And I’m normal. I got on the weight composition machine before my workout today and I’m down to 293 pounds and 24.6% body fat. 25% is normal for good health. Feels good to be back on top… I probably have weighed 293 pounds since… oh the 9th grade.
OK. So I’m back from Utah. I had a good time at the blurbodoocery and seeing friends I hadn’t seen since the Summer. Chuck was happy to see me and even came and snuggled with me a few nights. I’m pretty sure he knew something was up when I was leaving at 4am in the morning on Tuesday. He looked at me like, “Hey. Wait. You can’t do this to me again.” Sad. Leta has definitely grown up a lot in the seven months I’ve been gone. One major thing? When I make faces at her now she looks at me thinking, “What the hell are you doing?” Cute kid.
Saturday night Sarah, Arlo and I went to a local bar to catch The Mother Hips. Let me just say, Utah measures each alcoholic drink they serve. One. Shot. Not worth it. Sarah got me hooked on vodka tonics then (with a lime) and last night when we went to the bar in Carrollton they FREE POUR. And I only spent ten dollars on four drinks. FOUR. Anyway, the show? Sucked. Apparently The Mother Hips think it’s cool to jam out for 20 minutes playing the same guitar riff and repetitive drum beat. I mean, it’s cool you guys smoke pot and all, but play some good music. You can read Sarah’s take on the show here.
Definitely my favorite picture from the night. Yes I have a mini mullet… and a Fu Manchu.
I didn’t take many pictures while in Utah, the ones from Saturday night are off of Sarah’s camera, I decided to leave the Rebel at home because I didn’t want to carry one more bag. Mistake. I’m sorry to all of the people I didn’t get to spend time with, the bad weather in Dallas taking two days off my trip kinda ruined things. I’ll be back in July though.
My weight loss goals before then are to get down to around 20% body fat and 270 pounds. Pretty reasonable I think.

I rocked the FU for a little bit when I was in grad school. It was fun but not sure if someone wants to see a Dr. with a silly stache. If you step up your cardio and cut back on the sugar and refined carbohyrdrates you’ll lose that really easy. Do you drink a lot of calories? Shoot me an email I’ll give you a few easy tips that will help.

Hey George….
Came your way through some relatives you have that blog as well. I’ve spent most of the day trolling through your site. But I decided that I had to tell you that I love anyone that would have Real Life’s Send Me an Angel on a dance play list (07/29/06.) One of my favorite songs of all time. I would say that means I think I love you, but I’m close to twice your age and that would creep me out.
Thanks for making my day a little more tolerable, however.

How tall are you, GEORGE!? You look slimmer than 293.
Sally // Mar 28, 2008 at 7:10 pm
A mini mullet and a FuManchu and you think you’re normal now? Somehow I think 293 was a typo. Maybe 239? Even that is a stretch.

I just have one question…’4am in the morning’. Is there such a thing as 4am in the evening?
GEORGE! // Mar 28, 2008 at 9:39 pm

i know you’re tall but i still can’t believe you weigh that much. good work and keep at it regardless, i’m jealous!
also, i totally had no idea what “free pour” even was until jon posted something on flickr about it. i’ve never seen anyone measure anything in a bar here, and thank god for that because i’d need like at least 12 drinks to get buzzed if that were the case.

I don’t think you look good like everyone else does. I think you look like a hooker.
Ashley // Mar 30, 2008 at 10:09 pm
You look like Jack Black in the picture.

G!! You are super skinny now, jeez don’t lose too much more or you’ll waste away! (I like guys with a bit of muscle!) Love the beard too, it suits you.

Personally, I find Fu’s much easier to ride than your average ’stache.
