Well today I’m moving out of my townhouse. So if you knew where I lived, after today don’t stop by because I won’t be here anymore I’ll be buying a house soon and will be living at the parents place until then. I will be renting my townhouse out if anyone is interested, contact me.
Also, I lost my old phone, and replaced with with a Blackberry. So please send me or call me with your phone numbers so I can get in touch with everyone again. I can also receive email on it, so feel free to email me too!

Thats all. I’ll post again once I’m moved into the parents place.

I’ve updated my Photo Gallery! Check out the new photos in the ‘Ryan’ and ‘Viper’ sections.

As you may have noticed, its been a while since I’ve posted anything. I’ve been lazy, actually nothing has really happened to post about. I’m still losing weight! Though progress has slowed down a little, I guess that is to be expected. Still trying to move out of my townhouse so I can put it up for rent and buy a new place. Hopefully one of these weekends I will get everything fixed so I can finally move!

Well I need to get back to work. I’ll post another update when something worthy of posting happens.

I tried to go to Macaroni Grill bar tonight with some friends and have a peaceful night, however none of my friends showed up. So I decided I’d get a single drink and kill some time before coming home and crashing for the evening. Instead an woman in her late 30′s sat down next to me, and started to ‘hit it off’ with this married guy sitting 2 seats down. Well as they start talking she reveals how this week was the 3 year anniversary of her sons death. There went my nice enjoyable evening. All I heard all night is about her son, and of course you can’t help but feel bad for her. Oh well, what can you do?

However, on a positive note, my bar tender learned an alternative way to make a Royal Flush, its excellent. For all those interested:

Crown Royal

Jose Cuervo

Peach Snaps

a touch of Cranberry Juice

This weekend I kind of blew my whole diet. Actually it was Saturday that I was horrible. I ate pizza and McDonalds. Now before you ask yourself ‘omg wtf holy hell !!111!!1!one1!!1′, I had too much to drink and was out with some good friends. Most of us have done that one stupid thing when they were drunk, which seemed like a perfectly good idea until the next morning. This was one of those things for me. I made up for it today, however. I ran/walked a total of 10 miles, and consumed a whopping 0 calories. My weight is back to were it was Friday night.

I’ll be more careful in the future, but no serious harm was done thanksfully

Below are the steps to making Mozilla Thunderbird (or any mail client of your choosing) the default mail client for Firefox in Linux.

1. enter about:config in the address field
2. filter for mailto
3. make sure that “network.protocol-handler.external.mailto” is set to true (double-click to change).
4. Add a new preference:

• right-click on the window
• choose New, String
• prefence name is network.protocol-handler.app.mailto
• value is /path/to/thunderbird (if using another mail client other than thunderbird, enter the path to it here instead)

Today I reached a new milestone! I now weigh a weight which I have not carried in over 4 years (when I started packing on the pounds). I know I said I would not reveal what my initial weight was until I accomplished my goal, however I will give you some insight. Tuesday evening when I weighed myself I scaled in at a hefty 205lbs. This morning when I woke up I scaled in at 200lbs even! Thats not the best part though. After seeing how close I was to breaking the 200lb mark, I went running 2 miles. When I came back I weighed 199lbs. Granted I probably just lost 1lb of water weight, but regardless, I am now under 200lbs, something I haven’t been in almost 4 years. If you have been following my progress you will probably get a good idea of what I weighed before I decided it was time to get back in shape.

Now with all that said, I still have a ways to go before accomplishing my goal of 5% body fat, however I figure if I keep up the pace I’m at, by mid-September I should accomplish it.

Actually it will be a lack of a haircut. I decided I’m going to grow a mop-top. Thats right, its exactly what the Beatles rocked back in the 60′s. Photos to come in just a few months.

I thought I’d share with my fans what exactly Ryan of AskRyan.com keeps in his refridgerator. Well here it is:

Yesterday, after announcing I had lost 2lbs in one day, I decided to order a pizza. That was not one of my better ideas. I gained 4 lbs today.

I’m starting to wonder if my scale is broken or something.
