So we want to Casey and Margaret’s wedding this weekend. Fancy Fort Wayne wedding! The ceremony was at the Catherdal downtown and then the reception was at the Summit Club which is on the 25th floor of a building downtown so you have a nice view of the city. The only problem was that we went to find our table (lucky #13) and it was already full! It turns out there were two tables worth of 13’s so they had to set up another table in a different section from everybody else. Later we found out no one was sitting at table #3. Mystery solved! Since Casey and Margaret both went to Dwenger and Casey and Margaret’s sister (and Casey’s dad for that matter) all worked at Dwenger, it was like a Dwenger reunion! It was great to see everybody again though. Schafer lost a TON of weight! He looked like a Greek god! He said he was under 200 lbs. It’s definitely the first time he’s weighed less than me.
Then, after we came home, I attended the self-proclaimed “largest booksale in the midwest” at the Hyde Park co-op. It was okay. I only bought 6 books (for a grand total of $3.75!). There were a lot of books there, but I was spoiled by the Wayne library’s book sales, where the selection was much better. In particular, the sci-fi section at this book sale was pretty much non-existant, the fantasy section literally was non-existant, and what little horror there was was just mixed in with the fiction! Since that pretty much encompasses all I read, it wasn’t that great for me. To be fair though, this was the second day of the sale.
So, if you recall, we were trying to lose some weight between Jeremy and Casey’s wedding (61 weeks). Sara and I both blew our goal’s out of the water! My starting weight was 219.6 lbs. and my goal was 209.0 lbs. Here are the final statistics:
Original Final Difference
Weight: 219.6 lbs. 204.6 lbs -15 lbs (6.83%)
Upper arm 36 cm 35.5 cm -0.5 cm
Forearm 29.8 cm 27.9 cm -1.9 cm
Thigh 67.6 cm 64.7 cm -2.9 cm
Calf 39.0 cm 38.0 cm -1 cm
Chest 113.7 cm 110.6 cm -3.1 cm
Waist 100.6 cm 96.2 cm -4.4 cm
Low waist 105.8 cm 102.0 cm -3.8 cm
Hips 114.3 cm 111.9 cm -2.4 cm
The whole thing went pretty well. Aside from working out more (which I kind of slacked off on at the end), it was really just eating better. I watched what I ate some, but also we just started making more meals at home and making healthier things (read not 100% frozen food). So that’s that. After seeing Schafer at the wedding I’m sort of inspired to try to lose a little more!
Okay, check this out, here’s an honest to goodness serious science article about teleportation. I mean, it really sounds like they’re actually making advances in that field! It’s not a joke, check it out! That just blew my mind, very strange. Speaking of which, way to go America! Sweeping the science Nobel prizes for the first time since 1983!
And finally, here‘s a nice time wasting game. Basically, you are a stick-figure archer. Click and shoot the bad guys. Straight forward. Just the way I like it.
