AKZINDENZ GROTESK BE is actually a font. No shit.

WEDNESDAY---

I woke up and would have given my left nut not to head into work. But I did, I arrived 5 minutes late thanks to road construction. I had a pretty fun shift.

I also turned in my 2 1/2 weeks notice. After talking it over with the wife and readjusting my funding for printing for 2007, I decided that its time to mosey on down the trail and leave McDonalds in the past for good. Everyone, surprisingly, seems bummed out slightly. But believe me, they are better off without my moody ass there!

So, On Sept 30th, I will officially be McFree. On the 20th, I start growing back my goatee!!!

I head to the newspaper and suffer through 11 hours of adbuilding. I also shoot emails to folks and download some podcasts from comicgeekspeak. Man, I am pumped to finish Pleasant Life #1-2 this weekend. Off the printers Pleasant Life #1 will go!

I'm VERY hungry and want to get some bad food, but I stay strong and get grilled chicken meat sliced in 1/2 instead.

I get home at 4:30am and pass out.

THURSDAY---

I get up and head to McDonalds and have a VERY fun shift. I work with all the cool people at the restaurant and we joke around and have a great time. I even get to go home an hour early! All in all, a perfect shift for me. Its days like this one that I will miss. But gotta focus and move on.

I head to the newspaper and start work. In between I write down ideas for our IDIOTHEAD show.

I also do my first official weigh in since starting the weight loss challenge.... 302!!!! I've lost 6 pounds! (actually 13, if you count me starting at 315... which is where I was a month ago! I'd swear I was even up to 320 at one point too!)

I am extatically happy. I cannot believe that I have already dropped SIX pounds! I've only got 19 to go and I win the challenge!!! But to me its not about the win. Its about the actual lifestyle change. But man, I cannot believe it! Who would of thought that If I actually TRIED to lose weight and stay strong on my diet that I would succeed?

I'm so pumped. Two more pounds and I am below the 300 mark! Very happy.
