The Rivaldo weight-loss transformation, Faith, Hope and Love Thread

Day off, but got up early to attend a meeting at the shop and saw all my buddies, then got home and saw my fluffy!

Didn’t keep with my diet beyond the 1st approximate 48 hours, but went grocery shopping today and got good, healthy stuff. Only done one half hour session on the treadmill, too. Gonna run here in a bit.

Some guy does Alice in chains covers in the style of type o negative. Reminder to check that out later.

Working today. Did 4 miles in 44:59 last night. I feel like one hundred dollars. On the scale this morning. 210. Dieted well yesterday, hardly had anything. So it’s a 3 day split on successful dieting since I set my goal, and somehow I’ve lost a couple pounds. Vamoooo

All I’ve had to eat today is half an apple. Then just now I split a can of sardines with Fluff. I feel like one hundred manic dollars!

did a job today for this nice family down in the city. was there last night and coordinated a return today over the phone with an uncle. had to repipe the kitchen sink drain and the laundry standpipe. the pipe traveled along 2 separate walls, had massive ‘reverse fall’ and leaked water that snuck out over a good area of the floor. removed 1 cabinet door to have access in one spot,
had to get down in the crawlspace at 1 point. got it all run properly and tested it. 550$ the gal there at the house was great and appreciative. when I was loading my gear out, she took a look at it without me, I explained to her what I’d done. lol she was sleeping for the time i was there - about 3 hours.

ordered pizza, but the wait is like 70 minutes, because everyone in KC is celebrating. so i grabbed a blueberry muffin out of the container. it smelled great. kitty got up from his nap because he heard me. i held it down for him to smell, he liked it then headbutted it

I made like my namesake on a job Wednesday out in small town Mizzou. Was done with the job and had noticed one of the kids was kicking a soccer ball in the hallway earlier. I said, “where’s that soccer ball? I grew up playing. mom, I’m gonna break a lamp in the living room.” then demonstrated my juggling skills for the fam. the Mom said, “he’s still got it.” in my overalls and Merrells, made about 8 or 9ine totally-under-control touches with my feet and knees kik

In the habit of notifying the customer any time I use my torch in the house, incase there’s a smoke detector in proximity. This time I forgot and was down in the basement installing a PRV @JohnnyTruant lol listening to geto boys in my earbuds, when the song had a siren-like sound in it, and I yelled upstairs, “I’m not burning down the house!”

but no actual alarm had sounded
