This Trucker Fights Back

Hi again.

Just some thinking out loud here. Things change in life. I'm still struggling to find something to write about on my diary and I have no understanding for it - in fact, I don't even question it.

My energy has been in other places and the passion has been diverted to my next twist and turn of life - even though I can't clearly write about that either. Actually I'm fine, clear-headed and content with the way things are going in all phases of my life. I've always been a 'challenge' kind of guy and the next level just doesn't include WLF so much, at least in my mind.

It does fuel my heart a bit that a few of you still egg me on and it really is a compliment - I thank you :) I just feel I'm riding out the void this place has left inside of me. It is a big hole because I loved this place - and the people in it (largely). A displacement shouldn't be the residual effect but since this a typing of words kinda place and I can't find my way past the writer's block, I'm just gonna shuffle about until I can find good things to discuss again,

'Til that time,

Peace and may your behavior strengthen daily :)
 
We just want to check on you. That's what mothers do. And friends. When we know you're ok, we are quiet for a while. A little while. A fraction of a second. Then we ask again. Sorry.
Good to hear that things are moving. :D

meep meep - this diary ought be bumped by my reckoning.
It serves to give new people inspiration and courage. There are mostly females here and we need guys like you :)
 
Since you are going through lifes changes and all....

Perhaps you could post a good joke now and then. I like a good laugh.

This joke is rather old, sure you've heard it... but I'll try it anyway..

There is only one letter in the Pirates alphabet. What is it?

"RRRRRR""
 
I just wanted to say "Hi". I hope your exercise is being good to you, that you have a lovely weekend and that your summer is staying bright! :)
 
Holy, look at your weight! 209 pounds down from 371, not like I hadn't noticed before but it struck me today. That's huge. Congratulations. Take care while you're away.

Please let us know when you get to your goal, you're so close.

Other than that, good luck with everything. Even though I haven't been here very long, you have helped to inspire me at times when I needed it. I just wanted to say thank you for that.

Very kind words ma'am and I thank you. I do hope to make it into Onederland by summer's end. I'm seriously re-thinking the 190 though, if I could hover between 198 and 205 I'd be quite content. At this point I'm just fighting the 'wrinklies' and stuff and it's going to take awhile to win that battle. I'm very pleased with my shape and size presently even though I have room for much improvement. Perhaps the fine tuning phase will be just as fun as the weight loss was.

Good luck, Trucker....keep us updated once in a while. Besides, you still owe me a Primanti's, remember? ;-) I'll let you know when I'm close to goal. Enjoy your summer!

With your commitment, there's no doubt your goal will be met - and yes, we're doing the Primanti's thing. Count on it !!

Mornin' T2!!! How's the job thing going??? Sure looks like you are getting very close to your weight goal, YAY!! How's your daughter doing??

I'm carefully sorting out the process, this has been more challenging than I first thought. A 3 year gap/absence is no easy sell to even a driver-short market. The insurance companies are making me jump through hoops. The industry has changed its requirements and criteria considerably in the last 3 years. The sad thing is this may flush me towards a less reputable employer, this of course, if I'm willing to compromise my standards.

My daughter is enrolling in Penn State University for the fall semester and I couldn't be prouder. We have done countless applications and the exhaustive process seems to have paid off in securing her financial aid. I hope she keeps the passion alive within. I will do whatever I can to see her through these next few difficult years.

Hey T2, you really are close--less than 20 to go! :)

Yessiree, and on that note, that number has changed and the goal weight may change as well. I've long suspected that 190 was a bit low but in my mind I rationalized that the number was probably the 'safe' number where my 'wrinklies' would be gone - this probably isn't the case.

I think even at 180 or even 170 two things would happen - I'd look like a dead man walking and I'd probably have lower ab wrinkles anyway so why fight it ?? no need to go to extremes in this case.

This will be a life-long event to remain in my 'comfort zone' (which I'm presently in) so let's just try the 'Onederland' thing and see what happens.

Well this is certainly good news for you Tina, now just keep walking towards the light.

I'm not trying to get you back for the forum peer pressure jokes or anything... but I love to read your posts. :)

Well one thing I've learned in the past few weeks is the 'every other day' thing isn't nearly often enough to satisfy my eyes of looking at your beautiful avatar :)

The jokes are fine, the pressure - well, I know how to take care of that :p
 
Congratulations of your daughter getting into Penn State!! I'm sure she'll be passionate about it :)

Glad you're doing well. Just wanted to let you know I came in first place for women in my first trail run, 10K + 800 feet elevation gain in the SC Mountains, 48:58, 7th overall out of 140 people. It was very fun! A total blast!

Hope you're not feeling the heat waves I've been hearing about over on the East--nuthin but fog over here....
~HUG~ because I know you like them!
 
Bully on you Val and I'm not the least bit surprised you pwned your race not to mention how much fun you had in the process :) You have the flare to bring enjoyment to most everything you do from what I've read. I took it that that's just the world a hottie creates but it probably goes a bit further with you, mainly that great attitude you bring to the game :)

Aaah, the heat, well it's helped me in some ways and of course it's a pain in the ass too but by gawd I can sure deal with a LOT better with will all this mad weight loss, yanno ?!?!

Thanks for being you *hugs back*

P.S. If my daughter matures at the rate I think she can, she'll do just fine. Her social misgivings can make or break her in this new atmosphere - there will be some collective dad-like breath holding along the way.
