My friends know about this, but now that it is actually starting to happen, I feel like I can talk a little about it here.

This isn’t anything epic, like a new full length cartoon. I am making a series of 5 short “eCard-like” animations for a well known website. I like the short format, and I’m pretty confident that these will be a lot of fun. I’ll post more about it when I’m comfortable everything is coming along nicely. I am still just hammering out the last few scripts right now.

I think my host had a reboot and ate last week’s update. That’s a little annoying.

Things are still going well. Maggie and I are moved in to our new place. We’re about a mile from the heart of mid-town Atlanta, and our place is nice. There is a grill just outside our door, and I think yesterday was the first day since we moved in a week ago that I haven’t used it.

I’m commuting to work by bike. I’m still working some details out such as adjusting my route to minimize huge hills. We don’t have showers at work, so I need the ride there to be as painless as possible. It’s been a great help to my diet, and it is nice not having to buy gas very often.

Diet stuff is going well. It has been one month, and I am down by about eight to ten pounds give or take.

Finally, a drink to satisfy my thirst for Pepsi and vegetables!

This reminds me of the Beefamato incident. Unfortunately, Pepsi Ice Cucumber is only available in Japan.

I’m hungry, and my stupid tacos refuse to be finished cooking and in my mouth.

Work is workin it. It looks like I’m on Squidbillies doing comp for an episode, and then I may or may not be on the next one depending on the tides or the phases of the moon.

I’ve also got a project I’ll talk about shortly to work on this month for fabulous cash prizes.

Diet is going well. I’m two days from a week, and all is going well. I’m down to 210, so I’ve lost about 6 pounds. That’s a lot, but not shocking for the first week.

You know when they tell you to check your credit report? Do it. I wasn’t a victim of identity theft, but my credit report was a travesty of nonsense. Luckily, it isn’t a huge deal, but this situation could have been much worse.

On the up-side, I go to work in the morning. Huzzah!

Oh, snap… diet stuff:

I am down to 212.2lbs. I would have to imagine that is from the initial water weight loss. I certainly have not generated a 12,000 calorie deficit in the last three days. I’m doing pretty well with The Hunger, but I could really go for a beer right now.

Today has been the first day of my new diet. Glorious. I’ve done this successfully before, so I know what to expect. That would be “I want to hunt and kill a cow, and eat it whole”.

It seems I have kept some good habits and there wasn’t too much wrong with what I was already eating in my kitchen. I just need to control the size of my portions, and I am going to have to be careful with what I eat outside of the house. It is far cheaper not to eat out, but it sometimes just unavoidable unless you desire the life of a social outcast.

Anywho, today I weigh 216.6. That is actually about 5-9 pounds [b]less[/b] than I thought I was going to weigh, so I am already well on my way to my initial goal. I’m trying to hit 190lbs, and see where I should go from there. My suggested BMI weight is 178 or so, but I looked a little freaky when I hit 185 back in the day. We’ll see what happens.
