Be happy you’re alive. The alternative to not having birthdays is much, much worse!

I think this year is worse, trying not to be a sour puss. I will be a grandfather in 2 months so that makes me even more grumpy.[/quote]
I’ve tried for more than a decade to stop celebrating my birthday. It’s not that I hate being reminded I’m getting older; it’s just that, past the age of 21, it just seems irrelevant. Other people just keep on remembering it, though. I guess they must love me or something - the bastards.

Yes you understand my conflict. I love my family and they are all very supportive, and I really dont feel like I am getting older. Hell I am stronger and more healthy than ever, maybe I just dont like the attention. At work I lead (manager for a Texas division) in my family I enjoy sitting back and going with the flow.

A grandfather at 37? Oh my. I had a two- and four-year old when I was that age.[/quote]
I joke and tell people it is because that is what you get when you mix a Hillbilly and a Mexican. I was a 17 year old father, who spent the next 14 years working 2 jobs and going to school full time to get my Masters. I am just very sad for my daughter. My mom was a 17 year old mother with me and she has her Masters. Like the Hank Williams Jr. song “Family Tradition”.
I will say at the lower weight gets a little easier with the blast straps. Going to max out on Squat tomorrow and next week deload.
Since next week will be the last full week of this diet going to push prowler and do farmers walks every day. That should be fun.
Forgot to weigh first thing this morning, I know not a big deal just trying to keep track. Weight 222 after working out this morning and having a shake and Surge. Starting to really lose the appetite, still have NOT had my one healthy meal for the week. Yesterday was my 11 year anv to the wife, and we are supposed to go out tonight to eat. 10 more days.
^ This forum is for the serious stuff, to me its accountability to lifting. There is no way I would post pictures of myself on this site. So all the other stuff is just fun. Also there are a lot of strong fuckers in this forum.

He’s referring to me, primarily. You should visit more often, Print.[/quote]
Yes I am a coward. Also married to a jealous Mexican woman. Who besides my girls are the only pictures I have on this site. Weight now at 220.
When I was younger I was apt to have a wandering eye. I no longer even want to get accused of that. She knows about this site and that I have been on here a long time even before I made an account. Just playing it safe and cowardly.
Plus I am an old stubborn fucker.
