Diet Phase I Complete

Well, I've made it past the first 12 weeks of the diet. Results:

Lost 10 lbs of weight.
Lost 21.91 lbs of body fat.
Gained 11.91 lbs of lean muscle mass.

Not too bad. I've already started Phase II. Since stock shows are over and we're working towards selling the sheep, my time to spend at the gym is hopefully going to increase. I've gone down a pants size and cleaned out some of the "huge" shirts out of the closet. I'm hoping to reach my goal by my birthday (February 16).

Angels' Season Over

Well, the Red Sox completed their sweep of the Angels in the ALDS last night. The Angels aren't making excuses, but the injuries piled up on them at the last of the season. They had a good season, however, and should be right back there again next year. I want to say a personal 'Good Job' to my friend Reggie Willits. We are so proud of you!

So now I'm rooting for the Indians and Rockies. I'm ready for some new blood in the World Series. I guess, really though, it's been fairly new blood the past few years...

I would love to have been a fly on the wall at that bash. Imagine what a person could learn...
