Updating the update

OK here is the deal. I went into a social coma for a couple of weeks, pretty much laying in bed wondering where, when, why, how, who, how much it will cost, and if it will taste good. Unfortunately this not only meant I was not exercising or preparing for  our future world take over … I was pretty much not doing much of anything. That included working on ANY of my blogs, which meant there were possibly thousands of disappointed folk out there (or more accurately five or six mildly annoyed folk), wondering where the genius of words and photos had gotten himself to. Just this weekend, I convinced all the inner demons to go vacation in Vegas or some island somewhere, and set out to reemerge again.

Unfortunately the inner demons may have obliged, but the ones hanging out elsewhere decided to take up the slack. The bureaucracy demons, having let me be for a short time, decided to pounce, playing games with my health insurance, and more importantly my ability to get drugs (legal ones … I swear!!). I have since learned that retox is even less fun than detox. But worse yet,  having come to some important decisions on where I am going with my life, and deciding to share it where I always do … namely blogs, I did just that. Only do have the WordPress demons jump in, with evil eyes gleaming, fangy mouth drooling, and bloody claws slashing. I apparently broke one of the WP commandments, and they went and Marked me. Or is that Idioted? Apparently it is illegal to have a ANY links to certain businesses unless WordPress also gets some money out of it, so in their typical friendly manner the shut my main blog down.

As a result, I have spent the last couple of days moving ALL my blogs to their own domains. I have had enough of blog Nazi’s and want to be able to steal pictures and shamelessly promote anything I want to promote! For anyone interested, this is the list of my huge collection of other blogs:

If I can do this ... anyone can!!
If I can do this … anyone can!!

The specific link that brought the wrath of god down on me was to my new Team BeachBody coaching site. I have mentioned them a few times … it is one of the methods I am using to get into shape. I found that it also offers an opportunity for me to directly help others do the same, as well as maybe actually earn some money for a change. Simply put, if anyone out there wants to start getting healthier themselves, and needs a kick in the but to help do it, come get me. Maybe together we can find a program or method that will work for you. And if anyone IS in a mood to share some of their hard-earned wealth, but doesn’t want to share it specifically with ME (I promise I won’t be TOO hurt), there is still this wonderful opportunity that we three crazy folks are offering … pledge to a charity to ensure we abuse ourselves thoroughly! Our pledge page is entirely too bare still!!

So to update the update of the update, I at least will be starting fresh again tomorrow. New exercise program, new stats, and hopefully some new pledges coming soon as well. And don’t forget my personal plug for money! It really is not about me earning money … that is really just an incidental benefit. I just think the programs I have become involved with have great value and it is time for me to start getting out and HELPING people again … not just talking about it!

I believe my current weight is about 234, but I will confirm tomorrow morning with my newest weigh in (I neglected those in my coma). I am also including a new shot of my “progress” though if there is any progress is debatable.

The second "before". Or is it a "during"?
