I didn’t lose any weight this week, but I didn’t gain either. Not bad for a week that featured New Year’s Eve AND my 40th birthday. I have some added incentive and motivation now, however. I’ve teamed up with another blogger in a bit of a weight loss competition. He’s going to announce on his blog tomorrow, so I’ll let him go first – then I’ll give more details next week and we’ll do some cross linking. I’m sure you’ll all cheer me on to victory!
Time to get down to our Friday business. The new year is off to a roaring start with some fabulous posts from my fellow bloggers. Click ’em, read ’em, and show ’em some love!

Thanks so much for mentioning Laurie’s post Travis, I really appreciate it! Not bad at all on the weight with both NYE and your 40th. Hope you have a great weekend sir!
I’m planning a recovery weekend from my vacation…LOL. It was a whirlwind two week vacation around the holidays and I need a BREAK – with some great workouts. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by, John!
I have to say, I enjoyed following your birthday updates on Facebook! Definitely looks like you had a great 40th.
Great birthday, indeed, DC. A personal breathalyzer tester is so much fun! 🙂
Thanks homie! And happy birthday! Just had mine as well.
So cool to see your balance going up instead of down. Nice work!
It IS nice to see my cash balance going up (just like my age, lol)! Thanks for the b-day wishes!
