The Biggest Loser - Week 2

Last week in our family weight loss contest, I creamed the competition by dropping 12 pounds. When I saw the number, I also dropped my jaw.

This week was quite a bit more reasonable. I lost 1.5 pounds. The Biggest Loser award went to my niece this time.

I thought I had lost more than that, because I have begun to notice changes. My face has thinned, as have my arms and legs. I did lose 1.5 inches over my various measurements, so that is something.

Odd Directions and A New Brand of Superhero

This post has to do with funny things I heard this week:

1) "Sit down on your bum and be a lady!"


2) While playing a game with the Bear, he collected a protective shield for his player. "I'm SHIELDO THE KID!"

My New Direction In Life

I have decided to sink all my money into a new career as a rapper.

From now on, I will be known as "Tone Def".

Gotta Love a Positive Attitude

Today at church inbetween meetings, I had to run home to grab a couple things I had forgotten. When I returned and was walking back up to the building, the door opened and the nursery class (18 months to 3 years) came toodling out. They always have a rope with loops in it for the kids to hold on to. I imagine they were coming outside to get a little sun or something.

There is a man in the ward who today received the call to be a worker in that class. As we passed each other, he grinned and said, "Life is good, dude!"
