I'm Serious, I'm losing weight, until dinner gets here.

So my buddy mike and I are having lunch today at the usual place we have lunch, Chipotle. He says I need to lose some weight, we should go on a diet together. I say sure, sounds like a good idea. I kind of like the buddy system, works better for me. Kind of a team sports kind of guy.

We set some goals, and off we go. Couple hours later I call Mike about some other issue, and talk about the diet as well. I mention a web page called Sparkpeople. Free weight loss help page. All kinds of free tool. Great stuff.

Following that phone call I stop by a local Starbucks to pick up some Double Chocolate Chip frosty treaty treats (No coffee in them, relax) for a client. None for me though. I'm on a diet, remember. Committed to the cause. Here we go, I promised to lose some weight for Suzi's 20th HS reunion, and dog gone it I plan to do just that.

I drop by the clients office, and drop them off, and I have one left over. "Well it will be my last one", I reason. So I start sucking that bad boy down as I pull out of the parking lot.

I was sucking that thing down like I'd been on this diet for months, and had been fasting for 3 days. Not driving more than 30 yards, I hear a car horn and see some guy hanging out the window yelling at me, "WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING!!!" He wasn't talking about my driving, it was Mike. My phone started ringing 3 seconds later, and he lets me have it. He says "You couldn't even see me waving at you because you were too busy sucking that frosty thing. I had to honk and hang out my window you were so focused on that drink. How long did that take you? 15 minutes after we talk last?"

See why I like the buddy system. It works. BTW 179 is the goal.
