Two Personal Projects

Outrageous Sideburns - Week 2

I’ve taken it upon myself to enact two projects involving my personal appearance. The first, and most important, is the LOSE 25 POUNDS PROJECT. I weigh 213, which is the most I’ve weighed since I met my wife. We successfully dieted in 2006-2007, and I dropped down to below 180. At my wedding, I weighed 193 which was ok but not great. I really like how I look at 185-ish, so that’s what I’m angling for here. I’ve actually been pretty good about hitting the gym for the past six months (this crazy busy month where I’ve rarely left work before 7pm excepted), but since the honeymoon I’ve been super bad about my eating habits and have climbed rapidly back up.

THAT DOG WON’T FLY!

So that’s it. The 25 LBS Project. I will be updating this blog with status updates regularly, not so much because anyone reading this cares, but because I am trying to force myself to publically acknowledge that I’m a fatass.

Fatassitude: acknowledged.

The second, and more amusing project, is the Long Hair and Outrageous Muttonchops project, which is endorsed by my wife. I’m letting my hair grow (it’s currently longer than it’s been since at least 2004 … which still isn’t very long), and I’m growing a pair of ridiculous sideburns. Why am I doing this? Sheer boredom!

The picture above shows Week 2 of the project. I will update weekly with new pics until I get tired of this absurdity and shave.
