Day Where were we? It’s been awhile…Day 4.20

What….I just this second realized it’s almost been a month since I posted on the man blog… A month of chips…beer…and turkey. Lot’s of turkey.

I survived Thanksgiving, I hit the scale a day or 2 after, leftovers and all I was only at 235 pounds… This morning. 233.2, not so bad.

Where have I been? Well I thought, in my infinite wisdom…I jest…that I wouldn’t post until I hit 225 pounds. How long ago was that decision made, you heard it here folks.

Well I’ve had to take a pass on that. Should I blame the turkey? No, that just wouldn’t be fair….

I have had some things on the go…I did interlock the front walk, doubled the size of the porch and made a run down the driveway….

Looks good, pics to follow.

Today I’m going to cut a man door into the garage. My darling of a wife brought a door back from a trip to Toronto knowing I’ve been wanting a man door for some time.

Cutting brick today once the neighborhood clears out!

So after a month of not really dieting, or should I say watching what I eat, I’m back at it. I’m going to be back under 230 this week, starting today I’m actually going to punish myself…we shall see.

Beagle reported last week that he is still under 200 pounds, that is a pretty good run.

Like me Parker gave up…for a while…I’m not sure what he is doing at this moment, but I do know he is doing whatever at about 260 pounds…the agony.

The quote of the day:

Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time. Thomas A. Edison

and now for a pic of last week’s project…

Not bad for my first go at interlock….I almost went with a wood front deck, I could have pounded it out in no time…but this is a bit nicer and will live up to the wear of a front step.

Next summer I’m going to build a few decks…the wife wants to see what it’s like to build ’stuff’.

I’m not sure building a deck by my side is the introduction to construction she needs…but it will be a good time!

Getting colder, raking…frost…no shovelling yet though! Cheerio!
