My original goal was to drop the same amount of weight by May 23, 2007 but the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.fitday.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;software&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt; I bought today says I’m running a serious risk of over doing my goal by severally limiting my caloric intake of which I agreed.  The goal here is not to die, not die faster.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The funniest part about all this is that I’m now a member of the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://kotrb.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Knights of the Round Bottoms&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;, although it’s never been my bottom I’ve had the problem with. I’m more like Knights of the Round Tummies, but I didn’t see that blog out there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My biggest challenge to losing weight is that I travel a lot. As many of you frequent fliers know the road isn’t very kind when it comes to convenient, good and healthy food. Plus, I like my booze, there I said it. Fortunately, being on the road does put some distance between my and my favorite brew – &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.stonebrew.com/index2.php"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Stone Brewery:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.arrogantbastard.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Arrogant Bastard Ale&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="https://johnnysmoke.pbwiki.com/f/Homer%20Di%20Vinci.jpg"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Mmmm… Arrogant Bastard Ale&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While I won’t be able to write daily, I’ll certainly shoot for a weekly update on what I’ve done and how I’m doing. I’m also going to lean on a few of the KotRBs for ideas, suggestions and support.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Onward and downward!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Earl of Arrogant Bastard&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4722235541408798156-6064531028642614525?l=theearlofarrogantbastard.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theearlofarrogantbastard.blogspot.com/feeds/6064531028642614525/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4722235541408798156&amp;postID=6064531028642614525' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4722235541408798156/posts/default/6064531028642614525'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4722235541408798156/posts/default/6064531028642614525'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theearlofarrogantbastard.blogspot.com/2007/01/what-we-call-beginning-is-often-end.html' title='What We Call The Beginning Is Often The End'/><author><name>Johnny Smoke</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/266/3079/640/BobMoog2.0.jpg'/></author><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry></feed>
