Recent Developments

Greetin's Ya'll,

There have been some recent developments in my life that I think you all should know. (it’s only 1300 words, jeez)

The first story involves fear, heartache, depression, and boredom.

The second story involves great joy, jubilation and just a little discharge, and is the single greatest thing to happen to me this year.

I'll tell you the bad news first so you when you are finished reading this post you will feel good.

(Deep breath)

I was watching my big T.V on Christmas day when all of the sudden I lost the signal on the second satellite. I remember getting chills of fear running down my back. I immediately (by immediately I mean about 4 hours later because I was napping) started first aid on my beloved Tivo, checking wires, looking outside to see if it was raining or if Godzilla was just standing there like some jerk-ass blocking my signal. I then hit the direct TV web site for some other first aid. After doing what there web site said to do, I lost the signal on the first satellite. So now I have no signal what so ever. “What the hell am I going to do now?" I thought. I then felt really sad and even shed a tear or 2, my tivo just died I thought, I then felt a pain in my chest, I thought “Oh God my heart was actually breaking”, but then I farted and the pain went away and I had to leave the house.

The bad news is that my Direct TV/ with Tivo receiver is sick and I mean really sick. Seriously, like, on it death bed sick, I am not fooling around. I talked to the paramedics (there customer service peeps) last night, we tried some other first aid but had not luck in bringing her back to life. The Doctor won't be able to admit her to the hospital until Saturday from 8-noon.

So in the mean time I am forced to watch what I have saved on her memory (which is all of the Lost episodes from earlier this year, Mission Impossible 3, and Its a Wonderful Life). Or, and this is the worst part, watch my 27" CRT television in my guest room. Going from my super Awesome 51" T.V. (where I always skip the commercials) to watching a crappy 27" T.V. with rabbit ears and having to sit though the commercials is like going from flying the Space Shuttle to driving a crappy Ford Pinto! I mean seriously what am I a Neanderthal?

Please pray for my beloved Direct T.V. with Tivo Receiver.

There will be no need to start a fund this time.

(Seriously it’s a problem with the wiring from the Satellite dish that is on the back of the garage to the receiver its self. But I am still bored out of my mind having to watch commercials. Seriously WTF is up with the commercials these days?)

***************************************

Now on to the good news, or I should say the MOST AWESOME NEWS EVER!!!!

Many if not all of you know that I have been on a diet since September 1st I started walking 4 miles a day, from my house down to Mill Creak Park and back. On that date I was 235 pounds (yes still down from my fattest of 250 pounds when I moved back to from Saint Louis)

I then joined a gym on October 1st just from the walking and eating right I had lost 15 pounds (220 lbs for the math challenged, and yes I did use a calculator to figure that, so what?) not too shabby I remember thinking.

So I set some goals to reach specific weights on specific dates. None of which I reached, I don’t know if they were just over ambitious goals or what. But with my work schedule (because of the project I was working on), the holidays, birthdays, fantasy football, and my buddy Mr. Awesome needing some one to get loaded with, I just could not keep up the schedule of working out 6 days a week.

But every time I got on the scale there was progress a few pounds this week a few more the next, then there would be a set back where I would put on a few pounds. Not a big deal I thought weight loss is like that. I knew what I was getting in to when I started this, I was totally prepared for the set backs, at least mentally I was prepared for them.

So on December 1st I was at 211 lbs. When I was doing this the first time around 2 years ago that was the weight I was when I had to quite the gym for financial reasons.

I set the final goal weight for the year. It was my most ambitious goal yet, but I thought I could make it even with the holidays just around the corner, plus the fact that it was only 3 weeks until Christmas and I knew I would have to eat at my moms more that a few times.

As I was driving home that day I remember thinking to my self “Holy crap man, what are you thinking? Have you lost your mind!? You can’t lose that much weight in only 4 weeks, you have haven’t done it yet so what makes you think you can do it now?”

I’m not going in to details as to what I said to my self after that tyraid but lets just say that I am pretty hard on my self when I start talking to myself like that. (No I am not crazy, everyone talks to them selves, and it’s a scientific fact)

So I set the goal. I could see it, I could taste it, I even anticipated my reaction, (which I was totally wrong about), and I was bound and determined to accomplish at least this one goal. So with pin point laser accuracy I set a weekly goals (hey, you have to make the playoff before you win the Superbowl, right?) a few pounds this week a few more next week and so on. One phrase that I kept using is “weight lose is a marathon NOT a sprint”

I kept pushing even on days when I did not feel like going to they gym (which, on those days I would have the best workouts)

(Now your thinking, “Holy Mollie!! How long it this mo-fo going to talk?”

Shut up! I am almost finished)

The goal was 200 pounds before New Years Day.

I was totally prepared to stay home on New Years doing push-ups, crunches and what ever else I could to make the weight on that date.

Today, December 28, 2006 at 12:46 p.m. central standard time. I “The D” weighted in at….

(Drum roll)

One hundred ninety- seven and three quarters pounds

197¾ lbs

Stop!!! Read that again. Look at it, I SAID LOOK AT IT!!

I WEIGHT UNDER 2OO POUNDS!!! UNDER 200 POUNDS!!! PEOPLE, DO YOU REALIZE WHAT THIS MEANS?!! DO YOU?!!!! YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THIS MEANS TO ME. AFTER ALL THE B.S. AND THE MISSED GOALS BY JUST 2 OR 3 POUNDS!!!!

O.K., O.K. lets all keep our heads, now lets just all calm down. I SAID CALM DOWN!!!

This is the single greatest accomplishment I have ever achieved!! Seriously, you have no idea what I put my self though to get here.

I just want to thank all of you for you encouragement and kind words. They mean more to me than you will ever know. Except for Bill he’s a jerk.

One last thing, don’t call me Big D any more.

I am The D and I am AWESOME!!
