OKCPirate

I look froward to hearing about your results. I am still about 20 pounds from my ultimate goal, and like yourself, I am about 2 years out!

I will be reporting back in six weeks. I checked out the diet plan from someone who had done it previously and my only concern is actually eating as much as he wants me too. but it's exciting to have money on the line, and a group dynamic.

I have 2 friends who did his challenge and they rocked it! You will too. Good luck. Keep us posted.

I wish I could but it is raining cats and dogs!

No moon here last night, just clouds and rain!

Yes it was a beautiful sight... tired of social media and main stream media spin...

That's awesome. :-)

I was never able to do push-ups. Even when I was in the service!

Sounds great. If I try pushups, the blood flows, but right into my brain, thereby fogging it up. Blood flows, flood blows.

damn that is a great idea! i dont do a damn thing and am really frustrated with myself. i should do push ups first thing when i get up in the morning. is that too much to ask? NO! good job man!

Glad you like it.

 

Nice. Thanks @OKCPirate!

Yes...

I will have to look up that crust recipe

http://damndelicious.net/2016/07/13/best-cauliflower-pizza-crust/ This is the recipe I found, first time followed it as written, second time I added a extra egg, and the crust turned out better (held together better, which might be because of the size eggs I have).

Thanks, I'm going to try it.

I took a motrin and iced it. Much better today. Don't know what I did, but dang it hurt.

Watch out for the motrin.... occasion use is probably okay... hope the healing is happening and your gimpy walk is less noticeable

Yes @defibvt, thankfully just one pill was enough. Ice helped too.

Your girl is beautiful. "The Pirate and the Princess." There's one of those father-daughter stories with a mushy ending in there. Who should direct?

What a beautiful young woman!!! Congrats!!!

That is great!!! You must be a proud Dad!!! Just more to celebrate in life!!!

Career op: Healthy food truck on campus!!!

 

For me, that is the worse, when there isn't even any 'better choices' to make. I also hate that my friends and neighbors, when they ask if I want to go to eat with them, if I can pick the place... call me Mr Indecisive, I always say, I can always find something to eat. Happy Labor Day Mr OKCPirate

That's the story here. I'll hear the REAL bouncing story later.

Well in this case, this is what I meant by bouncing...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGp0qc5eex0

Isn't it liberating to be able to act like a 'normal' person, without ridicule??? Glad to hear your having fun and enjoying your new life OKCPirate

Directly to my ass.

 

ADD and CDO. (Why they don't put it in the proper order is beyond me. It's just wrong).

Funnybones. To me you'll always be the picture of mental health, not the poster child.

Interesting video, thanks for sharing.

Awesome and thanks for sharing! Inspirational as well as thought provoking... Helps put things into perspective

@defibvt glad you liked it

I enjoy your posts. Thanks again

@WLSResources/ClothingExch - you are not chopped liver, but I don't want to go so far over the top that Alex has to slap me down. She did enough of that....opps, TMI

Your subtlety is impressive. Now I've got the scenario.

lol wow

opps, thanks

Thanks a lot for leaving me here in the dust. I saw your re-do without noticing the change and thought you'd deleted my note. Talk about feeling banished.

I certainly can't add anything to this!!! WLSResources/ClothingExch said it best!

 

Think that had us all worried for a bit...my first thought was Oh No...not relationship troubles...anyone else jump to that conclusion?

No relationship troubles, not even close. I was just glad to be feeling good again.

Glad you are feeling better

I make the world's best chicken soup (according to reports---all written by me!). If we lived closer, I would bring you some.--or maybe a diet ginger ale to drink with a straw. Feel better, Friend. Your posts are missed.

I have gotten sick once since my surgery, felt weak and exhausted, ended up in an ER, they couldn't find anything, other than my blood pressure was low, they ended up giving me 2 liters of IV fluids and I was feeling a little better. Glad to hear you're feeling better... from what I have seen in the ICU, patient's with any bariatric surgery, tend to have less reserve, so once they get sick, they get sicker faster, why I see many in the ICU.

Interesting. No one knew what virus it was, but it stank.

Maybe if you give it Euro flair? Libideau? .... Oh, oh, never mind. You referred to ES, not SO.

Actually isn't mine (just don't let her into my life). It was actually my SO talking about her ex.

Yes, I personally try to NOT think about my ex, and focus on my life going forward and my son...

with a rowing machine - is the resistance adjustable? I love to canoe, but I've never used a rowing machine.

Yes

I may well give it a try if I join a gym in the Autumn. I think I might enjoy that.

OK and SO sitting in a tree...

<3

 

that's wonderful! yesterday on the way home David took me to walk the pier on my favorite beach even though we didn't have time, really. after the last week I had it was the perfect way for him to care for me too. You're a keeper and I hope you two are always so happy together.

I agree, I would be melting at hose temps, but now.... I enjoy being a little more warm!! Hope the A/C is fixed by now!

Ahhh, the A/C is back. Got to love America and a good Heating and Air Guy who happens to be a neighbor.

Yes! I was always so miserable in the heat before surgery. I have not good AC in my car

Pirate, you set me up here to make a difficult choice. Do I tease you because you and your sweetie feel like teenagers over the T-shirt thing? Or do I exhale a sigh of relief that it's only T-shirts that you wear before sealing in a plastic bag and handing to her? I knew there was something weird about the water in Oklahoma.

It's just one of those things about her. If it is that easy and it makes her happy, I'm going to do it. After being told so many times "sorry no chemistry" no I have a women who really likes my pheromones, I will do what I can to keep her happy

Never let go! Never let go! Never let go! So happy for you and your Special Lady.

And I don't live there for a reason, though I would love to. Looking at Florida, no income tax and if you get the right area, they leave you alone.

UCLA man - I just got out of my hot tub. Yep, stark naked. I'm in Oklahoma. I have been sampling some stuff I picked up in CO . And you know what? The people here leave you alone when you are not hurting them. The problem with too many people is they just want to look for a reason to complain. And it sucks that it happens in CA which is the place where no one should ever complain. You can be utterly be out of your mind and it would take years for anyone to figure it out because it is so dang nice to be there. I complimented most of the people who live there, I love the vibe of the place, I just hate the dang over reaching government, lighten up.

 

Note: I do hate the damn California refugees. I noticed this while doing projects in AZ and NV. There are many California refugees who leave because of costs and taxes. Strangely they move east and start demanding the same expensive services to be paid for by other people in a new state. Umm, how many budgets can you bankrupt? So hopefully Trump builds a wall to our south and along the CA border. -- And to those who don't know me that is hyperbole (if you don't know what that word means, please Google it, or just don't comment).

I'd live in Cali or right across the border in Mexico if my kiddos weren't in NY. Hoping to move out there once they're a little older.

It was about as perfect as I could stand. Found out more great things about my girlfriend. Watched the best wedding ceremony I have ever seen. They are creating a blended family, so they asked the kids to come up and they wrote special vows to the kids, promising not to show favoritism, nor separate them from their other parent. Very moving, and needed.

Wow...great update. Happy belated birthday.

That is the best start to a forever family. thanks for sharing the update!

A very merry birthday to you. Have a super time.

Happy Birthday, @OKCPirate!!! I'm not a Jimmy Buffet fan - but his concerts look like they're a good time!

Sorry just seeing this... living outside of the BIG D, heard all about the Buffet concert... hope you had fun! Happy Birthday!
