2007: A Year in Review

So, I have yet to review the events of 2007. Let's take a quick look back, shall we?

In the course of the year 2007, I:

- moved into a new apartment.
- got a new car (swanky convertible, no less)
- started on a successful weight loss track.
- created new friendships, and further developed existing ones.
- decided to lose the glasses in favor of contact lenses.
- took up the guitar.
- got a promotion at work.
- started going out more, hanging out with friends and colleagues throughout the year.

It was a pretty big year of change for me. Will 2008 hold the same amount of new things? It will be pretty hard to measure up, but we'll see what the new year holds...

A Story of Loss: 50 Pounds Gone

So, over this weekend, I hit a milestone in my journey of weight loss...50 pounds. I must say, I am pretty proud of myself in hitting this mark. It's not the end of the road, but it's definitely nice to hit that kind of number. I'm wearing clothes now that I haven't been able to wear in years, which is especially nice. I'm getting back close to my high school weight...

I have been getting some concern from a couple people re: my pretty rapid weight loss. Let me assure everyone reading, I am eating. I am just not eating near as much as I used to, and I have made dietary changes that have allowed me to hit this milestone. I appreciate the concern, and like the fact that people care enough to say these things, but I am not starving myself. I am just eating what I should be eating now...

Alright, enough of that...My Jags won over the weekend, so now they get to move on and play the undefeated Patriots Saturday night. Hopefully they can pull this one out...if they do, it will be the biggest victory in franchise history, and put them one win away from the Super Bowl.

Guess that's about all I have to say right now, so until next time...screw Flanders.
