I stepped on the scales yesterday and they read 160. The upper end of a “normal” weight range for a 5’8″ male? 164. This is the first time since my Sleep Out Louie’s/Flying Saucer heyday (2005ish) that I have NOT been overweight. I’m pretty damn excited. The PBR diet works y’all!
That’s it for now. Update schedule might still be a bit slow this week but we will see.
