Reunited with and old friend.....

So I have to say that I was reunited with an old friend this weekend. We used to hang out all the time, seemed everytime I ate he was around. For the past 3 years I have missed him, and finally on Sunday, we bbq'd some burgers and I thought I am gonna invite an old friend and boy did I miss him. I forgot how good Red Beans and Rice really is, simple to make, somewhat healthy and mighty tasty. It's good to have old friends come back around...interested well here you go http://shop.zatarains.com/zatarains®-red-beans-rice-p-882.html or you could simply go to the local grocery store and pickup some for tonight, you won't be disappointed I promise...

Enough is enough....

Alright, I have come to the conclusion that just like nobody is going to give me money to get out of debt, nothing is going to magically take away about 40lbs that I would like to lose, well ok make it an even 56 pounds. If I could get back to 200 even I would be so happy. The past week I gained 4 lbs, I am sure that eating out, drinking gallons of pepsi and then half dozen krispy kreme donuts had nothing to do with it, no, nothing at all. But as I stood there on that scale, looking at the increase in only a week, little kids running around, knee killing me cause I kneeled on it the wrong way, I thought to myself, you better wake up and do something about this.

So here I am confessing to whomever reads this (although I am not sure if anyone at all reads it except my beautiful wife on occassion) I am done with it. I am going to give it my all to achieve the goal of 200. I am giving myself a year, that seems like an attainable goal at this point in my life. So this time next year I will weigh 200. I am not going on any freak fad diet, I am just going to start being more active, limit my intake of Pepsi, and watch what I eat. I did it before I got married, I walked my dog everyday almost for 1/2 hour, limited pepsi to one can a day or sometimes none at all (although on weekends I would drink more usually) but I lost 10 lbs in a month, so I know I can do it, but I also know it ain't going to get any easier the older I get...so wish me luck.....

ClamatoMac

I like to cook. If I had the money, I would open a restaurant and do that for a living. I like to BBQ, and I would love to learn how to smoke some good ole pork butt and brisket. But I also like cooking simple things, and one of my favorite is the following:
Boil up some pasta, either elbow mac or some twisty noodles
Drain them and then cover in Clamato juice. I like adding a crushed chicken bouillon cube also. Warm it up and enjoy. I can eat this until I am sick....
