cutting it close

Talk about cutting it close...I have 31 mins to post this blog before I am LATE, again. This has been a very interesting week. Forthe first time in 4 months I worked a close to 40 hour week and I did it in 4 days! Talk about all or nothing. I also am still getting used to my new teeth, never realized how weird something so small could feel. On the downside, all this business with work and teeth has kept me from training for the half I am supposed to be running soon, so my goal for next week is to do the training, and to blog on the seventh day...we will see how that goes..catch ya next week


P.S. GO SHARKS!

My new grill

A few weeks back I got an email from my grandma. She said that she wanted to help me get my teeth fixed. You see my two front teeth (#9 and 10 for those who know) were knocked out by a softball when I was in 11th grade. They were put back in but never capped, so they just turned black and broke over time. I would have gotten them fixed myself but it was extremely expensive and I have 4 young kids and lots of bills. I am not really sure why she all the sudden wanted to fix my teeth but after some prodding by my wife I decided, "why the hell not!". It has been two week now since that email and I am sporting a temporary bridge and will have a permanent bridge after my jaw has time to heal (appointment is sat for July 15th). I spent my adolescence fat, I spent young adulthood toothless and heavy, and Today I have teeth and a body I am proud of (who would be proud of a size 30 waist). For the first time ever I will put a picture of my face on my blog, now its not the best since its 1hr post surgery but I am pretty excited about it.

And just as a reference this is what they looked like before...

Aprils pics!

When this comp started in January I was proud of my size 36in waist. Now I wear a 30!!! Hell yeah.

Holidays and detours

Wow, I almost forgot to blog again. Im glad my wife ALWAYS has her computer (at least this time anyway). This week has been a lot of fun, but my diet is gone! Not to say that I am eating junk but I am eating way MORE than I should and ther are so many good things that I feel like I am continuosly eating and well I am. To further tip the scale in the wrong direction exercise is not the easiest thing while on vacation. I was so desperate this morning that I jogged 3mi in sand! Have you ever felt like running in water might be easier? Well I did today. Tomorrow will only tell how this month has really been for me I thought I was doing so well until Friday anyway...
