…a weigh in.

I promised last week that I’d be at 299 by Saturday, and then I promised that I’d weigh in today after having to go out of town this weekend…

…but honestly? I stepped on the scale this morning and it kind of freaked me out.  My diet may not have been super fantastic, but I don’t think it warranted what I saw this morning.

So I’m going to take today to flush out the system, and hopefully get back to a more realistic number.  Even if it’s not 299, it’s gotta be better than what I saw this morning.

So, weigh in tomorrow.  I promise.  For real.

When you see something like this from Scott, you can’t help but think that it has something to do with the motherfucking burpee.

I wasn’t the only one who thought this either…

But was it burpee related? No! Phew!

It’s an 11 Random Things tag.  I haven’t done of these in a long ass time, so why not? :)

First off, answers to Scott’s Questions:

  1. Whats the worst pick up line you’ve heard? – “You want to suck my ****, bro?”  No, no I do not.
  2. Whats the worst pick up line you’ve used? – “You’re hot.” Hopeless romanticism FTW
  3. Where do you see yourself in five years? - In another town, hopefully in an owned home, with a kickass husband, preparing to bring children into the world
  4. Do you pick your nose? – Yes…and if anyone says they don’t, then they are a liar.
  5. How awesome am I? – I’m Running on Awesome… ;)
  6. Who is someone you admire greatly? – I admire MANY.  So many people I know have overcome quite a bit, and become a better person for it.
  7. Do you think that Tony the Tiger is sexy? – He’s GGRREEAAT
  8. Favorite place to eat? – Buffalo Wild Wings
  9. David Hasselhoff or Tom Seleck? – How am I supposed to choose one?!
  10. What is the furthest you have traveled from home? - Almost 3000 miles to San Francisco, CA
  11. Do you like me? – Meh… (Seriously, though, you’re pretty awesome, and I’d love to hang out and grab a beer with you someday)

Now onto the 11 Random Things:

  1. I do not like most fruit, and the ones I do like, I am very picky about the taste, texture and consistency.  If I am to eat healthy, I am way more likely to do it by way of vegetable.
  2. I could eat a cheeseburger every day for the rest of my life and never tire of it.
  3. I have had this huge, epic Sci-Fi/Fantasy “Final Fantasy”-esque story floating in my head for about 20 years.  It is ever evolving and I’m scared I am never going to be able to pin down an idea long enough to actually write it.
  4. My dream car is Volkswagen Jetta.  Aimin’ high…
  5. I sometimes (only sometimes) wished I lived in a time where the internet/smartphones/etc weren’t almost essential to everyday life.
  6. I still want to run a marathon.
  7. I’d really like to learn freerunning/parkour.
  8. I never thought it would happen, but I think it’s safe to say that I actually like the taste of black coffee (no sugar, no cream, etc…) now.
  9. I like to gamble.
  10. If it wasn’t for the fact that I am closer to 30 than I am to 20, I would get my lip re-pierced.
  11. I wish I could grow a beard, but I really big bald spot along my jaw line makes it impossible to pull it off.

Weight machine cables aren’t supposed to look like that. Boo, Comfort Suites!

In other news, I’m tired, I hate moving (especially when I’m not the one moving), and I want to go home.
