A Hunka Hunka Burnin' Calories

 A hunka hunka burnin' calories... that's what I wish I could claim over the past couple of weeks. Unfortunately, I had to help host a group of out-of-towners to my fair city, and that included plenty of food, drink and... yes... a trip to Graceland.

 Graceland, the home of Elvis Presley, attracts 700,000 visitors a year, and it seems like each of them want me to take them there. What's up with that?

 But Elvis and I do have at least one thing in common: we each have a photo of ourselves in an elaborate frame hanging in our crib.

 And I do have to admit that he has a more decked-out man cave than I do.

 I'm still having bad dreams about this room! 

 But the main take-away I got from my trip to visit the King is that even the fanciest clothes don't make you look good if you're grossly overweight. 

It ain't nothin' but a pound, dawg.

THE WEEKLY PHYSIQUELY

 

Last week: 241.8 lbs.

Loss: -.6

(No congrats on a loss, please... I had gotten down into the 230's before a week of off-track festivities;
but heading back in right direction now)

A Little Less Social Media

A little less social media, a little more action please.
All this time on Facebook’s gettin’ the better of me. 

A little mo’ runnin’ and a little less tweets,

Less Linkedin and a lot less eats.
Close your keyboard, get some exercise and get less chunky.



Jacky, fire up your ipod and listen to some music
Run like sick gazelle.
Got a beer gut and it’s time to lose it,
Come along with me and we’ll tame that scale.


A little less social media, a little more action please.

Pinning on Pinterest ain’t pinning no losses on me.

A little more diet and a little less fuss,

A little more fight and less Google Plus+.

Close your laptop, open up your gym bag and get less chunky.

Get less chunky, baby.



Come on baby, I’m tired of tweeting.

The time we got sure is fleeting.

Come on, come on.

Come on, come on.

Come on, come on.

Don’t procrastinate, let’s activate.

Hey, it’s getting late, gettin upset when I gain a pound

.

A little less social media, a little more action please.

All this sedentary lifestyle sure is fattenin’ me.

A little more on trail and a little more help
.
A little less email and a little less Yelp.

Close your browser, open up your life and baby, get less chunky. 

Get less chunky, baby.

In Honor of Death Week...

Eatin' My Veggies

I'm sorry, Elvis

Roly poly momma gonna get my scale,
Gonna get my scale goin’ down.
Got a whole lot of blubber that's ready to burn,
Don’t like that number goin’ higher.
There's a thousand good reasons for getting more light,
And I’m gonna make it all start happenin’, all right.
I think I’m gonna get it all started tonight.
Oh, eatin’ those veggies, eatin’ those veggies.

How I wish that I’d started way on back,
Started eating more better in my youth.
‘Cause if I had, I’d be way better off,
Be healthier now, that’s the truth.

Oh, there's black beans and parsnips and collard greens,
Brocolli and asparagus and fava beans.
Eat ‘em all and you just might fit in them jeans.
Eatin’ those veggies, eatin’ those veggies

Eatin’ those veggies with a glass of wine,
Brings out the flavor and makes ‘em taste fine.
Eatin’ my veggies every night and every day.
Cookin’ those rascals every which way.
You can even load up
When you’re at the buffet.

I'm gonna keep dishin’ ‘em out
That’s what healthy eatin’s about
Serve em up hot for me and my chill’n.
We’re all eating real well
Whether it’s boilin’ or roastin’, sauteein’ or grillin’
I'm gonna keep eatin’ ‘em, I gotta tell ya’ll.
Oh Jack, he’ll even eat the damn things raw
Just wash ‘em in the sink, then stick ‘em in my jaw
Eatin’ my veggies, eatin’ my veggies,
Eatin’, eatin’ my veggies.
