Progress Log: Week 13
Weekly Weigh-In 244.5 lbs. Yes, you betcha I’m counting that half pound. After the previous week, I’m literally flabbergasted that I lost anything. The swelling in my gut, especially my lower gut, is decreasing. My upper belly is still a bit distended and taut. This is due to the visceral fat stored there. The testosteroneContinue reading “Progress Log: Week 13”
Progress Log: Week 12
Weekly Weigh-In 245 lbs. Given the week that I’ve had, this is actually kind of amazing. It’s been a week best summed up by Bill the Cat.

nightfall
shadows stretch, longingly, eastward, to flee a malevolent, setting sun, impossible though, pinioned to the ground as they are, by our feet, planted firmly to the concrete. we speak of meaningless things, while daytime spins to twilight, carries us, piggyback, into a pyrotechnic sunset and star shower afterimages. i’m sinking my voice rumbles, a steamContinue reading “nightfall”

Not gonna lie, I’m eager to dig into my smallerContinue reading “Progress Log: Week 11”
A Taste of Antiquum
I know the place is right when Michael Kiwanuka’s “Love and Hate” comes on in the background. Sitting here in the Antiquum Farm cottage, I look through the French doors that open onto the attractive stone patio at the front of the building and see my fiancé there with two of her favorite ladies. I’mContinue reading “A Taste of Antiquum”
bite
perhaps the skyline sparked my mind more than anything. jagged teeth, brightly pockmarked, with tiny, innumerable cavities, ripped into the night with no mercy. forget the twisted iron veins of Newark railways and the canal arteries clogged by tugboats turning profits, churning tiny whitecaps from their blunted prows. those brilliant parasitic lights will forever biteContinue reading “bite”
Progress Log: Week 10
Weekly Weigh-In 247 lbs. I haven’t dropped, which can be disheartening, so did a side-by-side below that shows me that I actually am making progress. I realized this week that I’ve been kind of dumb about my weigh-in day. I’ve been weighing in on the first day of each weekly cycle. This is kind ofContinue reading “Progress Log: Week 10”
