***RED ALERT***RED ALERT***RED ALERT***RED ALERT***
Intelligence reports show enemy activity within our camp.  We have been compromised and betrayed.  They have infiltrated us,’mass’ing inside us.  The only way to rid our troops of the enemy, is to actually attack ourselves.  Treason is only punishable by death.  After a surgical strike, we may have to resort to [...]

Monday, the 22nd, was the final weigh-in for ‘The Biggest Loser’ contest at work.  I knew I was not in the running for 1st place in the contest.  I figured I was not in 2nd, thought I had a good shot at 3rd.  I ended up in 4th place.  I found out that the difference [...]

Our goal is to lose 56 pounds.  We have lost 23.5 pounds, just 4.5 pounds short of the halfway point.  Phase 2 of the diet does see a much more gradual weight loss.  I have been averaging about 2 pounds per week on phase 2.  That pace means about 15 more weeks of phase 2.  [...]

There are so many things to say, so many ways to say them, and none of this is going to be eloquent at all. So I will start with Star Trek.  How could I go wrong with that?

Resistance has been stiff, to say the least. We have been attacked by DTS award luncheons, birthday parties, Mike Sherman losing the Aggies season opener, more carbs than we can count, and the enemy has won this battle. There are casualties, but no weight loss this week. Our intelligence sources state that [...]

Today I am in Aggie colors.  Today is wear your team colors to work day.  This is in honor of the college football season starting.  I figured Aggie colors are better than Texas Ranger colors.  They are my other favorite team, but are tanking after the All-Star break.  That happens an awful lot.  Many co-workers [...]

The beachhead is certainly secure. The battle is being waged a great distance away. We are safe here. The battle is still being fought, but are casualties are few. We have lost a total of about 16.5 pounds. We are one week into Phase 2 of the battle. We [...]

The invasion continues to go well, it has not been easy. Phase 1 of our attack has been a success. The beachhead has expanded, out waistline has not. We have met all objectives despite heavy, I mean really heavy, like fattening heavy, opposition. We have almost been overrun, but we did [...]

The invasion is going well. The beachhead has been secured and ground forces deployed. We have sustained very few casualties, but we did loose at least 8 pounds. We will keep up this offensive for one more week, then slow down our attacks, but we will not quit until we get to [...]
