What the Doofus is a "jeck" FYI - http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=doofus Easy Peasy

Wait -wut? Nobody told Ol' Sarge that The Doofus goes away. He's even more of a Doofus now, right. Easy Peasy

What you did there ... Sarge sees it. Easy Peasy

You've got it all wrong. Sarge is an AssHat, not an assclown ... mmm-kay? Easy Peasy

Monday? What's wrong with today. Right now? Easy Peasy

One day, you will get it. Remember this post on that day. You will think to yourself(among other things): "Holy crap, I was so full of sh/t, wasn't I?" That day ... Remember The Sarge told you so. You're welcome. Easy Peasy

All Sarge hears is excuses. Do you want to quit ... or keep coming up with bullsh!t reasons why you won't? Easy Peasy

Uhhh ... Getting tossed out of The Other Place? Easy Peasy

Enduring discomfort is *The KEY* to everything. EVERYTHING. The more you can Embrace The Suck and drive on ... the better off you are in almost everything in life, right? Job. Diet. Exercise. Quitting. Relationships. School. Family... Almost anything you can think of, the more discomfort you can cope with, the better off and that much farther you'll be ahead of everyone else. Learn to Embrace The Suck. Endure the discomfort. It puts you waaaaay ahead of everyone else. In everything. Easy Peasy

How'd that ^^^ happen? Got through the filter.

**** **** **** **** **** everything about god damned cigarettes, right? Easy ******* Peasy

Wut?

It's not "kept" from anyone. Willfull ignorance and denial in support of our self-imposed sphere of stupidity, right? Easy Peasy

You forgot the "h"

2.5 hours for Sarge.

Blueberries want acidic soil. Get that pH down to 5.0 - 5.5 any way you can. Coffee grounds, pine needles, sulfur, peat. There's a fertilizer for hydrangeas (acid lovers too), hell Sarge has even mixed vinegar in the watering to acidify the soil. Don't do it too fast but a little bit over several years. It generally takes us about 5 years from planting a 2 or 3 year-old store-bought plant for any decent production, and 6 or 8 years if we grow our own from seed ... but then after that it's 40 to 50 years of production. They live a Loooooong time. Mulch the hell out of 'em. Deep and wide. They have a shallow root system that won't go very deep seeking water, so protect the shallow surface water with mulch. You'll also need bird protection in a few years or you'll get nothing for your efforts and the birds' bellies will be full of all your hard work.

Quitting smoking once scared you, too, right? Easy Peasy

Marathon.

What is this "comfort" of which you speak? The Sarge does not understand. Easy Peasy

Oink! Sarge is getting Olde. Stepping down most races this year to The Half Marathon (13.1 miles) Top 4% overall (497th out of 11,526). Not bad for an Olde Pharte GreyBeard, right? 1:41:36(7:46/mile) - a new record on that verrrry hilly course for The Sarge. Mrs. Sarge did even better at a top 2% (actually 1.6%) for her age group (female, age 40-44) - she's in medal contention next year's field as she breaks into a new age group and will be the young pup. Easy Peasy

Bread is not the enemy. Salads and veggies are not a Magic Silver Bullet. Fruit will not cure what ails the "whale". If you want to be successful, keep eating what you've been eating your whole life (you're gonna, anyway, no matter what you think at the moment. ) You only need change one thing. Only one. Change how much you eat. Reduce to a *reasonable*, **sustainable** Calorie Deficit and The Magic you seek appears as summoned. Easy Peasy (On a downward then for 4 years now, currently down 54 pounds from the high)

If you feel the need for "validation" ... you're doin' it wrong. Easy Peasy

We signed up for USAF (United States Air Force) Marathon today, our annual favorite. Sadly,with a heavy and reluctant heart, Sarge has dropped to The Half (13.1) this year while Mrs. Sarge signed on for the Full Monte (26.2). Can't quite make the training commitment for a full again this year. Think this is our 4th time on this course ... and the first time we wont be starting together on the same race. We usually ran the first 13 together, and then split off onto our own separate paces at the halfway mark for the backside 13. Should be both a course PR and an overall PR at that distance for Sarge. Goal of anything 1:32:00 -ish. Easy Peasy

Running. Is. Amazing. Easy Peasy

Did someone say "sausage" ? Easy Peasy
