Hammer365: 192/173 Fifteen Week Challenge

Img_0355

The other night I came out of the VIP room dancing and getting my groove on. I noticed someone else in there with the same freaky moves I had. I mean exactly. I thought to myself, "Man, what a stud! Dude's got some wild moves!" There was an instand bond with this familiar character. As the smoke machine in the shower stopped and the fog began rising I started making out the figure that was dancing with me. At first I could only see feet but the fog continued to rise and when the mirror cleared up a complete stranger was revealed, and he was me.

What the heck was that gut doing on me? I realized I had to do something different.

So here's what I'm going to do...

Goal: Lose 20 pounds in 15 weeks. 1.33 pounds each week until October 24.

Plan:

  • 1 hour of physical activity each day, rain or shine (did I mention I hate exercising and working out?).
  • No second servings. Kerry and I agreed to putting all of the leftovers away after making diner but before we sit down to eat.
  • Limit sugars to less than 15 grams per serving.
  • Eat something for breakfast (I usually eat nothing).
  • Eat lunch everyday (I am very inconsistent).
  • Drink 6 glasses of water each day (I don't drink soda but I don't drink enough water either).
  • Break all of these rules at least one day per week.
  • Share my goal and plans with as many people as I can. Accountability.

I'll let you know how it goes.

Hammer365: 016/350 The Photo Booth

Img_0021

I haven't seen one of these non-digital, vintage, operational photo booths since Kmart on Government Blvd in Mobile circa 1973ish (you know, right across from the Whataburger?). This one is still working and quite popular at The Record Bar in Westport down in KCMO. I'm going in.

We are in the middle of another extreme Winter snow storm expecting 3-4" overnight.

This Alabama boy does not like snow.

Hammer365: 005/361 Snow Fire Here

Img_0007

I've been in Kansas City for eleven years and have never seen the weather we are seeing now. It's flipping cold. I don't like snow but one of the good things about it here is it's usually gone soon after it falls.  The snow in this picture has been here for twelve days and we are expecting another 3-5" in the next 30 hours. I know my friends in Minnesota are rolling thier eyes reading my complaints here but again, there's really only one reason I live this far north, and she's not moving.

It's so cold that even my Labrador Retriever, Sir Duke Ellington won't even mess with this fire plug.
