eating well or not getting enough sleep or not doing some other thing understood by science to be healthful, you should know I do all of those things and constantly feel like I'm dying

Has anyone mentioned how much this PG&E thing reeks of 2000 when Enron was blacking out California because it could (and somehow kinda sorta didn’t even make them money)

Flyers shootout losses are so automatic at this point that I don’t even bother watching them

Wakezilla

Venting some frustration:

Why is losing weight harder than gaining weight? It’s such bullshit.

I have an outside shot of meeting my new Year’s resolution goals by the end of December, but with how things are going lately, I’ll probably reach my goal in early-mid February. (I have 28 pounds to go).

I didn’t start taking my weight loss seriously until June because I had more urgent and pressing things to attend that required a more sedentary Wakezilla. Also, I threw out my back 3 times this year, which didn’t help.

Anyway, the past month, I trained like a god damn pro athlete and I lost “just” 10 pounds. ( That’s not a lot when you weigh north of 240). With that said, I have lost a ton of inches.

The thing is, I need surgery and my doctor told me he wouldn’t operate on me until I was at least 220. I have my why and reason, but it is also difficult to go balls to the wall when a lot of movements hurt, which I just fight through the pain.

My current setback is I have a strained hamstring.i suspect it’s from running 7km when it was -8 outside. Lesson learned, just…. Frustrated

Unsurprised

Even if you don’t hit your goal, you’re getting close. I’ve officially regained all the weight I lost last year and almost all of it – the last 40 – was regained in the last six months. I gained weight in summer somehow.

So, at least you’re doing better than me and a lot of other people. But you’re still working to better yourself, and that’s what’s most important.

Keep working dude. I’m in the same fat boat. We have to live to see the LA Olympics.

1
Unsurprised

It’s great that you’ve lost inches and probably gained muscle training, though. That’s really good for the long term. But diet’s at least 75% of losing weight and I know that can be frustrating as Hell. I stress eat and that’s what’s killing me. But you also have to make sure that you don’t wreck yourself worse trying to stay on track. Strained hammies and back going out three times is a lot. I get it, but I pulled a muscle in my back doing squats in August 2009 and I still get reminders of it every so often.

If it’s an option, take up swimming. Risk of injury is basically nonexistent.

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is over. And I didn’t cry once.

Okay, now I’m crying but they showed a scene from “You’re in My Head Like a Catchy Song” with Applejack’s parents. That’s this show’s version to “Seymour waiting for Fry to return”. That one scene where once you know what it is, you’ll tear up when you see it.
