I worked a lot this weekend, and that's about all I did. Ate out most of my meals, and I was good for most of them, but one or two were rather bad.

In other news, I feel more hydrated today than I have in several mornings, so woo hoo.
Work time is now. Break your backs and crack your oars, Fatheads.

Busy Busy Busy
I've become involved with a shop support project that has become something of an ordeal at work. Unfortunately, that means I was there until 10pm last night, and I'm going back into the shop this morning to continue to deal with it.
Weight: 298 lbs
Body Fat: 40.8%
Water: 45.4%
Yesterday, I had 2 egg mcmuffins without cheese for breakfast, and about 5 doughnut holes from Dunkin Donuts over the course of the day, as well as a bag of Nutrisystem Sour Cream and Onion Soy Chips. I left for dinner at about six, and had half a Bacon Turkey Bravo from Panera with an apple instead of chips and half of a chocolate chip cookie. When I got home, I ate the remainder of the sandwich and cookie, drank some gin and fell asleep watching Crank 2: High Voltage, which is possibly the best movie ever filmed. I'm, again, dehydrated and haven't crapped in a day or two, hopefully I'll get some "time for myself" this afternoon.
You like how I was vulgar and then I used a euphemism? Yeah, you do.
These are the breaks, Fatheads, ya'll take care, now.

Odd But Delicious
As I've noted, the last week at work has been a little... involved. I'm getting enough sleep and eating right, but that hasn't left much time for blogging, and today is no exception. HAHAHA, I just noticed, when I copypasta'd yesterday's weight, that I entered "398" instead of "298".
Weight: 296.8 lbs
Body Fat: 40.8%
Water: 45.4%
I feel a bit dehydrated but, on the other hand, I haven't taken a real crap in about 2 days, so I'll call it a a wash, on that front.
I've been doing a lot of eating out, but I've been being good. For example: last night I bought a reuben and a side salad (vegetables only, hold the cheese) from my deli, and gave half the reuben and the chips to a co-worker. You see, I left work for an off-site meeting and some other business, and had to go back. I ended up pulling a few hours of OT because I got sucked back into an issue as a result of going back, but what can you do?
I went out for some drinks and sushi with a coworker when I finally got off last night. I had a total of six pieces, 2 eel, 2 tuna, and 2 sea urchin. I'd never had sea urchin before, but I think it's my new favorite thing. It's got a very soft, delicate texture, but it doesn't fall apart. As far as flavor goes, it was kind of buttery, rather fishy, and reminded me somewhat of conch (cooked, I don't think you can eat conch raw). I stuck mostly to the clear liquors, but I did have some good old-fashioned whiskey. I steered clear of the sake and beer, beer being the greatest invention of mankind, of course. Unfortunately, beer is that one really killer (other than sugary drinks, which I don't drink, because God blessed me with a penis) drink for diets, and can blow you up real quick. At any rate, I'm going to run through mcdonalds and have an egg mcmuffin for breakfast, because I've wasted the ten minutes I should have spent making breakfast writing this post. I will, however, put together diet-appropriate work snacks and meals before I leave (Nutrisystem lunch, etc).
Keep it real, Fatheads.

Madness
My days have been a bit crazy this week, so I haven't had the time to write any real posts about what I'm eating, but I'm committed to putting my daily numbers out there, so here we are.
I know I promised yesterday I'd write a food summary post last night, but that clearly wasn't going to happen when I got home at 8ish. We had a going away dinner for a coworker, and I was just exhausted after this long week. I might get a post in this weekend sometime, but this morning, at least, I need to eat another quick meal and run, so that means weigh-in, only.
Weight: 398.2 lbs
Body Fat: 41.5%
Water: 44.8%
As you can see, things are going well on this front, so no worries. I've mostly been staying on the Nutrisystem meals, but I've had to eat out for several dinners in the past few days, and I went out for lunch on Wednesday. I'm keeping myself under control when I do, and I'm running around so much at work that I'm pretty much staying on track. I've been packing appropriate lunches, and will have one again today.
I'm definitely working tomorrow, and may be working part of the day on Sunday, so we'll see what I have time for, post-wise.
Listen to the music, Fatheads.

Too Late Too Early
So I had a very long day at work yesterday. I shouldn't have had one, but I got sucked into a project I'd started working during the normal day at about 5, and didn't get home until after 11. I'll put together a food report for yesterday sometime this evening, probably, but for now, I need to eat a very quick breakfast (don't worry, it'll be in accordance with the prophecy) and get ready for work.

I Miss The Sun
To quote a cliche, the cold never really bothers me, but I fucking hate never seeing the sun... unless I'm late.
Weight: 301.4 lbs
Body Fat: 42%
Water: 44.4%
Pretty minor weight loss, but that's hardly surprising, given what I've had for dinner the last two days. Last night was a bit worse, since I allowed myself more of the cheese and didn't eat the "salad" dry.
For breakfast, I had a bowl of Nutriflakes Cereal. Which is just like every single other bran flakes cereal on the planet.
I also had an orange (fruit), a slice of raisin bread toast (carbohydrate) and an egg (protein) with some hot sauce. I had a bit of a short bus moment this morning. You'll note the fork in the picture above, useful for eating the cereal, no? I did the same thing to myself with my yogurt at work yesterday, where I ended up sort of drinking the yogurt and abandoning a good portion of it because a plastic for is no good at holding onto it.
http://www.bugcomic.com/comics/baptism-bloopers/
It's a comic. In the spirit of being a good internet user, I'm not hotlinking the image, and I felt too lazy to download it and reupload it to one of my accounts to post here. You should check it out, anyway, because Bug is hilarious.
I learned, this morning, that this was the music video for the song, and that it had a different version that the band recorded for it. I didn't like it. It was unfamiliar and therefore not as good. Fortunately, some intrepid youtuber made the wise decision to lay the original track over the video, so here we are.

Yay for Leftovers
SO I was intensely glad for my leftovers when I got home tonight, because I worked late and was in no way in a mood to deal with getting my various sides together.
For lunch I had my Nutrisystem Cheesy Homestyle Potatoes, along with broccoli and carrots, a juice box and yogurt for morning snack, and a bag of Nutrisystem BBQ Soy Chips for my afternoon snack.
When I got home, as I said, I was tired and happy that I had food ready. It was a busy day at work, but busy is good. I really love the work I do, especially when it's frustrating. I know that's perverse, but I'm an engineer, challenges make my day. Digging into various "opportunities for improvement" with people from other departments and figuring out how to solve problems is what I love doing, and it's a big part of what I do both when I'm crawling around on jets and when I'm back at my desk. On a side note: don't ever get aircraft sealant on your hand or clothing. It's designed to withstand 40 years or 100,000 cycles (flights), and I guarantee that shit is not coming off of your clothes without you melting a hole in them.
With that, I go to sleep. G'night, Fatheads.

Quickie
Due to the cyclical nature of a late schedule over the course of a week, I'm, once again, behind schedule.
Weight: 301.6 lbs
Body Fat: 42%
Water: 44.4%
Breakfast time!
I had a new thing this morning, that came as part of my most recent order. I should say: I think I may have had one before, but it's been so long, that I no longer remember if I liked it. A Nutrisystem Cinnamon Bun was my entree this morning. I don't know if you can read that little stamp to the left of the bun itself, but it warns that it requires the microwave.
It's good that was there, because I would have thought you ate it cold, and I suspect it wouldn't be as good. It's no Cinnabon, mind, but then, I never really liked Cinnabon. It always feels like just too much. I prefer my pastries small and light... in quantity, if possible. I'm the opposite with doughnuts, though. I like my doughnuts more cake-y rather than light. Dunkin Donuts over Krispy Kreme, for example. But Starbucks above all of these.
At any rate, I also had a slice of raisin bread toast (carbohydrate), a juice box (fruit) and an 8oz glass of milk (dairy) to get my day moving.
Before I forget OLD LADY, PERSONAL MESSAGE FOR YOU! You know that granite cleaner/hand soap you buy? Go to the link below, follow the instructions to save a few bucks. Order 20 bucks worth of the stuff from soap.com, and you can use a coupon for 10 bucks off the order.
http://www.spoofee.com/deals-$10_off_$20_Method_Liquid_Soap-709916.htm
Now that I've shared my great wisdom with all of you, I will also share this
I do enjoy perambulating, anything more strenuous requires serious consideration. You know, not until now did I realize just how stupid that music video is. Come to think of it, I don't think I'd ever SEEN that music video before. I certainly had forgotten how old that song was.
Time to go spend my day climbing around on scaffolding and crawling around in jets. I am SO glad I lost as much weight as I did before I started this job. My fatness gets in the way still from time to time, I doubt I'll be crawling into the wings too much for awhile, but I'm still much more able to walk up and down stairs/across the acres of factory floor all day than I would have been before I started on Nutrisystem. Engineers: we don't ALL just sit at a desk all day.
Later, Fatheads.

Attempts at Responsibility Backfire
So I had a good day at work, albeit late at both ends because of the folly of my alarm clock.
I had my Nutrisystem Cheesy Homestyle Mashed Potatoes for lunch, along with some carrots & celery, a yogurt with a juice box for morning snack, and a bag of Nutrisystem Sour Cream & Onion Soy Chips for afternoon snack. Unfortunately, I didn't leave work until after 5:30, so I decided to pick up dinner on the way home.
I decided to go to my deli, and order a side salad instead of the chips that would come with a turkey sandwich. I'd eat half the sandwich, and then have some nice greens to go with it. It's more expensive to dine this way, but I was more concerned with eating a proper meal than with spending a few extra bucks for the salad.
Unfortunately, due to some miscommunication on my part (ed. my spellchecker doesn't believe 'miscommunication' is a real word, how fucked up is that?) I ended up with my turkey sandwich and half of a house salad. Apparently, at this deli, "half a house salad" translates to "almost as much ham and turkey as was on your sandwich". Next time, I will remember to ask for an all-greens salad. The turkey sandwich had some bacon, sprouts, lettuce and tomato on it. It theoretically had avocado, which I failed to discern while eating it, so I'm calling bullshit.
At any rate, I ate only half the sandwich,and I ate about a third of the meat, while leaving the Swiss and the shredded cheddar alone. I also ate the pickle, because I'm crazy like that. I'm putting the rest of the food in the fridge for dinner tomorrow. Obviously, pics cuz it did happen, suckas.
Last week on Sons of Anarchy: Jemma threatens a group of nuns with chopping a baby in half, and not in the way I routinely do, but by holding a gun on a baby. This is the best show on television.
Video unrelated.

Damned Alarm
Well, my plan to get back on track with waking up was shot all to hell this morning by one of my alarms not working. Tomorrow will clearly be the day for it.
Weight: 302.2 lbs
Body Fat: 42%
Water: 44.4%
Man, even when you love your job, this is the roughest day of the week.
I'm trying to hurry through my busy morning, so I had Nutrisystem Low-Fat Granola for breakfast.
For sides, I had an 8oz glass of milk (dairy), a juice box (fruit) and a slice of raisin bread toast (carbohydrate). An acceptable, if not particularly spectacular, meal.
My body's aching and my time is at hand, so I'd better go finish packing lunch, get in the shower and go to work.

Fifty Percent Is Only Failing In School
In life, it's failure plus job loss, unless you're in a union. At any rate, I made it 100% on my predictions for the games today, but only 50% on what I actually wanted to see. The Bears, once again, broke the hearts of Chicagoans world-wide. I have the unique joy of saying that both my birth-city team and my home-town team were taken out of the fucking playoffs by the biggest rival of one of the teams. Awesome.
At any rate, I ate a ham sandwich and low-fat chips from Jimmy Johns for lunch, and a turkey-bacon sandwich with low-fat chips from the same restaurant for dinner. In the middle somewhere, I had a bag of Nutrisystem Soy BBQ Chips. I also had a slice of raisin bread toast for breakfast this morning.
I finished my laundry (last load is in the dryer now) but did almost none of the other cleaning I wanted to accomplish this weekend. Maybe I'll have better success stretching it over the week this week than I did last week. Of course, a key part of that plan involves going to bed on time, with TV and computer off at 8pm... which hasn't happened, obviously.
I also went through the shipment of food I got this week and mostly distributed it/reorganized the Nutrisystem pantry here in the Fatness Castle. I segregated the food that's going to be traveling with me for business next month, and next weekend/this week I need to figure out if both it and my clothes can fit together in a suitcase, or if I need to ship the food or some other alternative I haven't thought of, yet. This reorganization was accomplished in concert with a partial cleaning of the kitchen and the Doing Of The Dishes, a foul pagan rite that must be performed at least once, sometimes twice a week in the life of a bachelor (if he's stopped buying as many paper/plastic plates as he used to).
Shit. It just occurred to me that my towels are currently in that dryer, meaning that I need to remember to pull them out before I get in the shower tomorrow. YES I have more towels, but I like those ones, which could have something to do with why they're the ones I use. So I'm going to sign off now, pray that I remember that in the morning, and lament the fact that I'm not allowed to get drunk on beer to forget the crushing losses both the Bears and the Eagles suffered both because I want to lose weight AND because I need to get up for work on a manufacturing schedule tomorrow.

Things You See At Lunchtime
I stayed in last night, because I just didn't feel like going out in the southern cold. As I've told some people: just because we born-of-the-north scoff at the temperature, that doesn't mean the rest of the population does.
Weight: 299.8 lbs
Body Fat: 41.9%
Water: 44.5%
Now that I've told you that, let me tell you what I ate last night that limited my weight loss.
First of all, during the day at work I ate only my diet food. I had a morning snack of the awful hippie yogurt (god, why did I buy 2 weeks of it before trying it?) and a juice box. For lunch, I had a frozen Nutrisystem Steak & Cheese Melt. I had a bag of Nutrisystem Sour Cream & Onion Soy Chips.
I went off the wagon for dinner and on, straight up, yo. As those of you who follow the Twitter know, I went to Five Guys for dinner last night. I wanted to experiment. It turns out that if you ask them to give you only the cup of fries, they will be kind and respect your wish not to eat 4 times as many fries as you should (a serving is around 112 grams, the whole cup weighed about twice that, and the scoop they use to add fries to the bag is bigger than the cup. I ordered a single-patty cheeseburger with many vegetables and whatnot, and despite bringing home some ketchup, I only used the malt vinegar (if you don't eat malt vinegar on fries, you are a communist, and should turn yourself into the government IMMEDIATELY).
After dinner, I played much Halo: Reach, and drank around 5 martinis. Before allowing myself the martinis, I insisted on drinking a gallon of water. I became hungry and ordered a pizza around midnight. I only ate a bit of it, and dumped the rest in the trash so that I would not be tempted... then dumped expired milk on it to ensure that I would not give in to really disgusting temptation... IT WAS A CLEAN GARBAGE BAG!
Brief break from the action: I've been searching for what the hell I did with the copy of Repo Men I had from Netflix since Christmas. I had brought it and 2 other movies with me on vacation, and returned the other two immediately after getting back home. I had searched high and low last week, and could not find it. I just lifted up my fucking laptop, and realized it was under it.
It's too late for a full breakfast, but too early for a full lunch, so I grabbed a juice box and a slice of raisin bread to tide me over until lunch... for which I've ordered Jimmy Johns... which I also ordered for dinner. I'm taking it easy today, I need to clean and do laundry, and the NFC Championship is on today, GO BEARS!
Before that's on, I'll probably actually fold the clean laundry that's sort of been rotating through my basket for about 2 weeks and divide up the pile on the floor into loads while I watch Repo Men. It can't be as good as Repo! The Genetic Opera, but I'll try not to judge it by that standard.
Maybe not the best from the film, but it's what came to mind. Root for the Bears or die, Fatheads.

Now that I've told you that, let me tell you what I ate last night that limited my weight loss.
First of all, during the day at work I ate only my diet food. I had a morning snack of the awful hippie yogurt (god, why did I buy 2 weeks of it before trying it?) and a juice box. For lunch, I had a frozen Nutrisystem Steak & Cheese Melt. I had a bag of Nutrisystem Sour Cream & Onion Soy Chips.
I went off the wagon for dinner and on, straight up, yo. As those of you who follow the Twitter know, I went to Five Guys for dinner last night. I wanted to experiment. It turns out that if you ask them to give you only the cup of fries, they will be kind and respect your wish not to eat 4 times as many fries as you should (a serving is around 112 grams, the whole cup weighed about twice that, and the scoop they use to add fries to the bag is bigger than the cup. I ordered a single-patty cheeseburger with many vegetables and whatnot, and despite bringing home some ketchup, I only used the malt vinegar (if you don't eat malt vinegar on fries, you are a communist, and should turn yourself into the government IMMEDIATELY).
After dinner, I played much Halo: Reach, and drank around 5 martinis. Before allowing myself the martinis, I insisted on drinking a gallon of water. I became hungry and ordered a pizza around midnight. I only ate a bit of it, and dumped the rest in the trash so that I would not be tempted... then dumped expired milk on it to ensure that I would not give in to really disgusting temptation... IT WAS A CLEAN GARBAGE BAG!
Brief break from the action: I've been searching for what the hell I did with the copy of Repo Men I had from Netflix since Christmas. I had brought it and 2 other movies with me on vacation, and returned the other two immediately after getting back home. I had searched high and low last week, and could not find it. I just lifted up my fucking laptop, and realized it was under it.

Write The Best Post (Or I'll Eat Your Soul)
Oh, Saturday, what a day to be working. Hey, at least I get to sleep in a bit, right?
Weight: 300.2 lbs
Body Fat: 41.9%
Water: 44.5%
I'm still fairly exhausted this morning, although I don't know why. I only played a little bit of video games last night, and was asleep at a decent hour (Halo: Reach has Griff Ball right now, but I forced myself off around 10pm). GriffBall:
Above: RoosterTeeth's Explanation of GriffBall. Well, I'll get on with the summary of yesterday, then, since I didn't feel like posting when I got home last night. I had Nutrisystem Cheesy Homestyle Potatoes for lunch, along with some carrots and celery, and a juice box for morning snack, as well as a bag of Nutrisystem Soy BBQ Chips for afternoon snack.
I had a long afternoon (didn't finish with various things after work until 7ish) after which I went to Whole Foods to pick up dinner and yogurt. They didn't have the Dannon Light & Fit I've been eating, but they did have some hippie-branded one that's probably exactly the same thing, but they can't sell it under another brand because it makes hippies cry. At any rate, I had a piece of Turkey Meatloaf and some paella. I only ate about half the paella, and my secret is: that I don't really like paella. I forget this occasionally, and think "my god, that looks tasty" and then am full of annoyance and regret over my poor decision.
Speaking of poor decisions, I've managed to avoid the dessert table in the past, but I slipped a bit yesterday. I got this chocolate chip cookie sandwich, and ate it with about a 10 oz glass of milk. It was worth it. I apologize for the darkness.... the pigment... the lighting (man, it's hard to break out once you go down that path)? Yes, I apologize for the lighting and the too-high shutter speed for last night's photographs, I didn't bother to change the settings on the camera (or actually look through the sight) before I shot. At any rate, my portions were pretty decent, although I should have had a salad or some vegetables with the meal to make it a bit healthier, and I probably should have bought just one cookie instead of two that had delicious chocolate icing between them. Whatever, if I did all that, the communists would win.
For breakfast this morning, I had frozen Nutrisystem Homestyle Pancakes. I believe I've now exhausted my frozen breakfasts. I have quite a few of them still in my pantry, however, and I just got next month's dry food delivery yesterday. I'll need to unpack it this weekend.
Along with that, I horked down an egg with hot sauce (protein), an orange (fruit) and a slice of raisin bread toast (carbohydrate). It's a new loaf that I picked up yesterday, and it had one of those crappy ends in it (I like end pieces of bread, but this one was one of those really thin, almost crackery ones) so I consumed it, in accordance with the prophecy.
So with this rather corpulent post out of the way, I'm now prepared to face my day at work with the lunch/snacks that I have packed. I only require a shower and pants to face the shiny demon in the middle of the road. AND HE SAID:
G'day, Fatheads.

Non-Stop, Ya'll
That's the official way to spell, "ya'll", in case you ever need to use it for a professional correspondence.
Weight: 300.8 lbs
Body Fat: 42.1%
Water: 44.3%
And that's the news from one of the places where people think the civil war wasn't about slavery, but about state's rights (PRO-TIP: IT WAS ABOUT SLAVERY, YOU ARE ALL LYING TO YOURSELVES AND EMBARRASSING BOTH YOURSELVES AND THE REST OF THE COUNTRY).
On a less "the South is Awesome but also kind of retarded" note, I had frozen Nutrisystem Golden French Toast for breakfast. It would probably be better with syrup, but then: what wouldn't be?
I also had an orange (fruit), a slice of raisin bread toast (carbohydrate), and an egg cooked with hot sauce (protein and burning). The problem with buying produce at Whole Foods is that I've yet to buy straight-up "oranges" from there. The ones I bought this week have a sticker that calls them "Cara Cara Pink Navel" which apparently means some kind of grapefruit cross-breed abomination, thankfully without seeds.
I also packed my lunch/snacks while waiting for my pan to heat up. I packed a cup of Nutrisystem Cheesy Homestyle Potatoes, some carrots and celery, a juice box, and a bag of Nutrisystem BBQ Soy Chips. That should get me through the day and onward to dinner. Since it's Friday, I might go out (if I do I'll try to Twitter a picture), but I probably won't. I'm not sure if I'm working tomorrow, yet, but I'd like to be. If I DO go out, there probably will not be an entry this evening, which shouldn't be a problem for any of you, since you all have vibrant social lives to be about.
To be clear on the weekend OT I'm pulling: I'm a salaried employee, non-exempt, but the company still does pay me OT. Also, the weekends I've worked so far have all been on a volunteer basis, the only way sites end up forcing you into working weekends is when there's no one who volunteers for it, and there's almost always someone who needs/wants the cash, especially since you earn above your base pay on an hourly basis for OT hours.
It appears they've now added a (or I didn't notice it before) "Use old embed code" button, which is nice, since all the various info out there about adding modifiers to the script pertains to the old code.
Do it up, Fatheads.

Bots Welcome!
Anything to inflate my ego. I appreciate the support that those of you I know personally (most of you) have given me when we speak, and the support of those of you who have found me through the joy of the internet. I am proud to call you my Fatheads.
At work, I once again enjoyed a dehydrated Nutrisystem Cheesy Homestyle Potatoes cup. I also had some celery and carrots with lunch, a juice box and a South Beach mixed nut snack pack for morning snack, and a bag of Nutrisystem BBQ Soy Chips for afternoon snack.
I found that mixed nut pack in the bottom of a drawer this morning, and having it made me think about why I don't get a case of the individual servings of cashews or something for work morning snacks. Now, the immediate reason I haven't is that it's something that, in the past, I've been prone to opening up four of and having for a snack in a moment of weakness, so I've stopped keeping them around. I might get a case and keep them in the desk at work or in my car bag for this purpose, but I don't think I can keep them in the home for the aforementioned reason.
I got home full of intent to bake some chocolate chip cookies tonight. Instead, I grabbed about half a cup of chocolate chips out of the bag and scarfed them down while I got dinner ready, and put the butter back in the fridge. Chocolate, taken in moderation, is not the most terrible thing in the world... OK, it's not good for you, but straight chocolate is better than a similar amount of chocolate taken with the quarter batch of accompanying cookie dough that I would have easily eaten over the course of baking the damned things, not to mention how many I'd end up eating while they sat on my desk all day tomorrow. It was a moment of weakness, and I will do better tomorrow.
When I said the other day that I only have 3 kinds of dinners left, I should have clarified that I only have 3 DRY kinds of dinners left. I still have more than a week's worth of frozen (which I need to start tearing into before an upcoming business trip) dinners and the better part of a week's worth of frozen lunches and breakfasts. Let's not even get into the frozen snacks/desserts, I'm pretty sure I've only eaten one or two weeks worth of those since I've been on this program. I'm just not a big person for ice cream/frozen treats. At any rate, the point I'm making here is that I had a frozen Nutrisystem Spinach & Cheese Stuffed Shells entree for dinner.
First off, I apologize for the shite picture, I'm getting lazier with the damned things, I know. As sides, I had some broccoli (vegetable), carrots (vegetable), 2 Tbsp of light ranch dressing (fat), and a slice of multi-grain toast.
I don't have anything exciting planned for this evening. I'll probably check my Hulu queue and figure out who got Sweet Dee pregnant. On that note, we were told early 2011 for getting Hulu Plus on Xbox 360. So... yeah, get on that. I only signed up for that account because I don't want to give Comcast more cash for a DVR, but the longer I have to wait to watch my telly, the less sense this shit makes.
On a related note, I'm really sick of all the family-friendly ads I get on Hulu, no matter how often I say they don't apply to me. Give me the repetitive Bud Light ads and telling me that because I subscribe to one tv I'll also enjoy some other TV show that was cancelled 5 years ago and that I already watched the entire run of on Hulu before I subscribed to the show that you referred it to me because of because I actually subscribed to said show because you referred me to it as a result of me watching the entire run of the show that you have, once again, referred me to.
You get all that? Good. On a related note, whatever genius runs Youtube changed how they format their embed text, and that's why there was a double post this morning. I'm trying it again tonight in the hopes that it's been fixed. In the first post, I didn't see it show up in either the feed or on the website. On the second post, I used the blogger tool to put the video in, which is much more annoying to edit the frame size so you don't have to watch the stupid crap people put over good music.
Enjoy my experiment, Fatheads.

Goddamned Youtube
The video in the earlier post didn't work, at least for me, so here it is, in all it's glory.
Rock out, Fatheads.

Good times, onto breakfast.
This morning, I had Nutricinnamon Squares Cereal for breakfast.
Sides were an egg (protein), a slice of raisin bread toast (carbohydrate), and a juice box (fruit). I also had about 4oz of extra milk because I was finishing off the half-gallon. The egg is not quite white or yellow, as some of you might note. That is because I cooked it in the same pan as last night's dinner, to pick up some of that delicious spicy residue... and because I didn't want to have to wash dishes, today.
On with the day, it's time to flip this bitch.
A bit artsy of a video for it, but the song gets me pumped.
G'day, Fatheads.
