January 22nd Weigh In
weighed myself this morning and I lost three pounds from last week. I am now down to 318lbs. I am not sure how I did that but hey I will take it. I did shave my beard off this weekend but I don't think that weighed three pounds. LOL
Review of Friends With Benefits
This movie was a cute, fun, predictable Rom-Com. What made it good was the chemistry on screen between Justin Timerlake and Mila Kunis. That is really where is Romantic Comedy is made or broke. The movie No Strings Attached earlier this year was basically the same story line but Ashton Kutcher and Natalie Portman never clicked for me and I didn't really care about what happened to them and that brought the whole movie down. In this movie Justin and Mila made me stop thinking of them as Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis and start caring about Jamie and Dylan.
The other thing that really brought this movie up a level were the small cameo/supporting characters in the movie. Opening up with Emma Stone and Andy Samberg as the two main characters boyfriend and girlfriend breaking up with them was great. Then you have Jason Segal and Rashida Jones(Of The Office and Parks and Rec Fame) play the main characters in a terrible Romantic movie the main charters watch and refer to through to the movie. Richard Jenkins as Dylan's Dad with Alzheimer's really added another level to Dylan that made you feel for him and care for him. Lastly Woody Harrelson really stole the scene when ever he was on screen as the gay sports editor for GQ. He also had the best line of the entire movie that really summed life and love, "It's not who spend Friday night with, it's who you want to spend all day Saturday with." I thought how appropriate that was as I laid on the couch with my wife on a Saturday night watching this movie.
All in all this movie isn't going to win any awards but it is a solid little movie with some good acting and great on screen chemistry. If you like Romantic Comedies like me this should go up near the top of your Netflix cue.
I give it 3 out of 4 stars!

January 21st
Today was a good day for food, I did some cleaning exercise again but over all it was just a great day!
I got up around 9 and had a few pieces of toast with some cinnamon butter. We bought the cinnamon butter awhile back and this was the first time I had used it. it was really good and I look forward to using it again. I had a glass of juice and watched some TV while I ate my toast.
After breakfast I did some cleaning for the open house. I cleaned both bathroom counters, and toilets. The bulk of my work was cleaning the shower in our master bathroom. I had cleaned a few months back but it needed another good cleaning. That took me a little while to do but it looked really nice.
After I got done cleaning I started making supper. I had laid out some hamburger earlier that was thawed out now so I started browning it in the microwave while I added all the other components to the pot for chili. I got everything put together and started simmering it on the stove at about 11:45.
For lunch we made sandwiches. I toasted my bread and had some mustard, mayo, roast beef and cheese on my sandwich. I also had some Buffalo Ranch Doritios with my sandwich.
Then we settled in and spent the rest of the day doing laundry, tending to the simmering chili and getting caught up on TV from our full DVR. I had a sleeve of Oreos during the day with a glass of milk but that was it. We got caught up on Top Chef, 90210, Once Upon A Time and Chuck.
We started watching the last episode of chuck we had at about 6:45 and we had supper while we watched it. The chili had been simmering for about 7 hours and about 6:15 I had put some cinnamon rolls in the oven. I had two bowls of chili and 5 cinnamon rolls. I know that was to many cinnamon rolls but they were just so good and went so well with the chili on a cold night. That really filled me up so I didn't have anymore to eat while we watched our Netflix movie Friends With benefits staring Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis. The review for that is coming up next.
Over all it was an OK day for eating and exersie but as I said before it was a great over all day spending time with my wonderful wife!

January 20th
Today was an OK day eating and I some of that cleaning exercise I talked about a few weeks back.
Standerd morning with juice, oatmeal and a cup of coffee. I had second cup of coffee on the way to work then. When I got to work I forgot my coffee cup in the car so that was my last coffee of the day.
Mid morning my boss had brought in some doughnuts day so I was a bad boy and had a raspberry filled doughnut and an apple fritter. I should have only had one, or had a bagle that she brought in but I had not seen a doughnut in awhile and I caved. Then around 11 they Fitness Friday down in the break room. This is where they come in and have some snacks and talk about a healthy topic. This months topic was water and hydration. They had some of these flavor packs and bottles of water you could put them in along with some oranges. I took a bottle of water and used the orange flavor pack and grabbed some orange slices. The orange slices were really good and juice. The flavor packets were so so. They made the water taste like watered down Kool-Aid and really made me crave some real Kool-Aid.
At lunch I had a ham and cheese hot pocket, a yoghurt, a string cheese and a snickers I had picked up at Wal-Greens the night before.
I got a text from our relator this morning that someone wanted to come look at our house at 7 tonight so when I got home I spent a little over an hour cleaning the house. I cleaned the kitchen dusted all the fans in the house. I dusted the entire house, I took out the trash, I cleaned up the laundry room, I cleaned cob webs off the ceiling and I cleaned the cats litter pan. It was a lot of work and I am going to count it as exercise.
After Sara got home I loaded the cat up and we left about 6:45 to let the people look at the house. We needed to make a run to Wal-Greens because they forgot to give me some drugs when I picked them up earlier in the week. Well they guy I need to talk to wasn't there so I get to make another stop there on Monday after work. While I was in there I grabbed a bottle of milk for me, a pop for my wife and some snickers for us since we were hungry and had to wait until after the showing to make supper. After we got done at Wal-Greens we drove over to the school across the street from our house and sat in the parking lot until about 8 then headed back home. The lights that we had left on when we left were off so we knew they had been there.
For supper we made Philly Cheese steaks. or at least a close facsimile. I cooked some thin steaks in a frying pan on the stove, I know that is not the healthiest way to cook steaks but it was ten degrees out side so I was not going to cook them on the grill. Then I threw in a chopped onion and some mushrooms with them. When the steaks were cooked I cut them in to thin strips and then miked back in with mushroom and onions. Next I used the mixture to make my self two phillys on hoggie buns we had bought. I also put some cheese and BBQ sauce on the phillys. I finished off the bad of Garden Salsa Sun Chips from the other night with my phillys.
Then we headed to bed around 10 and watched the 2011 World's Strongest Man finals we had recorded. We very excited to see the end and American Brian Shaw pulled out the win. Way to go USA!

Janaury 19th
Once again a good day for eating but still no exercise. I am trying to find a time and routine to get into for exercise but I have yet to find something that will work.
I woke up and made my morning oatmeal and drank some coffee and juice with it. Then had a few more cups of coffee before lunch.
For lunch I had a Ham and Cheese hot pocket, a string cheese, a yoghurt and a granola bar. Over all not a bad lunch.
Between getting off of work and class I went to the computer lab at school and worked on some homework that isn't do for a few weeks. It is weird to feel like I am so ahead of the game this quarter. I spent the whole time trying to figure out how to compare two lists of students and identify witch students had changed, been added, and removed between the new and old list. I finally got it to work out by creating two loops that compared the lists. It works right so that is good but I still don't feel it is the most efficient way to do it. I have a few more weeks and a few more ideas to try to get it to be more efficient but if push comes to shove what I have will work and I can turn it in if I needed to.
In class we finally learned how to raise an event in a program. It is the last piece of the puzzle for my horse race program I started last weekend. I am hoping to apply that logic to the horse race program this weekend and be done with it.
After class I headed home and we were going to make bacon and eggs but by the time I stopped at WalGreens to pick up a few things and then got home and showered we were both starving so we decided to make a bag of pizza rolls instead. probably not the healthiest food in the world but it was faster then making bacon. I also had some Garden Salsa Sun Chips while I was waiting for the pizza rolls to cook. I don;t know how many I ate I just know that the bag was about half empty when I was done. I probably shouldn't have eaten so man chips but I really was starving. After supper I didn't have anything else so that made the chips a little bit better.

Pretty uneventful day. I didn't exercise but I did eat good.
I got up had my morning coffee, juice and oatmeal. Then I had a few more cups of coffee on the way to and at work the rest of the morning. I do put creamer in my coffee but I try to keep it to a minimum. I am slowly working my way to drinking black coffee. :)
At lunch I had frozen mac and cheese dinner. It was not very good and I did not finish it. I also had a string cheese and a yoghurt. I had bought two dark chocolate Snickers at WalGreens last night and had planned on having one for lunch today and one tomorrow. After the highly disappointing mac an cheese dinner I ended up eating both of them. Not the best choice but I was still hungry and didn't have any other options.
At home we made dried beef chicken. You cook some chicken in the oven then when it is getting near being done you put some dried been on top of it and then some mozzarella cheese over the dried beef. It is pretty easy to make and really good. I did over cook the chicken a little but it still tasted good and you didn't notice the dryness as much when you dipped it in some Sweet baby Ray's BBQ sauce.
After supper I had the last Christmas tree cake while we watched some TV.

January 17th
Pretty boring day with good eating and no exercise. I did stay up to late as well but I will cover that later.
In the morning I got up and had a bowl of Oatmeal, a glass of juice and a cup of coffee. I am not going to speculate on how much coffee I had today but I filled my cup up multiple times before lunch.
For lunch I had a cheese and rice frozen dinner, a string cheese, a granola bar and a yoghurt. I also brought the left over Jalapeño Jack Sun chips and finished them off as well. I once again suppressed the urge to get anything from the vending machine during lunch.
I didn't eat anything between lunch and class today. I just spent my time at school working on one of my next assignments. I got a lot of it done it just needs a little tweaking.
After class I had to grab some drugs(Prescription kind not illegal kind, come on what kind of person do you think I am) at Wal-Greens on my way home. I also bought some Snickers Bars as a treat to put in my wife and my lunches for tomorrow. I had to get three because they were on sale. I was pretty happy with my self because I suppressed my urge to eat the third one and decided to wait and have it at lunch one day this week.
After Wal-Greens I stopped at Runza and got my wife and I each a Temperature Tuesday deal(only seventeen cents for the Runzas today!). I kept them at the medium size and got a lemon aide to drink.
After supper I had a Christmas Tree cake and then stayed up to late watching the World's Strongest Man competition we had recorded on the DVR in our bedroom with my wife. But it was totally worth staying up late to spend some quality time with my wonderful wife.
