From one dad to all the other dads and grand-dads, Happy Father's Day!

I'm spending today with my wonderfull family. My kids are taking me to see "Toy Story 3". See how Father's day works? But seriously, I have been blessed with 2 awesome kids and take pride when they call me daddy.

Today also makes me think of a favorite quote. "Any male can make a child, but it takes a real man to be a dad."

finished eating....*gasp*.....fruit!

I remember when you $%^& kids would get the $%^& off my lawn!

Gonna love my picture on FB. It's of my son win Mr. Potatohead parts on his face

Been a member of that page since I started playing CoX. Keep up the good work Armeros!

Woohoo This thread for exchanging Globas iz now Stickied!

Or is it Stickified? Or Sticklish?

Go Guardian!

Kinrad, almost exactly the same beginning and ending goals for me. Thank you for that shot of encouragement I really needed today after 3 days of almost unmovable arms.

And huge congrats on the loss, I know it's not easy.

Monday's workout still hurts like @##$$%^& on Wednesday.

Thanks for all that posted Globals here!

If you are new to Guardian or just want a little change, have everyone you know post in this thread. Maybe we can lure some of those players back to Guardian!

Woo hoo 100th Post!

Oh I sooooo love that video!

Week One update: Been tough but keeping to an under 2000 calorie a day diet, most days were near 1600. Spreading out 4 to 5 meals a day.

Exercising 3 times a week, cardio (treadmill) each of those and 3 more days. One day off.

Weight is now 252, down 8 lbs in the first week!

Super sore but still pushing it.

Started my stop smoking meds yesterday, quit day is Monday the 21st.

More energy, just so dang sore :P and I DO have muscle under all this!

*takes bacon back until real birthday*

Nooo ...there is some missing!

*hears Jets burp in the distance*

Happee Burfdai!

*Sends bacon as gift*

Me needs uh beelyun Jawas!

Starting my own "Bigest Loser" weight loss program today. Turning 40 this year and being extremely out of shape proved to be my mental turning point in physical fitness.

The stats, as bad as they are: Weight 260lbs. Waist is 48 inches, but that is at the waistline, above the waistline its really 54. Chest is 52 inches.

Borderline diabetic. Borderline hypertension. Pack a day smoker. Arthritis in both hands, spine and knees. Left knee has severe problems. 5 bulging discs in spinal column. Digestive tract problems that are too numerous to even type here.

So out of shape that it has been difficult to do much of anything anymore. Not one bit of physical activity outside of work. Haven't been in a gym since the age of 16.

Goals: Stop smoking. Lose 30lbs by Christmas. 60lbs by this time next year. Get muscle tone and more on critial areas(mainly spinal) to relieve back pain. Remove 12 inches from the waistline.
Training goal: I want to be able to run a 5k race next June (There is a large local 5k in my hometown every year in June for charity)
Size goal: I want to wear large shirts, not 4xl shirts.
Ultimate goal:I want to see my kids ages now almost 16 and 4 grow up to have a healtier life and lifestyle. Eating healthy and working out regularly so they don't end up like I have.

Step one was achieved today: Joined a local gym which has locations right beside my house and my work. Not only joined myself, but my wife and almost 16 year old daughter signed up as well. (Sadly my wife is in worse physical shape than I am) Hopefully between myself and my daughter we can get her to really commit to a regular exercise routine. And with the club having child care there isn't any excuse not to take the 4 year old.

This week's workouts and plan include: 10 minute warm ups on either treadmill or eliptical. 1-2 rounds on a 24 machine circuit training targeting specific muscles and muscle groups doing reps of 15 on comfortable weight amounts. Then a 30 minute cardio workout on either a treadmill or recumbent bike. Cutting food intake to 2000 calories a day(was closer to 4000 a day before today) Caffeine is already gone, only small amounts daily. Cutting smoking in half.

More info weekly. Decided to only weigh myself once a week, so updates may be on Tuesdays.

My words of advice for today: No one can change you. Only you can change yourself. Take that stand and change yourself.

No where in there was the most powerful power of all time....bacon.

~RIP~ Ronnie.....

Personal fav was "Holy Diver"

With all these badging events you are setting up recently, gotta give you the "You da man" award for the month BB.

btw, to spawn Caleb, isnt it very specific to nerva spectral demons, but not all qualify blah blah blah. need that one.

Only need Deathsurge on one toon for Accolade.

All but one need Scrapyard.

The rest is gravy.

Monday evening, before raids on tues and sat, and some weekday daytime and some weekday evenings is current availability for me.

Welcome to Guardian, we have the bestest cookies and bacon ever!

I reccomend Guardian chat and Level 50 chats also.

There is a thread here on guardian listed as Guardian Global Exchange, I and a few others have picked up several regular Guardian players that way.

And again welcome to Guardian, feel free to add both of my Globals.

thanks again BB for organizing the event, got the badges and accolades on one toon, can do more on other toons blue and red if anyone else needs them.

Have to work Saturday afternoon, but will be on in the evening before the Rikti raid.

I will be in Pocket D around 10pm EDT if anyone wants to jump on and see if we can get enough people to run more swiss draw.

Happy Birthday!

Swipes bacon off the cake and runs away nom nom nom nom...
