I figure with clothes and my phone/iPod/loose change in my pockets that puts me below 250 for the first time in at least a couple years. I think the last time I weighed in there (probably December '09?) I was up around 275.

Bigger deal to me was getting my jean size down to a 38 waist for the first time in even longer. Dunno how much longer it'll take to get to a 36 but I think that's the ultimate goal. Can't even remember the last time I wore a 34. It was before high school, I think.

My fitness plan:
1.) Don't budget money properly
2.) Hate the bus
3.) Live a 40 minute walk from work

Frackville has a rather sophisticated Original Italian Pizza in the center of town, which went through heavy renovations and has food that actually doesn't taste like crap.
As part of the renovations, the allegedly Mafia-backed owner put up a big rotating sign. The problem? He put it up on property he didn't own. Also, he was providing parking, again, on a lot he didn't own.
The person who DID own that property put up a lottery/cigarette store (just what the town needed), and put up big ugly signs made of spraypainted plywood that say "NO OIP PARKING". He also put up a wonderful blue tarp over the fancy-dancy rotating sign. There must be no way to turn of the motor that keeps the sign rotating, because it is still turning.

So now the biggest landmark in Frackville is a big rotating blue tarp. How fitting.

on the bright side, mafia guy's likely to take out tarp-overlayer-guy, so it's likely a short-term thing
