by Stephen Vinson December 12, 2011

Saturday: Started my day with a short drive over to Brotha Wife’s (Will) place for a 3 mile run. Which ended up being my fastest 3 miles thus far! After Tiffany (Will’s wife, aka Photo Intern) showed off her hot new hairdo, Will and I grabbed sushi before I drove back home. Then, I got [...]

The Lounge Guys & The Christmas Party…

by Stephen Vinson December 10, 2011

The pic above is from last night’s “A Very Lounge Christmas” show that I went to. If you can’t tell that’s Paula Dean and Martini Bob belting out a duet. I’m blogging live from the Christmas Party that I’ve been blabbing about for a few days now. Being alcohol free has been easier than expected. [...]

Today’s Non-Scale Victory

by Stephen Vinson December 9, 2011

Today, I’m at Radio Active, a local car stereo shop. I’m having a power cable repaired on my truck. While they are working on my truck, I’m sitting in the waiting room. I remember like it was yesterday, coming to Radio Active when I bought my truck (11 years ago), and having to stand for [...]

Christmas Candy: No Thank You

by Stephen Vinson December 8, 2011

It’s the Christmas Season, and with it comes beautiful outdoor lighting displays, Christmas trees, and presents. Also, in my office, it brings lots and lots of sweets, including cakes, cookies, pies, chocolate bark, and candy. (Admittedly, I used to make and bring some of these.) These goodies are always placed right near the coffee maker, [...]

Sunday & Monday Update

by Stephen Vinson December 5, 2011

My apologies for not blogging yesterday. I intended on typing up a post but crashed early while watching TV. First, guess I better confess about Saturday night. I ate some crap that I’m not supposed to. Well, rather I should say that I binged on some candy and chips. I did this after publishing my [...]

Saturday

by Stephen Vinson December 3, 2011

It’s been a rough weekend. I felt okay until I went to the grocery store this morning. I don’t know why, but sadness overwhelmed me. I miss my little fella so much, and keep replaying Thursday night in my head. The cat’s confused. She keeps looking around for Cracker. What’s so sad is how suddenly [...]

Lazy Day

by Stephen Vinson December 2, 2011

Today’s been a lazy day. I didn’t feel like going to work. I didn’t feel like doing anything. I stayed home, skipping my scheduled workout with Julie at the Y. (I, of course, gave her advance notice that I wasn’t going to make it.) Fortunately, I didn’t binge today. I’ll be running 5 this weekend. [...]
