Of course, that was 20 pounds ago, or is it 40 pounds ago? I weighted about 65kg at the time, and that&#8217;s 143lbs. The start of last year I weighed 185lbs and I&#8217;m 19 years older now, so I probably don&#8217;t have much chance to fit into that suit.

Even more stuff for Goodwill unless I opt for some serious surgical intervention or stop eating altogether. The Mexican restaurants in Hillsboro aren&#8217;t going to allow me to even consider fasting as a viable life choice.<\/p>\n<p>THMFIC at the gym was out for a couple of days because of pinkeye. There were seriously odd theories about how pinkeye is spread, most likely due to the rigorous scientific research put forth by the movie <b>Knocked Up<\/b>. I doubt anyone was rubbing his face on a dog&#8217;s behind, so the main theory is probably unlikely to be true. In any case, it&#8217;s nice to have him back but unfortunately the brains behind the gym is now sick with the same ailment. I wonder if I should just start wearing goggles to the gym. I could probably find some suitably dorky ones like the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/biblicone\/261204568\/\">BCGs<\/a> issued by the military. If they&#8217;re strong enough I may be able to see through beams so I can actually read the workout without walking to the whiteboard all the time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have an Italianish suit that I bought when I was in Japan.
