I am a tennis widower this weekend as my wife is off with friends watching the Laver Cup for the last three days 12 hours a day. I will watch 1 tennis match (preferably the shorter women matches) but 12 hours is way too much tennis for me. Baylor won and looked good yesterday but the schedule is about to get really difficult starting with Oklahoma next week.

Been fighting hunger and mindless eating recently. I'm determined to keep an eye on it, but I can see it is no walk in the park.
Good week to all

Broke down and went car shopping again. While normally I would go "new" new off the lot I opted to take the "pre owned" new route this time. It was the model I wanted, color I liked, was a returned 2016 lease car with less than 23,000 miles and deal was within tolerances. Was after an upgrade to a truck or small SUV from 4-door coupe and frankly I'm too frugal to justify spending for brand new, eating the depreciation in the process, to have it sit in a building collecting dust, spider webs and mouse crap since I have a city vehicle to drive during the week. Has all the bells and whistles. First road trip will be this weekend to Starkville, MS.
Football! 
Mississippi State was looking too much to this weeks game against Florida with former Head Coach Dan Mullens and was not concentrating on last night's game with Kentucky. Were handed their butts 28-7. Alabama handed A&M theirs as well as LSU giving back La. Tech theirs and the Gators at the Volunteers. Congrats to Texas Tech for beating OSU for the first time in several years. Dallas and Seattle this afternoon.
As always need to work on the eating and exercise fronts. Short week so will be another wonky one in those regards.
Have a Great Week, Gents!! 
Never, and I mean NEVER, trust a fart!! 
I got the phone call today. My VSG procedure was approved by my insurance and my surgery date was scheduled for November 26th!!!
GREAT NEWS!!!
Strong meme game this week John! That one might be able to last us through two weeks.
Don, my wife and daughter are going to Taylor Swift at AT&T in a couple of weeks. I have heard that stadium is pretty amazing but I've never been.
Bill - ouch.
Back to work this week. It went well, no impromptu naps in my office. I worked from home on Wednesday which helped break the week up, I think I'm going to do the same this week. Watched parts about 4 different games yesterday. Some of Notre Dame, Army, Ohio State/TCU and most of Baylor getting drilled by Duke. The big news around these parts was Wisconsin losing at home to BYU. College football Saturday's are the best.

Last week I was at 260. This week I am at 258 1/2. I am on narcotic pain killers for the third time this summer. I'm not a wimp. I just keep having painful stuff happen to me. This last event was stubbing my toe twice over a period of several weeks. So what's so painful about that? It really hurts when the second time, you rip your big toenail half off all the way down to the quick, and then have to get the doc to chop it the rest of the way off - again down at the quick. It didn't even weigh enough to make a difference at the scale. I am two days past that and no pills today, so that's a positive move.
Have a good week everyone!

Like 'em or not Alabama is TOUGH for any team! Skinning the Land Sharks of the University of Mississippi, PC has taken over there no longer Rebels and dropping Ol' Miss, was certainly appreciated at the football watching party we were at in Tyler. Mississippi State plays there November 10th. State easily handled LSU-Lafayette 56-10 and with a last seconds chip shot LSU dropped Auburn by one - in Auburn. Ohio State beat TCU and the Longhorns gouged the Trojans. Giants come to "Jerryworld", AT&T Stadium, to play the Cowboys in their home opener.
Managed to mow Monday after Dr. appointment and there was enough regrowth to mow yesterday. 
Ready for that weekly chore to end for the year. Getting close to it. The drive through Christmas light park opens in two months.
Know what I need to do to get the numbers better. Just a matter of doing it!
Have a Great Week!!

Not a bad week because I reduced snacking, but still could have done better with food. I was able to get in a decent bike ride last Sunday, but had to blow off a 75 mile ride yesterday to get ready for a business trip today. Speaking of which, business trip to Colorado this week means I need to be careful with Mexican food again. This will also be a tough week for activity. I'll be taking a three day vacation next weekend to hang out in the Wisconsin Dells with Family, so I'll be absent from the weigh in.
The Michigan game wasn't televised here, so I tried watching Alabama. Ughh. After 10 minutes I had to do something else. I should have stayed up to watch Ohio State, but didn't. With the trip today, I'll miss out on most of the pro games also.
See you in a couple weeks.
