OK...So it's been a while...I know...and I am disappointed in myself for not keeping up with the blog like I promised myself, and you. However, things are quieting down now...and I am back on track to give you more updates on myself (and some more laughs) to get you through your blog reading. Enjoy...sit back...relax...drink a cold one (water that is!!!) and here's an update on what I have been up too.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well...I think I need to do a picture update first of myself. That's right, it's time for you to compare a picture of me from a month ago to a picture from today.
Oh...and please excuse the "whiteness". I think the Sun is allergic to...ME. No question about it. I look like someone dusted me off in white flour, painted me in white, and then put me in a padded dark room for three weeks. Well, sometimes I may need that padded room...but here's the pictures...
BEFORE (this picture was taken at the beginning of June)
NOW (as of July 11th, 2011)
Now...what do I notice from this picture?
#1 - WHY AM I LOOKING DOWN AT MY FEET?!?!
#2 - I can definitely notice the difference in my stomach...and what I like to call my "back shelf". Don't know what a "back shelf" is? It's when you have enough of an overhang on your back that you can stand your yard sale knick-knacks on top of it. And right now...I can't do that!
Now...something you can't notice from this picture? I am down a whole size in my jean/pant selections. It feels good to put old Size 36 shorts on this Summer and actually have them fit me!!
Now...if I could only work on that tan...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What else have I been up to? Well on the Morning Show we read that Kenny Chesney can now do 300 pushups in 10 minutes. I figured...heck...if he can do it, so can't I! Right???
Here's the video of me after I got to #50...to my final number...all in six minutes.
How many push ups can you do?
Yup...thats me. In all my...um...glory. Yes, that's what you can call it.
