Just sent this to Fr. Shane Tharp, my inspiration in dropping weight (cuz, Jolly silliness aside, I kind like to live to see lots of grandkids). Fr. Shane has dropped a *lot* of weight over the past couple years and turns out to resemble Hugh Laurie of House. Hence, I wrote:
Padre:
Bless me, Father, for I have thinned!
Broke the 300# barrier this AM. Down to nearly 295# from my starting high of 334#. First time I’ve been that far south in over a decade. Excelsior!
When I get skinny, I plan on looking like Dr. Wilson, only younger.
It turns out that when I eat less and move more, I lose weight. Life is full of surprises. Of course, the trick is the “move more” part. Being a writer means spending large portions of life in a chair. Still and all: WOO HOO! Rejoice with me and kill the organic lean beef calf!
