Looks like I am consistently losing about 0.7 pounds per week. Essentially I am eating really well, moving around a lot but not doing much cardio, and I am lifting every day. I’ve been at it since mid December. I thought the weight would drop faster than it has, but at this point I can tell a pretty clear trend. I have a decent amount more weight loss to go. I would say at least another 10-15 pounds.

I don't post much, but I'm following this thread. I've been trying to lose weight and get back into shape. Started around mid-December. I've been lifting almost daily since then. I don't like doing cardio so that part is pretty limited. I have been trying to get up and move around a lot more during the day though and getting my steps in. Also, I've really tried to focus on diet. I wish the weight loss would be more, but I am down from about 225 to 214 since then. I have put on a ton of muscle, so I'm sure my body fat percentage is much improved. Clothes all fit a lot differently. I've lost a lot of belly fat and am probably down 3-4 inches in my waist size. I'd eventually like to get below 200. Seems like at the current pace it will take me a few more months.

Going to see them tonight.

From 1947 - 2005, the cut off was August 1st. From 2006 - 2017, the cut off was April 30th. Since 2018, the cut off has been August 31st. My son's birthday is end of August, so the change made a big difference for us. We've since moved on to select only.

Pretty great debut by Snyder.

I’m disappointed. There is no reason to watch the Rangers. Gallo was the lone bright spot. It’s now just a collection of journeymen and low end prospects that won’t be on the team when they’re good again. No confidence that any of these prospects will amount to anything.

Highly recommend this guy.

Ours is $2200 in the Spring. Includes uniforms, bags, 2 practices per week with paid coaches, and 12 tournaments.

Lots of signs for Hunt in the Villages as well. Probably 25% of the houses also have Trump signs. I was asked to go to a fundraiser for Hunt this week and declined. Even if I was a supporter of his (I'm not), I don't really understand how effective a fundraiser this late in the game would even be.

It can easily happen. Put someone like Bernie Sanders versus someone like Mitt Romney and watch how quicky a lot of these people move back to the GOP.

Voted in Harris county. 10 minutes in and out. There were only about 8 people in line. For the first time in my life I voted straight D. I'm a moderate conservative.

Storm volumes coming back online.

Anyone know of a Houston 10U team looking for a player for the Fall? Preferably one that practices out at Baseball USA.
