About Me

Hey. I'm Walt and I have no idea what the hell I'm doing here.

My Interests

Comics Comics Comics. I love comics. I've been a rabid comics fan since I was 10 years old. Can't get enough of them. Look at my little blog area and you'll see I'm just as rabid today as I ever was.
Music is next. I can't live without it. See below for a small sampling of what I'm listening to currently.
Toys. I have an entire room in my house devoted to my comics and toys. I have toys lining the walls. I have them over the door frames. I have them over the window frames. They're everywhere.
Television. I watch way too much trash tv. Daytime soaps, nighttime soaps, reality shows. The trashier the show, the better.
My babies. My boy cat and my girl cat. Ollie and Lucille 2. Ollie was the name he came with when we found him at the shelter. Lucille 2 had her name changed, though. She was originally named Cuddles, but that didn't fit. Instead, she was named after Liza Minnelli's character from Arrested Development.

(And Ollie's name was almost going to be Francine Fishpaw, who, as fate would have it, had a best friend named Cuddles. Hmmmmmm...)

195

I'm at 195 again!  Boo ya!  I don't know if I will ever get to 190 at the rate I'm going.  ..But 195 is l..ess than I weighed in junior high, so I need to run with it.

197

I mean to post here weekly, but it's more like monthly lately.  Sorry.This Sunday I was up slightly to 197 pounds.  I'm a little bummed because I want to reach my ultimate goal and I want to...

Three weeks running

My Sunday weigh in was 199 again.  I was up .5 lbs this week, but still in the 199 range.  I expected worse news than that.  Go Walt!  I pigged out on homemade Mac n’ Cheese ...

Update

I’ve been bad about posting my weight levels here lately.  This week I weighed in at 199, a pound heavier than last week, but still under 200.  This is my second week below 200 and I&r...

Holding Steady

 I weighed in at 203 again today.  I was hoping for 202, but I'm perfectly happy with 203.  Also went out and bought a new digital scale today.  This way there will be no guessing ...

Up

I knew I'd weigh in higher this week than last.  I lost 5 pounds last week, which was too much.  This week, I gained 2, putting me at 204.  I'm so close to my goal.  I'm getting an...

Almost there

So, yesterday I got quite the shock.  I weighed in at 202.  That means I've lost 98 pounds of the 100 my doctor told me to do.  I didn't expect to lose this week.  I thought I migh...

Update

I always mean to post weekly weight updates here, but I usually end up forgetting.  I weighed in this morning and I'm officially 210 lbs.  I've been around 215 for the last month or so and i...

Oops

So much for keeping up with this blog on a weekly basis.  But it's okay, because it makes my weight loss look more dramatic.  Last time I posted, about two months ago, I was at 228.  To...

228

Sunday's weigh in was 228.  Which isn't fair because this morning I was 225.  But I had a party to go to this weekend and I ate some things I shouldn't.  I'll deal with it.
