86

Good day today! It was very busy at work and had the strangest weather in downtown.

Before we went on our run this morning, we found 4 bags of groceries in one of the carports (this was at 5:30 in the morning). It was very weird!

I went to lunch at a Japanese restaurant called Imo's with some coworkers today. I had my usual Chicken Katsu Burger. Why did I order a burger at a Japanese restaurant? It's pretty much the best chicken burger I've had in my life, and it comes with crispy french fries that have a spicy seasoning on it. So Delicious!

88 days away

Sadly, we did not get to go climbing today... I got home late, and we didn't want to spend the money to go climbing for less than an hour, and then come home and go to bed, so we may go on Friday (or Saturday) and get enrolled in beginner class so we can get belay certified.

I changed up my lunch today and joined some coworkers. I had a delicious caesar salad and a delicious lamb gyro! So tasty! I also picked up "Red Dead Redemption" today, I played it a little so far, and it has been fun.

89 days to go, less than 3 months away

So far behind, and a little heavier. But I'm not complaining, I had a fun weekend with friends with delicious food. Not bad food, just heavier food and higher calories.

First Sam and I went to Pizza Bank on Friday to celebrate a new accomplishment at work. Then Saturday, we went to the Seattle Aquarium with Ben and Alyssa, and enjoyed some of the local Flavors at Pike Place. Then we enjoyed home made cheeseburgers at Mike Marin's, followed by some Wii Fit, and a small slice of delicious, warm homemade apple pie. It was delicious!

All in all, it was a fun weekend, and I am sure I will be back down to 244 in no time. Also, this week is our rest week, so we'll be doing cardio and light workouts this week.

Thank you all for your constant support and feedback on my blog!

93 days until I can use my new sunglasses

Sam is feeling better today, and is happy that she is not "sick", but has a sinus infection instead.

I found an ad in a magazine today for "Free" sun glasses for a market study, as long as you pay the Processing, postage, and shipping for the glasses. I ordered a few pairs for Hawaii so I didn't have to worry about losing my "nice" glasses. Hopefully these turn out to be pretty cool:

Pretty mild day. Moved to a new seat at work. I'm excited about that because I am sitting around some very upbeat people like myself.

Sam is getting sick : (

Hopefully she gets better soon.

95 days and cat people

I can't help but laugh today regarding the slew of jokes I ran through my head when Marin texted me at lunch about the "Cat Person" she saw today. To further clarify, Marin's text said : OMG!! I just saw a guy walking down 124th with cat ears and tail!!!
I almost fell out of my seat laughing, because we saw something similar at the zoo where a guy and two girls had cat ears, tails, and COLLARS on...

Jokes on the subject:
"Quick, hand me your phone, I need to call animal control, there's a feral cat on the loose."
"Mike, keep your distance, you're allergic to cats."
"It's a mascot for d-CON!"
"Terminex hits the streets"
"Do you have a laser pointer?"
... the list goes on ...

And on to the meat of todays blog:
