I was just finishing up the lawn as Shanna arrived home. She had a package for me from Gabe and Ashley. THANKS GUYS! They got me a book by Wolfgang Puck. AND they got Wolfgang to sign it and personalize it to me!!! I didn't have time to look at it yet. One, because my hands were still dirty from mowing. And two, I am in the middle of a 24 hour juice fast. Shanna and I are trying to shrink our stomachs down and "reset" our systems so all I am having is juice and a lot of water. I think if I looked at the book I might actually eat some of the pages. This is totally the coolest present I got this year and I got an IPod! (Sorry Mom and Dad) Last year Gabe and Ashley got me a signed Alton Brown book. I was so happy(and dorky) I took a picture of myself holding the book and emailed it to Gabe. Well, different book same story(and same dork). You can see page Iron Chef Puck made out to me too!
I also wanted to update my weight progress. I had managed to only gain about 3 pounds since I fell in the creek. Any doctor will tell you that is not bad for an injury that takes you off your feet for one month and limits your activity level for the next two. I decided I would try and maintain my weight by watching what I ate until I went back to work. Then back to work and back to working out. Shanna and I have been walking almost everyday. Even though I haven't been able to hit the gym in two weeks I have been able to walk. I am down four pounds in three weeks. This is on par with my goal of 50 pounds over one year. I am aiming for a pound a week. So far so good. Thanks for your prayers, advice, and thanks again for the book. Keep em coming.

Awesome Photo! I'm glad that you like the book so much. Maybe someday you'll have signed books from all of the American iron chefs. (Alton Brown was even the host so you're off to a good start!). I'm glad to hear the update of your weight progress. It sounds like you're doing well. Keep up the great writing. Thanks.

Nice work Garrett! I'm glad to hear you're doing well on your weight loss plan. And thanks for picking up my jacket at the gym.
That's a cool present. I'm thinking about getting an iPod mini. I joined a gym down here, it's soo sweet. There's an outdoor and indoor pool, hottub, and everything else. I'll probablly blog about it tonight or tomorrow.
