Off Topic: Instant Win Games

To contact us Click HERE
I added a new instant win game. It's called Fiesta Inolvidable. They are giving away 4,500 Nescafe Clasico Mug Set (set of 4). I couldn't register in Google Chrome, had to use Internet Explorer. You can enter daily but you won't know you have won until the end of the sweepstakes. How about you? Have you won anything recently? You can't win if you don't play! 

I just created a page of all the sweepstakes/instant win games I play each day. If you would like to try your luck at these you can find the page here or at the top of my blog on the "Instant Win Games" tab.

NOTE: This list is not all of the instant win games out there. It is just a list of the ones I am currently playing. I don't win much but I still enjoy playing them for a chance to win something big.

I'm regular (42 regular, to be precise!)

To contact us Click HERE
I went to the Nordstrom anniversary sale and bought myself a Hugo Boss suit. No, I didn't buy a blazer and "matching" slacks or a pair of separates. I bought a 42 REGULAR suit (with typical 36" waist). And it fits! Yes, I had to get the sleeves shortened and I got the seat let out a bit to make it more comfortable to sit in, but it fit! I'm normal.

206.4 pounds (down 97.2)

I'm a medium!

To contact us Click HERE
No, I can't tell your fortune!

But I can easily fit into medium-sized shirts from the Ralph Lauren outlet. Some of them are even a little baggy. That may not mean much to you, but for a guy who six months ago found XXL shirts tight in some cases, it's a big deal to me.

The funny thing is that I feel like I'm getting "punked" in clothing stores. Before, in the rare instances when I went shopping, I would have trouble finding what I wanted in XXL -- all they'd ever have were medium or large-sized clothes on sale. Now, when I go shopping, I can't find a medium, but there are LOTS of XXLs. DOH!

196.2 lbs

"Yo-yo" dieting shouldn't be an excuse anymore...

To contact us Click HERE
I'd heard for a long time that "yo-yo" dieting would leave you heavier and less fit than before and I myself have used it as an excuse for not trying to lose weight. Well, it looks like scientific evidence now says that's a myth.

http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2018926404_yoyodieting16m.html

And my personal experience would tend to support that. I was talking to my wife and recounting my diet history, only to realize that I've had multiple big diets.

Age 17 - Lost about 40 pounds before going off to college.
Age 21 - Lost about 40 pounds before going off to grad school.
Age 31 - Lost about 40 pounds before moving to California.
Age 36 - Lost about 50 pounds to lower blood pressure.
Now (Age 49/50) - Lost 109+ pounds (so far) to improve health and longevity

Losing weight this time hasn't been any harder than the previous times. In fact, while not easy, mentally it might be easiest as I have the strongest motivation to do so. And I've lost weight about the same way as always, so it hasn't been significantly more difficult now that I'm older.

It's never too late to start...  :)

Weight: 194.0

I'm done (sort of)! :)

To contact us Click HERE
Went to the doctor today for a follow-up on my June visit and for the first time in forever was told that I don't have to lose weight. All my numbers are fantastic at 189, and she said that I will be just peachy if I stay between 185 and 189.

I think I'll try to lose a little more, maybe down to 175-180 before figuring out how to maintain at a constant weight. Thankfully, given my method, maintenance shouldn't be too complicated -- just a matter of giving myself a few more calories each day. I'm already eating everything, so there's no change in what I'm eating, just a little increase in quantity.

Overall, it's pretty cool. I didn't lose half my weight, but I did lose 37.75% of my body weight in only 206 days. Yes, and that's with going out to eat with friends and travel and my 50th birthday, and a few beers. Sorry to boast -- that's not something I do much, but it's kind of exciting to have accomplished something this ambitious in this short a time.

I'll have a follow up post this weekend listing the 10 most important things I learned from this experience.  I'll also add some before/after pics for some visual motivation.

Free Music Download From Free All Music For Facebook Fans

To contact us Click HERE

The featured music has not changed but you can now search for the music that you love instead!  I did this and decided to download the song "Sea of Faces" by Kutless. 

I debated about keeping this post because of how you have to get the song (read below for why).  However, I share a lot of Christian music so to be fair to people that don't care for Christian music I decided to keep this post.  

I will be adding another free music site to share with you every Tuesday! This one is from Free All Music on Facebook. Just "like" them and it'll also make you "like" Budweiser in order to get the song.  They have songs in the genre's are: Country, Pop, Rock, Hip-Hop, Latin, and Alternative.  By the way, they have a search feature so if those genre's don't interest you go to the top to find the one that does.

Please note: You have to "like" Budweiser* in order to get the free music.  You must be 21+ to redeem and not live in CA or TX.  

*I do not drink alcohol nor do I promote it.  I"m just telling you about this change.  By the way, I"m not happy about this change but it is free music and it's different than Christian music which isn't that bad since there are some nice music out there that is not Christian.

Most people have more than 20 different household accounts, including three to four credit cards, several travel and hotel rewards accounts, multiple magazine and newspaper subscriptions, plus cable, phone, and other assorted utility bills. In order to stay on top of all this, people have to manage daily incoming paper mail, an array of online usernames and passwords, and websites in order to access important account information and take action. Manilla seamlessly retrieves all your account information – current balances, previous payments, upcoming bills due – and stores it for you in one secure place. Most importantly, you need only one password to view, manage and organize it all.
