The Shrinking Man

Well, you have all of these wonderful plans … and then life pops up.

We’re dealing with an out-of-town family emergency right now. Everything’s getting better, at least. But I’m probably going to be a bit “off” on the ol’ program (although I already had my 30 minutes of cardio this morning).

Oh well. When life throws you a curveball, you can still smash it out of the park. You just need to know how. Now that I know how to, this won’t be a big deal.

BTW - it will probably be early next week until I’m able to post again.

Hey there! Or as they’d say in Wisconsin, Hey Dehr!

For those following me from Gizmosherpa, this is the new blog. With a cool title, eh? (That’s more Minnesotan, or Canadian.) Maybe? Maybe … not so much? Oh well, I tried.

(Transition to third person) If you’re brand new here, you’ve discovered the blog of a guy who is using the Smart for Life plan to lose weight. He’s also using the Turbulence Training plan to get fit.

(Back to first person) I’m going to soon be importing contents from my old blog, so you can see how well I’ve done so far. And yes, I’ve done pretty well - 60 lbs. lost in almost 4 months.

Up until now, I’ve mainly been doing S4L. I’ve just started incorporating TT. When I import my old posts Now that I’ve imported my old posts, you’ll see why this is kind of a big deal. So for now, just stand by and I’ll have them over in a day or two. Enjoy the old posts, and I’ll have more up soon, starting with tomorrow morning.

Thanks for visiting, and I leave you with a question to ponder. Why does the spell checker at a blog site (like, say, oh, WordPress) always pick the word “blog” as being potentially misspelled? Discuss.

Wow, I’ve been busy. Tres busy. Too busy (so far) to make the move I said I would do in the blog entry below this one. My apologies about that. I know you’ve probably come across blogs that apologize about not posting, and think, “wow, that’s lame.” But mine is sincere, so the lameness is gone! Kind of.

In fact, I’m just dipping in here now very quickly, as we have really high winds here today and the power has already gone out twice on me. Hopefully, it’ll stay up long enough for me to post this.

For those keeping score, I’m still on Smart for Life, and have now lost almost 55 pounds. That’s in about 4 months’ time. Not bad, eh? I’m back into clothes I haven’t been able to fit into for quite a while. I’ve already had a suit and some pants taken in, and I’ve got two blazers I like but are too big, so they’re up next on the tailor’s form. Plus, I’ve gone through two belts. We’re talking gone completely through two belts. Yee hah!

…that I haven’t updated recently. With work and the holidays, I’ve been too busy. I’ve commented in the article below about my progress. Let’s just say that I’m still doing well, especially considering it is the holidays.

I’m fully planning on posting more after the holiday season. I’m also considering doing a few things that will take this blog to new heights. Thanks.

For a variety of reasons, I have been unsuccessful in getting a camera to start doing any video Sherpa-ing (another one of those “Is that a word?” kind of things). Hopefully that will come in a week or so. Meantime…

First, we’ll go with the latter from the headline. And no, I’m not talking about the cops. I’m talking Gordon Sumner, better known as Sting, along with guitarist Andy Summers and drummer Steward Copeland. Yep, The Police.

I’m not sure how you got here. Please don’t be offended by that. It’s just that as of the date/time of this entry, I have not done any promotion for this blog. It only exists because I wanted to grab the domain name for it.

Not that your being here is a problem. It’s not. In fact, I’m really glad you’re here. Thanks for stopping by.
