I see your schwartz is as big as mine...

My kit came in yesterday! There is so much protein in this thing I can't believe. I was thinking, are we going to keep our log on this website? Day 1 through 28, with before and after pics, measurements and all? Just wondering... i've got some cool pics in a speedo!!

not so bad

So I was listening to the radio again today. It was the christian station 105.5. There was this indian guy from deli or bombay, I forget. He was talking about the impoverished town of bombay. He was talking about the slums and how bad they were. Something like 5 million people in one slum around the city of bombay. He was reading in the paper and saw a picture of a child around 5 or 6 years of age lying in the middle of the road next to a dog. The child was drinking the milk of the dog!! I couldn't believe it. He went on to say how bad things were and how lucky we were to be born in civilized countries. How we worry about mortgages and payments, while these people have to worry about playing in sewage and not having parents..

I started thinking, you know this fast/diet that we are going to do... it isn't going to be hard. Compared to other places, 5 meals a day isn't even a reality. I think the amount of prayer and committment that we are going to put into this is going to give us a lot more than smaller waist lines. I think we are going to get a better understanding of who we are as God's children, a deeper understanding of what strong will is, and a better appreciation of where we are in the world today.

Does that sound completely off the wall?

zzzzzzzz.....

well im here at work... and I ordered the V-Diet today at 1:00 pm central time. It said that if I ordered it before 4:00 pm mountain time that it would ship today. I think it did, but im not sure which mountain they were talking about...

I'm getting excited about the diet. Im not sure if its excitement or if its worry... I get so hungry at work, but then again, Im not drinking 400 calories every 4 hours. And there is nothing but junk here as well. But we do have a cold water fountain and an ice machine, so thats not all bad. Whats yalls plans for when you are out and about and its time for a shake? Im gonna take a couple of buckets to work and carry some around in a bag with me, as well and carry around a couple of jugs of water so I can stay on track. I think we are all gonna need to be calling each other a lot to stay focused!

Until tomorrow,

work thus far

I thought I'd show yall the work we have completed thus far on the house. Here are some pics. Comment if you please!

I mean I work better by illustration but this is ridiculous. So thats going to be a fun time. Anyway, off to homedepot/lowes to exchange some ceiling fans and 2 sinks for the lavatory. I will update with pictures soon. hasta

swingset my @$$

so dudes... i feel like I have osteoarthritis from my elbows down. I feel like I played mercy with samson for crying out loud. I don't know how people ever did it, working without power tools. That monstrous swingset/playground/climbing wall/monkeybar/great wall of china was amazing. It should have said for help, call Bob Vila. Dear God, please give me the patience... haha Im glad its over. I am proud of that thing though. C, you should see this thing.

Well, its 6:02 am... im bout ready to check out. Im ordering the V-diet today. I am so pumped, I can't even convey it. I cant wait... until laters brothers

the V diet commeth

well my fine feathered friends... im just lounging here at work with m' pall hank. We finally got all the losers cleared out. I had an epiphany tonight, and it was quite helpful actually. I found myself getting frustrated again (because of the non emergent condition of most of our patients), and I just stopped and thought to myself... Bryant, its been like this forever, and its not going to change. People are always going to come to the ER instead of the clinic. Work at your own pace, do your job, and then go home... its just work. Any my night suddenly got better. Nobody bothered me, and I just went about my business. pretty nice i must say.

just got through reading the program for the V diet. I think its going to be more difficult here at work, but not too bad. Im going to get a little blender, and we have an ice machine here too. I've read that some people find that ice makes the shakes more tasty because of the thickness the ice adds. Im getting really pumped to get back in the gym. Mostly just looking forward to july on the beach!! Have a good sleep guys. Im gonna go get coffee. Until later!!

Tape and float

Man its been a few weeks since m' last post. So to update, Sandy is doing well. Shes stopped "leaking" which is nice for my shirts! haha. Shes still a little sore, and I wont let her do any work at the house, which is very frustrating on her part.

But this weekend Dad, Max, and I did get a lot of work done. I think we wil have gas and water to the house today sometime. I am almost done with all the sheetrock work in the bathroom. The rest of the bathroom is just beadboard, tile for shower, and linoeum, sp?, and then painting hooray!

Then back to work tomorrow night... I got to get on with an agency.. I dont like 5 days straight. Neither does sandy...
