THE END

This is thankfully the end of this chapter in my life!! Ive been working nights now since January its been a wild ride full of ups & a butt load of downs. Tonight is my last night on this job hopefully this will be my last job on nights for the year, Ive worked enough nights i kind of feel like a owl minus the feathers.

I guess I'm kind of shaped like one too (HOOT!!)

I guess it's time to get back jiggy or as my wife says (Get you fine on) I'm going to take a day off to re coupe then move forward & start this new chapter

Here's to new beginnings !

Mardi Gras 2010

My wife & me

My wife & her nutty friend
My Wife & Son

My son showing his Saints Pride I think every drunk around came over to give him a high five or take a picture with him


Just random pic's

Spring has sprung

Spring has arrived!! While we will get a few more cold fronts its nice to see some green. I love this time of year there's nothing better then walking outside to the smell of fresh cut grass although this will get old in a few months when I'm having to cut my yard about every 5 days. But right now today its great. this should be my last week of nights & 7 days a week work so it will be time to refocus on my task at hand getting this weight off! I look forward to being back on my bike riding Alligator Bayou with my wife.

Moments

Moments

by Paul Curtis

a life is merely moments

interconnected

like the links of a chain

just moments

some fleeting

some lingering

sometimes singular

sometimes strung together

one upon another

to make experiences

in turn making a life whole

life consists only of moments

moments that comfort

moments that elate

moments of sadness

moments of joy

moments of pain

moments of ecstasy

moments to cherish

some moments are finite

others radiate through a life

like ripples on a pond

left by a rising fish

others remain rooted in the past

becoming distant memories

yet some are perfect moments

and are easily recalled

in perfect clarity

you are my most precious moments

I gave this to my wife a while back during a tough time. I guess I need to relate to it now

crap

I'm tired mentally, physically, my weight's getting ugly, need a day off work since Jan 8th Ive had 3 days off work, Ive worked a total of 6 weeks of nights 2 weeks of days 12 to 13 hrs a day with a hour to and from work. My eating sucks I have a new bike all I can do is look at it to tired to work out I'm not going to be able to do the first 2 duathlons i planned to do one is on Sunday the next one is 3 weeks away I have at lease 3 more weeks on nights. I miss my wife and Son!! Hell I guess you can just call me piss n mone I'm in a bad place right now.

I finally got me a new bike well new to me anyway. This is my treat to myself for working a month of nights. Now I will be working 7-12's for the next month or so on days so I guess I will only be able to look at it for a while. I'm still trying to get back on the right path its been hard with super bowl party's (at work of all places) & now Mardi Gras. Its been one big party down here for the last few weeks.

WHO DAT

WHO DAT!!!!

Being from Louisiana it is amazing to see the Saints going to the Super bowl

Well things were going good on getting my self back on track& now this is my view for every night for the next month or so. I will be working 7 days a week 13hrs a day till the first of March. I'm on week 2 already

I have finally adjusted to nights & plan to start back exercising on Monday morning.

Well i did it I finally made myself get on the scale i haven't weighed myself since probably September in August I weighed 256Lb today 280Lb I new it was going to be ugly, but what can I say? I just have to suck up my issues & move forward because moving back sucks, I have set my goals for the year. 1. run a half marathon 2. do a full sprint triathlon not a mini. 3. Get my 5k time back under 40Min. 4. I want to do a 100Mile bike ride. as far as weight goes i never set goals I just celebrate them 10 pounds at a time although when I do get to 230Lbs I will do something for myself. What it will be who knows?

Its been awhile since Ive posted, i have been in a kind of fog for a while. To say i have fallen off the wagon is a understatement, I blew the damn thing up. I will be weighing, taking pics & measuring on sat i will post later. The pics Ive posted are just random pics since i last posted I love photography so here are a few
