Dirtbag Football Sunday

[jimnyc]

You telling me I got all dressed up and shaved for nothing?

That's exactly what I am saying! It's Sunday! The man above forbids us working, and shaving and showering and all that not fun stuff is work!

I didn't say I was going to DO anything

However, and in light of the other thread, I HAVE to shave, shower and put on clean, REAL clothes. It separates me from past bad habits that had me laying around for days without showering or shaving. A clean shirt will get you to the liquor store and back I didn't like THAT person any more than anyone else did. So I keep my distance

But the chores are done and I am all set to go ... nowhere and do nothing Don't even have the rugrat today. Yet, anyway. Football for me was yesterday and I missed it.

We are in the middle of switching from cable to streaming. And I can't find sh*t. Or we don't have it. First lesson and even *I* figured it out ... the daughter's old cable speed is not up to speed She's going to have to shell out for that, like it or not. We currently get a lot of interruptions and dragging.

You look lie you've lost weight since the last pic I saw of you.

Yeps, I have, and a lot! And actually made my Dad and brother nervous when they visited. When you barely see someone and see them for the first time in eons, such changes are amplified to them. Yet the doctor, who I just had a physical with a few weeks ago... NEW doc to me.... I asked her about my weight but didn't say why. She just said that for my height, which I say 5'9 but is more like 5'8 3/4, and a small framed guy, but even if you said medium, and at my age - she said she would expect anywhere from 142 - 160 like I read, give or take of course as everyone is different. She said I was absolutely perfect at 154.

I WAS all the way up to 224 and a fat bastard for my size. Not really, but I like to say that. So I set out to lose weight and eat better. The working out and sauna didn't stick with me long term, but eventually the eating better did! Not only was I eating better, but was avoiding all of that late night crap I used to do, as in a few thousand calories of garbage sometimes while watching a movie at 9pm!! No more. Also quit all sodas, no more sugars. Only vitamin water, then eventually it was just regular water. And because of my coffee, healthy or not, I rarely eat in the morning. So it added up and took quite awhile, but took a lot off.

But took some convincing to my brother that I wasn't dying! Jerk got on me so much about it that I got nervous about my own health. But everything came back within range. My cholesterol is better than ever. Only thing was low vitamin D - what a shock - since me and sunlight aren't friends anymore.

Anyway, yes, I lost some weight.

Weight loss was first thing I noticed as well. Congratulations on healthy eating Jim.

I'm having avery casual Sunday as well ... no shower, makeup, etc. ... but NASCAR championship race, not football, for me today.

Interesting. I'm an inch taller than you and at 155 I looked like I could be the Cryptkeeper from Tales from the Crypt But my weight loss was drastic -- 205 -155 in 2 weeks. I weight 183 now and I'm talking shit about the 3 because it took me 2 years to gain it I think I'm more medium frame though.

I didn't think you were dying though I think the last time I saw you was when you went and met OCA and video'd it. There's a noticeable difference.

You look okay to me. That grey comes with the territory Just don't do the "Just for Men". That is SO recognizable (Not as bad as Grecian Formula but close). You don't need to look like the "My Pillow" guy on TV

Maybe I look fatter after I shaved? And perhaps better looking in B&W and get rid of my many blemishes! I think I look much better without color in my life.

I didn't mean for you to run off and shave

My opinion, you look younger with the shave.

Sounds like we revamped our diets about the same way. I cut out all sugar, then started reading labels and cutting out fat, quit eating crap out of cans and frozen boxes, no more pop, and "after 8:00, it's too late," etc. I lost 25 lbs and kinda leveled off around 200. I'm back up to 207 but it's not from around my waist. It has to be from all the working out and packing on some muscle. I've shrunk an inch at 64 years old so I'm only 6' 1". I kinda look like a tree trunk...
