As amazing as it is not. I lost weight yesterday.
Why is this. well I actually watched what I put in the gob and didn’t clear the fridge at 10 pm.
Since I decided I might do a 9 day cleanse or try the Parker shake diet…I might as well do it now with what I have in the house rather than purchasing it from isagenix or grabbing PGX shakes from the store. I think the ingredients I have kicking around are better anyway, the isagenix shakes have plenty of suger in them and the cleanse is made up of who knows what…
Rather than the cleanse I’m using a veggie greens…it reminds me of a freshly mowed lawn, it’s not too bad in chug mode. For the shake I have some zero carb promaxis, it’s a good brand developed at McGill I believe and tastes great.
I also crushed a chicken breast and some Brussel sprouts for lunch. which would be as per the isagenix method, a
sensible lunch.
For a late night snack I had a handful of mixed nuts and…I don’t know, 2 or 3 cups of raw veg with hummus. maybe
more…
And…I lost over 2 pounds, almost 3 I suppose. I weighed in at 243.6, almost the lowest I’ve been on this man ’diet’.
I had zero scotch.
Now all good things must come to an end and tonight I have poker. I will try my best to not eat. I may have a
wee scotch…maybe not…

Another of the items on the up and up on my resolution list is the old geeeetar. I’ve been practising every sin- gle day and…I can play the damn thing!
Now I realize that children everywhere have this skill, but I simply always thought my total lack of coordina- tion and the numerous bones I have broken in my hands would not be conducive to this skill. I should even mention that my mitts are 75 % palm and 25 % fingers. But I’ve done it, I can already play simple tunes and I plan on going all the way.
If you’ve ever thought of giving it a try I can tell you that the game Rocksmith is a great help…when used with other lessons online or otherwise…
My weight loss coherts??? Beagle is off the booze tonight, he goes under the knife tomorrow…that should cost him a couple of pounds during recovery…lucky him! Parker is hiding out in pubs within the Nepean – Ashton corridor. I’d be hiding out too if I was officially the fattest of us again! The joys of losing a couple pounds…I can point and laugh at my fatter buddies!!!!
Parker has been an avid soccer player since…forever I suppose.

Parker Power
Being an Englishman I’m sure he has been at it since before kindergarten. Anyway, as you can see from this photo I found of him on the interweb he has one hell of a boot on him.
My normal disclaimer…I don’t know how I luck into these images…
Parker has been enjoying freedom from shakes recently but I don’t see that 20 pounds he took off staying off unless he does a bit more of the scrimmage on the green,
But… he did lose 20 pounds, Beagle too, I’m the only non-losing loser. Might I see the 230’s this week? I do hope so.
