I hoped you were! I was getting scared because that's all I've been eating.... turkey, fish, egg whites and red meat... every blue moon!


Well, this will be the last time I'm on for awhile so let me take the time to say, HAPPY THANKSGIVING to you Sapphire and to all others who venture into my thread, post or not posting.

Good-bye everyone for now and I will be back some time soon!

Best of wishes to all of you. I must go now and face into the visions of "Something Beautiful" for awhile.

xoxo to you all!

OK, I thought I was going out of town but that isn't the case because I am slightly under the weather and a small road trip would probably make me even sicker!

So I am here!

Real quickly before I snooze off to bed!

Date tonight.

Cold tonight

This is what I have to wear because it's 50 degrees or so!



Seriously, I am forever changing in style these days and I have again, to thank myself for the motivation, sweat, tears (no blood) and hard work that I've been doing. Mostly, I have my most-excellent trainer to thank, too!

This is a partial and yes, half assed picture I took but you know what? It's a good tease-sneak preview of what's to come.

 

[david]

THAT is a pic of you David? It doesn't look like you...

 

[david]

I know... strange, huh? I screwed up in the picture as you can see however, I can assure you that it is me!

2 more months and Goal #1 with Debi should be achieved!

I am so excited! 6 weeks and 44 lbs dropped! Scary, huh!?!

 

[david]

I don't know what's up with this camera but it looks wet!

Oh well!

OK now that looks more like you... the other one really didn't at all. 44 pounds WOW! Congrats! You should be SMILING in any picture!

 

[david]

OK, here's a half smile!

 

[david]

Last picture for at least two more months of me-wise! This picture was weird because it looks really wet and glow-y? LMAO!!!

OH well...

 

[david]

Whew! OK, now that that's over!

I am freaking tired! I just got done training Max and I have to go do my training for legs. Well, that's not going to happen until 5:30 pm.

Late last night I had a "freak" call and a girl-friend of mine is thinking of suicide! I felt so bad and the only words I could tell her besides the redundant-mondain b.s. of the many reasons to live etc... I tried to tell her of the things she has in her life that she CANNOT just leave behind........ that she certainly is "NOT FINISHED in seeing things that need to be seen. I tried telling her and asking her "what is it that I CAN DO for her to make her change her mind.... " I mostly had to tell her that wt/ her in my life I would feel empty inside and that her tragic life ending would cripple me emotionally.. I mean what more can one say or I say without sounding selfish?

I guess this is all pending and that either the worse or the better is about to happen and soon!



God bless her..............

A cute picture of my trainer... thought I'd throw this in.

 

[Sapphire]

Looking lean and mean David! Congrats! Now you know it's not so bad eating turkey and egg whites!

Keep it up!

And your trainer is a cutie..

 

[david]

I wouldn't say either "Lean or Mean" Definitely, not "mean"....

I have 3 phases and I'm half way thru the 1st phase....

I can't wait for the third phase though...

That's when I'll be "staring into something beautiful" or "to die or not to die"

"I still say I need a face lift and right eye adjustment and nose!" Oh well maybe I won't travel this winter and devote the money on that, instead.

Hey David!!!
Sorry We didn't get to meet up in Florida-- we were going nuts at that Florida airport trying to get an earlier flight home!! Sucked!!! Sure is a beautiful city though!!

hope you had a wonderful thanksgiving!

Hi Stacey!

That's no problem. I was up in Orlando for 1 1/2 days myself. Took care of some business and saw friend's but no family! (Next time for the family) I also spoke to Lorraine (from MM.com who stops in once in awhile here, too) and ran into Freeman from IM.com.

Well, when I venture into Houston, hopefully, we can meet up there!

Yes, the Orlando Intl' airport is rather nice and pretty, too! The monorail and the lakes/green grass is very nice. Then when you head out towards Cape Canaveral, what is green turns swampy and dry!

I hope you had a great time and I'm sure you did. Did you post any pictures up anywhere?

Tell me, you DID NOT get a picture of you guys and Disney Characters at the airport.................................... did you??

 

[Stacey]

Lmao at you David!!! No I did not get a picture at the airport w/ Disney characters..we didn't even see any ...but don't worry-- I probably wouldn't have!

That airport is VERY nice!! We were there from 11-4pm ... soo I walked around it a lot--wishing I had your number with me. I forgot it at home!

Thats awesome you got to meet up with Lorraine and Freeman! Too cool.
YES- when you come to houston we will meet up for sure if you have time!

I did have a great time, thank you! I haven't posted any pics yet..but will soon!

Have a wonderful day cutie!

No Disney Characters in the airport?? Maybe OIA or MCO (Airport code) finally BANNED those nuisances! That is too-too funny! 11-4pm!! Was that on the said date of "Friday"??? Hmmnn... I knew I should've swung by there but the chances of me running into you would be like looking for a salmon in a river during non spawning season! Did that make sense? Hmmnn... it's funny bc/ I was supposed to leave at 11pm Thursday but ended up leaving at 4:00 am early Friday and arrived Orlando at 7:30 am. I think I "chuckled" around with my friend, dragged his butt to Gold's Gym and got back around 12 pm to his place. I think I fell asleep during the time you were in the airport. Hmmnn... I guess you could say the statement of, "Since I snoozed.... I lose!"

Yes, I will give you a shout out when I'm in town. Too bad you didn't live in Dallas, I usually connect there or Chicago when I travel. I was in Dallas for 2 hours last time... walking around... observing people and relaxing. In other words, Bored out of my mind!

Have a great day, sweetie!

Side note:

I just relooked at my own pictures recently posted and man, my hair is so uncombed! That's what I get for throwing on that outfit coming home, sweaty right after the gym!

Thank God, Freeman didn't see me like that! He would've ran away from me!

 

[david]

New Products for me:

VHT Protein shake

Scitech Strawberry/White Chocolate (mmmmnnn.. delicious!)

 

[david]

Monday:

Double split session in WPB with Debi!!!

Great Workout!!!
