So Lunchb0x came to visit me last week. I love that he takes the time to do so, it shows true friendship and that he puts friends and family above all else.

His visit did a few things, and let me go over the least important thing first. I did not go to work or the gym most of the time he was here, we went to the coast, played a lot of WoW and went Kayaking. We also ate like once or twice a day. Now the week before lunchie was here I was sick and did not go to the gym, but I ate accordingly still, meaning 3-4 times a day. I was losing inches off my waist, it was real progress and showed that even though my weight was going up, my waist was shrinking. The one week lunchie was here I gained 2 inches to my waist. 2 inches people!!!!! I went to the gym today and told the story about how I was sick and didnt make it to the gym because of this and his visit, she said “I bet you didn’t gain a pound because you work out so hard normaly” and then I dropped the bomb on her that I gained 2 inches in my waist and she looked shocked and asked how I was eating. I explained that I really didn’t eat and when I did it was large meals. She laughed and said lesson learned then, you need to graze, feed it to get rid of it. I find this highly amusing that after all these years of working out it comes to the fact I just don’t ever eat enough.

Now the more important subject, Lunchies visit reminds me what I left back in Utah, all my close friends who I miss dearly. it use to be I was upset that I left an awesome career, but that seems fairly silly. Leaving my friends behind was the worst of it by far. Now some of them have left Utah on their own as well, so it seems it is the natural order for us to leave, but none the less I miss everyone, and even though he was here for a week I miss him already, it was nice having one of the guys around and I dearly miss the man nights.

But we did go kayaking and lunchie almost died, he fell in and got Hypothermia, stubborn bastard dried off for a few and went right back out, I was worried and called it off after about an hour, but it was still an adventure neither of us will forget anytime soon. I hope one day to lure him to move out here, maybe when the economy is better.

So for the record, I miss you all, those who moved to the east coast and those still in Utah, and I praise the internet gods daily that it is so easy to keep in touch with so many miles between us.
