A New Year, A New Challenge
Well, it’s the start of a new year, amature driver night is behind us, and hopefully "Tom from work" didn’t make a pass at you or your significant other, barf all over the place, pass out in the middle of the floor, wake up, and with an astounding amount of vomit-breath tell you how much they love you and you’re the only one that understands them… If you happen to be a "Tom from work" I do not envy the hangover, emberassment, and the youtube videos you must be dealing with… *L* (I call New Year’s Eve amature driver night, due to the fact that all the drunks drive like someone who’s never been behind the wheel, and all of the "first time" drunk drivers)
The night was spent rather quietly… We went to "Famous Dave’s BBQ", and I ate a TON!!!! We went to Border’s Books, and purchased Tosca Reno’s "Eating Clean Diet", and the new "Eating Clean" magazine. We also went to da Wally-Mart, and gots us some EAS protein drinks (Tha 4-pack is plumb all tha way down ta $4.97 of the Carb Advantage) Sorry, I love comedy, and Wal-Mart happens to be a favorite target of theirs, and late in the evening/night if you go there and "people watch" you can decide that a) your life is nowhere near as bad as you thought. b) you can make a change in your life and avoid thier fate. c) it’s amazing how comedians can take real life and make it funny as hell. (For the record, I DO shop at Wal-Mart) We then went home, and went to bed.
So, the "Coach/Torture Master/Dear Sweet Wife" is now ready to do battle with the "Cellulite and Flabalanche Monsters" and I am set to battle the "Girly-Man Muscles" and fight the "Battle of the Bulge".
This year promises to be very exciting. I’ve gained a TON of knowledge, I’ve gotten one competition under my belt, and, I’m starting from a lower bodyweight and bodyfat level. I had my surgery to fix the hernia, as well. But also, I have gained some awesome friends, both here, and at the show I competed in. I’ve gained some role-models, and I’ve gained my share of "haters". I WILL be competing in August, more than likely in both the Novice and Masters classes. But this year I WON’T be the "fat guy on the stage"!!!
Happy New Year!!!!

I have a freind who forbids his wife from shopping at the wally-mart, because he noticed everyone who shops there is a bit oversized (well, a lot oversized)! lol
