The dreaded before pics!

In this corner weighing in at.......

Yep it was bound to happen the dreaded before pics and the measurements. I actually don't mind cause i know this is the start and i have no problem with being half naked but who wants to throw out the begging pics we just want the afters. So i did my official weigh in. this on my bathroom scale and the only one i really care about all the doctors scales are different and can suck it

Now that we have the weight lets get to my measurements awww yeah!!! You know when boys get a tape measure you know they are going to measure everything (yes even that hey i heard it gets bigger with weight loss, I am testing the theory ever little bit helps!)

Well guess who got a new Iphone...this guy. I am happy cause new shinny things are good but I have been with out a phone for 2 weeks and I have been taking the teenagers phones (cause they got droids) If you have teenagers you will know taking a teens phone is the equivalent of stepping on a lego barefoot....so I am glad to be past that. Magic likes the 8 megapixil camera as well

You know your as nerd when you get excited to read an interview with none other than Dr. Teeth & The Electric Mayhem!!!! (and yes I read the whole thing in there voices)

Having a rockstar step dad never hurts

This is Matt Nathanson. (yes we were that close) My daughter has a unhealthy crush on him. Who can blame her I have one as well. I saw him as an unknown opening act for Pink when she was doing her club tour. Totally got my socks rocked off.  So some time later I introduced Matt to Rachel and she has been in love ever since.  Now the night I was him in Indy I got the chance to meet him he was hanging outside selling his CD and was a good guy he shot the shit for a while, a quality guy in my opinon. Well fast forward a few years and a few hits later. Rachel finally managed to get to see him in Stlouis but no one would go with her so she asked me knowing I am always down for a road trip. Actually the last thing i wanted to do was drive 4 hours to see anyone but I was looking forward to getting some quality time with her since she moved out i take time with her when ever  i can get it.
So we drive out to St louis and the opening act (Scars on 45) was real good and the finally MAtt hits the stage. He was just as good as I remember and my daughter was in Love!!!

Now before we left she told her boy friend she was not coming back cause Jim somehow manages to get backstage and when I meet Matt we are getting married and I am not coming back... Well Jim has great luck / mad skillz ....

Once again I'll say it Matt is a real good guy. he took time to sign an autograph and have a conversation with Rachel he they leaned in on a bar table and laughed and smiled. Let me tell you I had a happy daughter and for a brief minute i was a cool dad.

I was unavoidably detained

Sorry it has been  a couple of days but as you can see from the picture totally not my fault. Fatty Boom Catty was saying blogging will not be happening today.

Friday was my EKG and it went with out a hitch. It went rather quick actually. I think it took longer to put the nipple stickers on. Which is the part we all look forward too, who does not love nipple stickers!

As the day draws closer i am getting anxious I just want to get the ball rolling and looking forward to the ol weigh ins. I have been weighing in daily and I have been holding regardless of eating like shit. Which makes me wonder how much I can loose when I actually am trying. I put in 3000 calories or more easy a day and still maintain. So at 1200 are these pounds going to come flying off? hmmm makes you wonder
