    I can see Tony’s face. Who’s the fit and trim guy on the left? I recognize the head but the body – it’s so lean…

  3. Steven says:

    Yeah – who’s the lean dude on the left that just lost 8.5 pounds in 29 days?

    Shedding 14 pounds in 5 weeks was truly a team effort! Though there are too many people to properly acknowledge, I would like to briefly recognize and thank the Northern California Distributors of Metamucil, who kept their shelves full so I could run on empty; the medical staff of Alta Bates, who squeezed me in for an 11th hour elective appendectomy and tonsillectomy (good for a combined 9 ounces of lost weight); and the bouncer at Gioia Pizzeria who gently persuaded me that it is difficult to hold a slice with eight broken fingers and two severed thumbs.

    Steve, of course, was inspirational in his Zen-Mussolini sort of way, and Maya the same, but in her Mussolini-Stalin sort of way (“drop ten and you’ll be less butt-ugly”). Finally, my beloved spouse, colleagues, and Ice Chamber Comrades should be awarded purple hearts for surviving several weeks of my hunger-induced (then raw-veggie-induced) crankiness — the unbearable burdens of my quest for lightness of being.

    As Maya is quick to remind, much work remains to be done, as torso transplants have yet to be perfected (though I am on the lookout for potential donors.) Accordingly, we should all brace ourselves (and purchase Metamucil stock) as I re-dedicate myself to living a life of a little less excess, a little more exercise, and a lot fewer excuses.

    Starting the day AFTER tomorrow.

    I can’t stop laughing Dan. 14 pounds? Man, I told you that you were looking way too hot last week. I have to send a special thank you to the bouncer at Gioia as well because he snitches you guys out every time! He mentioned something about “twice in one day,” but it must have been Tsan!
