I’m Officially Getting Fat

Jason — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 00:33:06 +0000

So I step on the scale tonight and am shocked when I see 189lbs. I know that I’ve been performing poorly on the workouts lately, becoming very lazy. In the past few weeks however, I’ve become a glutton with my eating and stuffing myself at every opportunity.

Overall I’m very disappointed in myself. At one point since moving to DC I had been getting quite overweight, tipping the scales at 198 which is the most I’ve ever weighed. This past summer I went down to 176 at the low point and for the most part was hovering about 180-184.

This is unacceptable and it’s going to change. Steph is also unhappy with how married life has been impacting our waistlines so we’re going to team up and do it together. I’ll be tracking my progress with a website called skinnyr. This site provides the graph which you can see to the right so that you can follow along and hopefully provide some encouragement! The goal for now is 172, which I know is possible. Can’t wait to feel my pants loose around my waist again….

Of course I’m playing!

Let’s see, this will be the 4th year in a row. Two of the previous 3 I’ve gone pretty deep and close to the prizes. Watch out world!

Now THAT’S How You Hit Somebody

I just have to say that this is a vicious hit, and yes, it was a little unnecessary. However, it certainly sends a message, don’t you think?

New Car

Jason — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 00:21:52 +0000

Just thought that I would take the time to post some pictures of our recently purchased car. Stephanie has been drooling over the BMW 3-series convertible since they released it in a hard-top for the 2007 model year. We’d already decided to get rid of my Tiburon sooner rather than later and the Saab will be paid off this winter but still has almost 3 years left on the extended warranty, so no time like the present! And so I present to you ‘Nina’, which is the name which Stephanie has christened this Silver 2007 BMW 328 convertible that is now residing in our parking garage.

Officially Hitched

So last weekend we officially got hitched! It was a beautiful setting with just perfect weather. Stephanie and I will be sending out information soon to everybody about the party/reception that we’ll be having next month. For now, head over to Flickr to check out the pictures!

I’m not going into a ton of detail, you’ll just have to check it out yourself. But hurry, the videos will only stream for free until this Sunday night! You gotta LOVE Neil Patrick Harris!

First 2008 Golf Round

Jason — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 16:05:19 +0000

Well it’s been awhile since I’ve actually posted anything here so I figured that it was about time. This morning I was finally able to go and get a round of golf in for the first time this year. I played in a scramble tournament less than two weeks ago but when you’re playing best ball you get to just try and nail every shot and you don’t get a true reading of how well you played. Today I played a round at the 9 hole executive course at Hilltop Golf Club in Alexandria. It’s a nice little par 3 and par 4 course set up in a semi-links style.

Overall I’m pleased with my round. It’s always different playing on a course vs. on a range or in a simulator and it showed. I was VERY inconsistent and did not hit my driver well at all on the 4 holes I brought it out. I still have an inside-out swing with that club so it starts right and then slices even further out. That’s really my biggest leak and I should start teeing off with a 3 or 5 wood instead until I fix it.

Anyway, I’m about a 30 handicapper so scoring 50 on the 9 holes I played was actually not bad. My goal for this summer is to start scoring consistently in the low 90’s. I think my short game is getting pretty darn good and I only 3-putted twice today so that is coming along as well. Here’s a link to my scorecard from today, courtesy of the Scorecard software for Mac OSX, made by Cynical Peak Software. I highly recommend it.

Who wants to meet up in AC?

Jason — Sun, 11 May 2008 01:26:26 +0000

So I’ve got a room reserved at the Trop in AC on Friday May 30th. Any semi-local bloggers that are going to be around that weekend or want to meet up? I’m bringing a buddy of mine along that never has been to a casino before and I’m not looking to necessarily play much poker this trip. Just want to go out and have some fun. So let me know!
