My dear Bro, Kent...

Kent called me out...I'm still here. You know ... I haven't had chocolate chips and peanut butter in forever!!!! Thanks for reminding me ;)

I've remained faithful to my 4:30 am alarm and 5:00 am gym time. It's getting easier now, I'm back "in the groove" in many ways so it's not quite so embarassing walking around in there. The weight lifting has come back pretty easily, but I still hate cardio of any kind. My philosophy is that if I'm neither chasing or being chased - I see no point in running. LOL

Oh, bridal selections. I remember those days. Word of advice to you my brother--there is NOTHING about this wedding that is YOUR decision, so embrace that fact and enjoy it. Women have an amazing way of tricking you into believing that some of the decisions are yours...but really they are not. I'm positive they use subliminal messaging and any other means necessary. I realized in my wedding process that weddings are entirely for women, the bride and the mother...the reception is for the men. No offense intended ladies -- it's nature. So Kent...let Sarah make this the best day of her life - she deserves it - you just remember to show up on time ;)

Back to the issue at hand -- my eating habits. I have drastically changed them as a result of this effort. However, I despise not eating what and when I want. I love food. I enjoy everything from the flavors to feeling of utter immobility after a good buffet. So, some of you health nuts give me some ideas on healthy eating. If anyone mentions tofu, bean sprouts, or any other tasteless commodities -- I will quit. Give me some real ideas of tasteful food, that won't cause immediate weight gain. The BBQ Chicken pizza someone gave earlier -- that was GREAT!!!! I loved it and would enjoy eating that any time, regardless of health concerns. It was just good. So come on now peeps...give me some ideas of GOOD, healthier foods. I refuse to eat packing peanuts and lemon water forever.

That's all for now -- I'm off like a prom dress.

  1. Cook, if you would read my recipe blogs you wouldn't be so hurting for recipes right now. But alas, you skip them and only look for pictures :)

    Also, broil fish with a few seasonings and a little olive oil or canola oil. Broiling gives the fish a nice crisp and taste without being unhealthy.

  2. Hahahaha! Touche! But not true...I read every word of the blog...everything from adopting a child to a pink dress :) Your recipes are usually far too "intensive" for me. But I do read them...and may try one. While I would very much enjoy dining at your table, I don't have time to do the cooking :) So, I'll just enjoy YOUR cooking when I finally get up there and get a hold of that little man of yours! ;)

  3. Fair enough. Also, I was trying to lighten up the blog after the adoption post. Too light? :)
