Well I did it. And I weigh 172lbs today, down from 190lbs about 8 weeks ago. Thanks Adam.

I wanted to just write quick follow up post about Adam Gilbert and who I introduced to you on April 25th. I started his MyBodyTutor program around that time and followed it to a T.

All too often, usually right before we hit the “pay now” button, we find ourselves ransacking search engines hoping to find a coupon code saving us a few bones on that Threadless T, order of biz cards, domain name, or Text Link Ad.

“Some people” doesn’t include Larry Page. Let me tell ya, if I had a helicopter, you’d be hard pressed to find it at a nerdcamp helipad :)

Side note
Whether you loved or loathed the Sopranos series finale (yes I’m still talking about it), there’s no denying that the lyrics from Journey’s Don’t Stop Believing were perfect for the close of that show.

Working hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Paying anything to roll the dice
Just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on
