Eat, Drink and Being Married


My daughter's wedding was fantastic, both times. Due to the expected tornado weather predictions, we moved the outdoor Duke Garden ceremony up one day and then had another full ceremony indoors the following day. Tons of food two nights and gallons (not just a figure of speech) of high-calorie hallucination inducing drink.

Exercise? Kinda. This old fat guy tried to hang with 13 "twenty somethings" for some paintball warfare. Lots of running and ducking behind trees and barriers and shooting and being shot with welt producing paint balls.

The other unfortunate news is that I'm up 3 pounds as I write this. Hopefully that will come off as fast this week as I put it on the last few days.

One daughter married . One new member to our family in the form of my son-in-law. One great time in the flow of life.

Now its time to hit the pavement and sweat out some pounds. No more kids to marry off now and no more huge parties planned anytime soon. So this is the time to get back to being a Loser.

Now lets all go for a long walk.

Congratulations! Now, it's a beautiful day, you've got a happy daughter, so get back to SPEW and enjoy the fantastic weather while it lasts. Outdoors exercise won't be nearly as much fun when it's 100* outside in a couple months.

Of course, the one benefit of the heat is that the hotter it is outside, the more poundage you'll lose.
