Call Me Irresponsible


Well, if I were Micheal Buble perhaps you could but in this case it's simply for letting an entire month go by without a single keystroke. Shame on me.

March was a difficult month on the family front. Pop came home from Harborage (Rehab facility) which is where he was for 2 weeks after his hospital stay. I was fortunate enough to find a woman caregiver who spends mornings with him but I still find myself over there 4-5 nights a week cleaning, administering meds, just spending time. I am lucky he lives so close so I guess it could be worse. I told him that when I was young he took care of me so now it's my turn to take care of him. He's a big Met fan (as am I) so I hope with baseball season upon us it turns his thoughts to better things. Maybe he'll see them win the World Series one more time?

Weight has been consistent around 193. I've kicked it up a notch with the NROL Fat Loss II routine. "Wow". I haven't lifted like this in well over a year and it feels fantastic. I have also given up booze for 30 days. Too many Friday nights with the bro-in-law getting (as we like to say) "shimmed up". Beer helped make me fat and unfortunately beer keeps me fat. So I'm off the sauce until the end of April and I know it will have a positive impact on me.

Remember that eating 7 apples in one day is not the same as eating 1 a day for 7 days.

Think about it.

Stay focused - stay strong fellow FATties. April Fools are upon us.

Good to see you posting as well. Glad to hear your dads got you so close. Baseball has to cheer everyone up, right? :) Im finishing up the NROL right now and excited to start it.

Looks like times have been tough. Hang in there, and hopefully your dad's going strong now as well.

Hope to see your Mets in the World Series.

good to see a post out of you and see that you are still working towards your health goals. Your a good son for helping care for your pops. I totally agree with your comment about him taking care of you and you returning the favor. I know I would be there for my pops too if he needed. 30 days without booze would be tuff but like you said you should see positive results. Don't forget us fatties, I am hungry for blog posts and inspiration which you all provide.
