Weight Loss Update

Posted on by Patrick

It’s that time again. A month has passed, and I need to give out the weight loss update. I visited the dietitian for my monthly appointment and got on what I am calling the “official” scale. I had a pretty good month, I lost 14 lbs this month. A slower pace than my previous 22 […]

Maggie already wrote pretty much everything I wanted to say, so go check out her entry about our viewing of the off-broadway production of HurlyBurly.

Stars in the Sky Benefit

Posted on by Patrick

Maggie posted about this already, but I thought I would describe it here as well. Thursday night we went to the “Stars in the Sky” benefit for the Association of Hole in the Wall Camps, a set of camps for kids with life threatening illnesses founded by Paul Newman.

Umbrella Update

The image most people have of New York is a tough town where no one cares about anyone. And to be honest, on most days, people would rather walk over you than help you. You get really used to basically ignoring everyone around you, especially when dealing with the Subway (be it on the train […]

Crazy Transformers

A friend of mine just sent me this link:http://students.washington.edu/colin2/breakformers/Videoplayer06.htmlIt’s a bit crazy. Some people have entirely too much time on their hands.

Diet Update

Posted on by Patrick

I went to my dietician for a followup visit yesterday, which would include the all important “weigh in”. Well, I did pretty damn good for my first 4 weeks. I’ve lost 22 lbs. since my first visit. That’s pretty nice. Although I am well aware that it’s going to slow down. To help combat that, […]
