the second phase

.. for letting myself get as fat as I am now. 208 pounds people. 208!! I’ve never been over 200 a day in my life and now I’m 208 pounds! This is what relationship comfort will do to you.

So I started up the running again. And the diet. And we’re going to add another thing into the mix - P90X. It’s an extreme workout that a few of my friends have just started. There is no way this temple of a body is going to be over 200 pounds. So beginning today, I will weigh myself every morning and update the blog with my new weight. I’m actually starting the P90X program next Monday, but in the mean time, I’ve setup a Goals page that I was able to link my Nike+ information in. My real goal is to reach the 100 mile milestone! I’ll update the weight on that page as well.

Wish me luck!

I am now officially PADI certified for scuba diving. Completed my four open water dives this weekend. Two of them at Broad Beach at Zuma and the other two at LuLu’s Cove in Catalina. Now to go buy all my scuba equipment..

So we did it, with our last game tonight being an easy victory, we ended up with our first winning season.  We have a few changes coming to the roster, some which help and some which won’t.  We’ll see how it goes.

A short update in the life o’ Steve. Things are still going very well with Marielle. She’s awesome and we’re having a good time. She’s been really good to me and I’m trying to be good back. We tied our last soccer game 5 to 5 in a thrilling game. We actually scored the tieing goal in the last 7 seconds, even though at times we were winning in the game and probably should have come through with the win, but I’m glad we got out with the tie.

Me and Bond have been doing development on a new Wordpress theme and I’ve been spending alot of time learning Wordpress and some of it’s quirks, which I’ll be detailing in a few articles once the theme is up.

Anyhow, I just wanted to post a short update on my life. Hopefully I’ll have some real content coming up soon.

No, that’s not the hours I work ( that’s more like 10 to 3.. ).  It’s the score of our SECOND WIN.  That’s right, my small fellowship of readers, we have won another soccer game.  Yes, those are pigs flying outside your window right now.  After being behind 0 to 3, we came back and crushed them.  Next step, playoffs!

In other news, my landlady is a total bitch.  I’ll update about that later but I just wanted to post and say how awesome my parents are and how thankful I am for them to volunteer to take the dogs for awhile, letting me get situated before I can take the dogs back.

Alright, time for me to be off to bed.

So in a turn of events, I now live in an alternate world where we actually win our soccer games.  After 3 losing seasons, we recruited a few more players and went out there to see what we could do.  Well, suffice it to say we were winning 11 to 3.

By half time.

Anyhow, it seems like we’ll actually be some good competition for other teams, rather than just a blow out game that we suffered in most cases.  I didn’t like the fact that we had so many guys and they didn’t, but damn, it feels good to win.

That’s right, boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen. The DI soccer team has recorded it’s first win! Rejoice, oh ye minions of mine. We are no longer winless. Our reign is upon the world and they shall tremble at the sound of our rather retarded footsteps.

Ok, so a little time has passed, but it’s been really busy in that short period.

First off, just to clear up the confusion with my family. Saleigh is Marielle Saleigh. ( Think ‘Mary-EL’, ‘Suh-lay’ ). She’s a beautiful, talented woman that I’m dating. You can find some pics of her in the new album that I’m going to link in a second.
