Bowling – Practice makes perfect

177-135*-210

*- was trying different things (different balls/lane position/etc) to see what reaction I would get. Obviously not a good idea.

Bowling – Week 28

Bowling – Week 27 Position Round

169-180-217

Avg – 177

So here we are in the position round and a week from the playoffs and team Dirty Whore Strikes is in 11th place. Playoffs consists of the top 8 teams. Doesnt look like we are gonna make it this year. To make matters worse we bowled the same team we did last week and one of them bowled a

First game I did ok. I say nearly every week that these lanes SUCK but add in the humidity with that and its worse. Granted i missed my mark a few times but there were balls where I was right on and still left the damn 10 pin.

Second game went a little better… Towards the end anyway. Got my average. Thats an improvement over the last several weeks.

Third game was much better. I was so frustrated tonite. My friend Gary said I need to practice standing further right when the oil is heavier on the lanes. And better yet I finished with a better series than that Dawg lovin Kandi Terrell.

Bowling – Week 26

167-176-197

Avg – 177
Lanes 1-2

Team dropped down to 11th place bowling the 13th place team. To have any shot at bowling in the playoffs we basically have to take all 7 points. Naturally, we collapsed and only took 2 points. Basically no playoffs for us this season.

First game… eh. Lane #2 sucked and it was lightyears different to Lane #1.

Second game I got closer to my average but missed by one pin. However, i did pick up the 2-10 split in the 10th frame.

Third game was sorta back in form. Got my average. Cant hate that after two shitty games before that.

Bowling – Week 25

I. Hate. These. Lanes.

Now that I have that outta the way…

144-171-158 (473)

Avg – 178

Team entered a critical week in 8th place and needing to hold on to it for dear life to make the playoffs. Handicap wise, the opposing team only had 9 pins.

First game sucked. No matter what I did that damn ball wouldnt move at all.

Second game, I basically bowled like a granny I slowed my ball down so much. Still didnt get my average.

Third game … Bleh. I admit I pretty much gave up. I literally went up rolled the ball and turned around.

Bowling – LAMBDA

191-221-204

Avg – not yet established on this league

Subbing for my friend Hal today.

Whew the lanes were dry!!!!!!!!!!!! I had to not only move left 5 boards.. I had to move my mark 4 boards left too and play the center part of the lanes. However, these lane conditions were great to practice for tournaments.

40 by 40 – Day 0

140 days ago i started a little project called “40 by 40″. The goal was to lose 40 pounds by my 40th birthday.

140 days ago I weighed in at 265.

Since then, I have had to buy a new belt. Even with the new belt most of my pants still barely stay on. My “slut jeans” (as my sister likes to call them) are not near as tight today as they were nearly a day ago and you can also see my collection of belt buckles I have started when I wear them.

Since then, I am not nearly as tired as I remember being. Granted, that didnt change that I am not a morning person still. My bowling has gotten better and I have worked my way to being able to walk about 5 miles fairly easy (and in about an hours time).

Since then people have noticed the change.

Since 140 days ago I have dropped 31 pounds to weigh 234 as of this morning.

Not a complete success since I didnt make my goal, but I am not exactly considering this an epic failure either.

Now to lose 11 pounds by 6:00 am 5/23/11.

Bowling – Week 24

195-192-167 (554)

Avg – 178

Team is coming into the week in 11th place bowling the 23rd place team who didnt show up. So as long as we bowl our averages we take all 7 points. We ended up taking … all 7!

First game I bowled decent. Had a few flubs but… Nearly 20 pins over.. Cant hate on that.

Second game was pretty good. Rough start but I picked my game up and nearly had 20 pins over my average again.

Third game… Sucked.

40 by 40 – 24 hours to go

From about 24 hours from the time this is posted, I will be weighing in for the final time for my 40 by 40 project.

To recap, I started this diet weighing 265 pounds. The last time I weighed in, I was down to 242 pounds a total of 23 pounds lost. That was with about 30 days left on my diet. For the mathematically challenged, that means I had to lose half a pound everyday to lose the remaining 17 pounds. Up to this point, I was losing less than one quarter of that a day the first 130 days of my project.

I think it is safe to say… I will not be down 40 pounds total come Saturday morning. How many pounds total will I be down when I go to weigh in?

Guess Ill find out in 24 hours.
