Just a week shy of a milestone, not one based on weightloss, just based on hangin’ around on the planet. Weigh-in this week is 373.6.  I’m down over 31 lbs. since Christmas! Still have a way to go, but this journey has begun and I’m VERY happy to be on it.

This week’s weigh-in: 376.2.  Only down .6 lbs, but that’s all heading in the right direction.

Thanks for listening!

Wow… it’s been a while.

I hope that I can keep up with it this time and I hope that my recent successes can inspire me to keep losing and to keep recording!

Quick show notes because I’m rushing to get out the door to Archon.

Guess who’s back!

Yeah, after a 10 month TLI recording hiatus, I’ve returned to my best most successful tool for losing weight.

I mentioned in this episode that I was interviewed elsewhere talking about TLI and my journey.

That interview can be found here.

With 52 weeks to go I need to lose 148.2 lbs.

See you in a week.

So I’m approaching my 39th birthday and I have this looming goal that I’ve set for my 40th. I’ve been delaying “starting” TLI until I got back on track, until I had something positive to report. Honestly, in terms of weightloss, there isn’t too much positive to report from me at the moment.

I am going to get back on track, going to start working out, eating better again. I haven’t really done that yet, but I am trying to get myself back into the mindset of doing it.

One of the things I’m going to attempt, starting today, is Bob Harper’s (Yeah, Bob from the Biggest Loser) daily challenges that he’s posting on Twitter.

Today’s challenge from http://twitter.com/mytrainerbob is 100 push ups, 100 sit ups, 100 lunges and 5 minutes of meditation. Also to drink a lot of water (which I’ve actually been really good about lately.)

So I’ll report back tomorrow. I’ll let you know how I did on this challenge, what I weigh in at when I weigh myself tonight (Not looking forward to that).

I’m here, I’m back…

Tee Morris has been a part of this podcast from the beginning. When Tony #2 and first sat down in front of his computer with one of those free stick microphones that you used to get with computers (Do they still give those away with new PCs?), we had a copy of Podcasting For Dummies sitting right there next to us. Tee co-wrote Podcasting for Dummies. I’ve since been able to get Tee to sign that copy.

Tee offered words of support and encouragement when I mentioned starting TLI, having his own experiences with the journey of weightloss.

Tee has come on the Back Seat Producers a few times each time is more epic than the time before. From the insanely long ‘interview’ we did with Tee and Pip to promote Double Trouble to Tee’s astounding work on Episode 100 to help us blast through reviewing 100 movies in 100 minutes. Just Tuesday I got a tweet from Tee offering himself up for an episode on Avatar. He had apparently seen it the night before and was itching to talk about it.

Tee has even shown up on this podcast, the only episode that I can think of that I’ve done here that has had anyone else’s voice but mine. We talked about his journey and gave me dieting tips.

Wednesday brought shocking news. Natalie Morris, the woman Tee married and mother to their daughter, Sonic Boom, died suddenly. It was completely unexpected.

I’ve known Tee for a couple of years now. We’ve shared amazing scotch, he gave me dieting tips for Tony’s Losing It and talked to me on a number of occasions during the stressful period that I was going through when Julie was in the Hospital for a month leading up to the birth of Erin.

You might know Tee as a podcaster, author, actor or showman. I add to that list friend. Tee is a great guy. Very giving and as genuinely nice a person as I’ve ever known.

Friends, fans… I’m making a request. Show Tee that he is appreciated, not only as a podcaster, author, movie reviewer… but as a parent. Because that’s a gig that he’s got to do solo now. As you can imagine there are immediate bills that need attended to and the community has already come together and, from what I gather, taken care of the immediate needs. Anything more that will be donated to Tee and Sonic Boom will go into a trust fund for SB.

Please give.

Thanks, Tony

Happy Holidays. Enjoy time with your friends and family, but enjoy everything else in moderation.
