132
I weighed in at 132 this morning which means I’ve lost 13 pounds since January 1st.
I meant to mention this guy a while ago, but this guy at my gym has the biggest goddamn feet I’ve ever seen on someone his height. I think if he isn’t my height, he MIGHT be an inch taller. His sneakers have got to be a size 15 or larger. I swear they look like clown shoes on the guy as they’re real thick and heavy looking. I don’t know how he doesn’t trip all over the place trying to lift them high enough to take a proper step. It’s the goofiest thing to see.
Another story: Yesterday, two guys were partnering up for their weight lifting. I don’t know what they were doing because I had my back turned on them, but all I could hear was a lot of grunting and the other guy saying, "Is that all you can do? Is that all you have? C’mon that’s all you can do? You can do another."
The grunter says, "You had me on the f*cking stairmaster for 30 minutes before this, and you want more out of me? You ran me into the ground on that thing."
I don’t know, I thought that was funny and nearly busted out laughing. I smiled instead.
Final story: My youngest son is the worst negotiator in the world. In the past, I tell him things like that he can go to bed at 8:15 instead of 8:00. He’ll come back saying "How about 7:30."
So yesterday when he got home from school, he asked for a granola bar. These kids go through those things like locusts, so I have to ration them out if they’re going to last longer than a day.
Anyway, I told him he already had one so that’s it. He said, "No I didn’t, I had two today!"
Well, there, now you’re really not getting anymore at all, I tell him.
My oldest son says to him in a low voice, "You went too far with that. If you had just told her one, you probably could’ve talked her into getting another, but you blew it."
My youngest catches on and is all "Aw MAAAN."

I think my son will either be a great used car salesman, senator or hostage negotiator. He has some interesting skills too!

Both of the stories of your son had me rolling! OH MAN! Do you laugh when he says these things or keep a straight face?
Anyway, out-freakin-standing job on the weight loss. You realize your becoming an inspiration on bodyspace, right? Im doing cardio more, but only for 20 min and possibly burning 250cal a session. So Im HALF way to your level. So all I say to you is: DAMN!
Your awesome. Keep them stories coming.
