Loser......so far according to the Wii Fit
...So I'm at 188lbs according to the Wii Fit as of today. I really feel pretty good....stole a couple bases in the last 2 softball games, haven't been sore after any of the games...well except when I slid into home last night.....didn't feel bad until I could hardly move at 3am!!! That didn't last long though. I'm loving the Fit.especially the Yoga exercises. I've never one Yoga before but find that I like it a lot...More soon including the final weigh-in in July.

Fit and trim....
Kinda...well the new mayor has a fitness competition going on in Crown Point. The "Biggest Loser" contest takes groups of 10, weighs them on a truck scale, and sees what group loses the most weight in 3 months. Our group has lost 87lbs in 2 weeks...starting at a whopping 2450 lbs. I lost 4 lbs before the competition and 3 since...now at 196 lbs personally.
I'm working on a Bowflex Treadclimber for 30 minutes a day and doing (and shutup ahead of time) Wii boxing for 20 to 40 minutes a day. I'll try to keep up on all of this as much as I can.
I've also ordered the Wii fit...I'll let you know....I know...you just can't wait for all my posts...you even have me on an rss feed don't you......

Where Do I begin?
It's amazing on how much there is to tell when you get lazy busy. Everything at the firehouse is good now that we have a new mayor and our old chief back.
I've gone along with the Team and got out of Quixtar. (As an aside, I had posted occasionally on Quixtar in the past and got a legal notice saying I couldn't do it or lose my business....so I had to take all current and past references out of my blog. Now I never had anything bad to say about them at the time. They just had strict rules about posting, I guess).
I am going to eventually get into another business the Team is into...MonaVie. I can't get in for 6 months due to a non-compete clause ( as another aside, I called after I quit an asked if I could get into another MLM that was not competing with the same products Quixtar had. They said I could not. So that's like saying if my wife, an RN, had a non-compete clause in a hospital, she could not only not work in a nearby hospital, but she couldn't work in the medical field at all for 6 months!!!)

Election over...let's rebuild
So our city election is over and a new mayor in. Phew!!! It's been a long 4 years putting our progressive fire department back to about 1992. So it's time to restart. Our department went through the years with 4 different chiefs including the one from out of the area that just quit after 3 months. The old mayor made him take down the tribute to 9-11 on our sign outside our station.
We do have a good bye to our past mayor, Dan Klein...a hidden message in our next sign:
B uckle Y ourselves E very D ay A nd N ight
...you think we'll get into trouble with this one? Were just saying farewell to a .....ummmm.....friend.......
And I guess my pathetic attempt to gain readers by using sex,etc failed miserably showing that the readers out there, are way above this. Good job!! It was just a test and you guys passed with flying colors!!!!!
...no really...it was a test....
Anyway..hope everyone had a great holiday season...hope to hear from you soon...
