I didn't notice a thing...maybe you need to say it agagin

Here's a hint...copy the text and paste it into word...look for the red squigglies of the misspelled words.

...and here I thought you were ignorning me about the pics....

I guess I don't play well with others cause I didn't even TRY to figure out the code...

Are you in the Mafia? A simple yes or no will do.

Maybe

Alright Folks, I have all the answeres. If you just pm me I will fill you in who he truly is.

I am in the know now. I feel priviledged and the hard work of solving all these clues has paid off.

[dede4wd]

I'm feeling dumber and dumber, I haven't gotten a one yet! Dumb as a box of rocks, I am!

I'm so happy about your NSV's and your soon-to-be smoking victory against your weight-loss foe!

Day 77 - Milestone

Had a quick regular visit to the Dr's office today. I am officially 11 Weeks in and 60lbs down...at least on the Dr.'s scale I am in the 60lb. club. My scale this morning showed 59. All of which means today has started off considerably better than yesterday. Yesterday, while my compliancy to MF was fine my work day went from bad to worse incrementally throughout the day. There were a few high points such as sending out a flurry of PM's to all of those people that solved yesterday's puzzle. So congrat's go out to those that persevered and now know "the rest of the story."

To those still out in the dark well all I can say is stay tuned to this bat channel and you just may see another little puzzle pop up. And for anyone that has solved the "red letter" puzzles if you haven't PM'd me for the rest of the story give me a shout with the answer to the puzzle and I will get you in the know.

So that's that....It's Friday, another week for the history books....almost 3 months into this journey and I am feeling good. The NSV's are piling up the SV's are coming in decent intervals which keeps me focused and motivated...no serious derailments, okay so the trolley jumped the track in Vegas. But "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas"....or...it shows up on the internet. So far I haven't seen the videos leaked....so I think I'm safe.

Well, with the holiday weekend I am not sure how much I will post to my journal so I hope everyone has a great 4th!

Random thoughts and other things....

True conversation heard on the street this week.
Man 1 - Hey man...what's goin' on....how you doin'
Man 2 - Man I am doin' great...just got tested for AID's and I'm clean!
I guess it's the small things in life that can make you happy.

An albino gecko can move faster than you think on carpet.
4 year old + golf club = lethal weapon
12 year + golf club = Dad, can I get golf shoes....do I need a sand wedge, I need to use Titlest balls cause Billy said those are the best....and ...and...
My grass seems to be greener when Uncle TOM visits...guess the lawn is retaining water as well.
Pssst....Vicky if you PM me I will give you a hint on the puzzles.
Pssst....DeDe hit me up on YM and I can give you a hint or two as well.
60 lbs lighter in 11 weeks that means I am melting at a rate of .0005411 lbs/hour

So that means....

My muffin tops are shrinking....

See Ya!

Umm where are you hanging out that you would hear this on the steet?

[lilgorg]

so i just read your post about having too much salmon...yikes! i have mucho salmon EVERY week! i have it a minimum of 3 times a week...i can't get enough of it. are we really not supposed to have it that much?

[wildtrk]

Salmon is in the low to moderate range for mercury. Typically you should limit yourself to 2 servings a week. And if you are an Orange roughy or shark fan....one serving.

Day 78

Saturday...The weekend is here! Though I got my start yesterday playing 18 holes of golf in the afternoon. Need to do a few errands then it is out to the pool for a little swimming and then watching a baseball game in the late afternoon.

Time to focus and stay as compliant this weekend and on the 4th. BBQ's will be ever present. Just need to stay focused on my goal. Still want to drop 20 lbs. by the time we leave on our family vacation in August.

Hope Everyone has a great weekend....

A couple of shout outs...

Ark..hope things went well for you yesterday. Not sure if Akron is big enough for us two shrinking MF'ers.

DeDe...Here is to wishing lots of healthy success on the 4th when you quit smoking! I am sure that you will be successful with that like you have MF. oh BTW hubba hubba!

Ktrout....when have you been? Haven't seen many posts by you lately...am I just missing them?

Keep it all in perspective people. MF is not life and death but it could mean the difference between how long or how fast for one or the other.

Hope everyone celebrates the 4th with a "Bang"!

Day 79

Seems like my schedule has been changed upteen times. Hard to plan shales, bars and L & G's when that happens. Got on the scale this morning and was happy to see that I am officially in the 60lb club on all scales concerned....both the Doc's and the home scale now have me in the 60lb. club. So that means 10# and I will be posting up a few pictures.
It also means that I am nearing my halfway point. I suspect that the second half won't be quite as easy as the first half. First of all I have 2 vacations planned in the next 6 weeks. One short and one a full week. I have no delusions of staying compliant at a all inclusive beach resort in a foreign country. So the best I can do is keep it going until that point and then deal with the situation as best as I can.

But for now on with the show!


Random musing...

When a four year old busts out "Hey white guy" This is not racist remark...it's just he didn't know their name and the person he was trying to get the attention of and they were wearing a white shirt.

Kids athletic leagues can be more political and petty than anything than the U.S. Congress can come up with.

My 12 year old is aware that his baloney has a first name....he just isn't quite sure of the last.

When you hand a 4 year old an albino gecko to hold...the command "don't squish him" should immediately be given.

Here's to the second half of the year and losing the other 50% of my goal

and to keep....

My muffin tops shrinking!


Peace

[dede4wd]

Happy 50%! Yay!

[MISSANNE]

I am dying! You are too funny!

Although, I'm lost on all the clues!

Day 80

I am going to keep this short today. Working a half day which helps to keep me compliant. Tomorrow being the 4th compliancy will be an issue with a bbq that I am planning to attend. Hoping that I can at least stick mainly to a L&G meal at the bbq. Portions may be a little skewed but I will make an effort to stay the course.

I need to drink more water! There I said it....this is the biggest problem that I have. I do fine for a day then terrible for the next three. It is not like I am substituting water for diet coke or something else....I am just not getting enough fluids. This is something that I really need to concentrate on.

As of last week I started introducing a minimal amount of exercise, walking about 30-35 minutes in the evening. I plan to keep this up and see if this helps me maintain my consistent weight loss.

Random Thoughts...

If I sell my children on eBay and do a 2 for 1 sale is that considered fee circumvention?

If I include shipping in the final sales price do you think it will attract more bidders?

National hoilday's should only fall on Monday's or Friday's.

9.5 lbs until I post up some pics

so that everyone can see...

That my Muffin Tops are shrinking!

Later tater'

Day 82

Okay...the 4th is behind me without much damage. I did splurge a little yesterday but tried to maintain the best I could. I wasn't 100% compliant but the scale treated me all right this morning, so apparently no harm, no foul. Or it was that I know exactly where to place the scale on the floor and position the feet juuust right in order to get me that extra 1/2 lb off that I need just bring a little smile on my face. Come on....don't laugh, I know there are more of you out there who do this as well.

Anyway...it's a Wednesday, that feels like a Monday, and Friday seems to be 2 weeks away. If that makes sense to anyone then you must be located somewhere near me in the state of delusional madness.

Random Thoughts....

My 4 year old informed me last night that is was "a long week today!"
Never imply...even the slightest bit, that you may let your child do something, and then not let them do it for whatever the valid reason you have. Beware tears will ensue!
Rest assured that all of those things you would ever like to forget are the first things that get brought up in front of your spouse when an old friend comes to visit.
After having an old friend visit I have added more items to the "things that I would like to forget" list that I am keeping.
BTW, Seredipity...nice to see you back on the forum, and congratulations on your compliant vacation. (compliant vacation...that is a lot like military intelligence, two words that just don't belong next to each other in a sentence.)

Okay that's all there is today...hope every one is a loser today...

And that there Muffin Tops are shrinking...'cause mine sure are!

See ya on the scale!
