Cape Cod 2007 Pics

Taken during a biking excursion through the dunes...

Taken at the Truro Vineyards with AJ

AJ and I at the beach...as you can see, he likes being as high up as possible.

Another fun pic at the beach...this was taken right outside the beachfront place where we were staying...nice view, no?

Pictures, pictures, pictures

Been a while since I've posted some, no?


These pictures were taken on 8/26/07 when my mother and grandmother (Nana) visited. My fantasy football draft was today and I am wearing my Jets retro jersey (Go Al Toon!) and AJ is wearing his Yankees bib. A sports themed picture for sure.




Here I am playing with AJ. My hair is ruffled because he likes to pull on it.


And finally a pic of my Nana with AJ. A nice picture to be able to show him of his great grandmother someday. It's amazing to get a pic like this...

Some "after" photos

I know I haven't posted some progress photos in a while....to be honest...there hasn't been a whole lot of progress since my last (only 5-7 lbs)...So I thought I would spice it up by doing some of those cheesy "wear your old clothes to show how many inches have come off" shots:

To be honest, these size 38's are probably the loosest 38's I own. So you get the greatest effect. But I think it still looks cool. I switched back to wearing size 36's and those fit comfortably to slightly loose now. I would guess I could probably fit into a size 35 waist if I wanted...

One last bonus pic for everyone out there in blogland. A year ago, I was in Phoenix and decided to pick myself up an authentic black cowboy hat. With my chubbier face and lack of facial hair, I don't think I did the hat proud. Fast forward to today:

Don't think I'll ever be a true cowboy, but I think I look a lot better in the hat these days at least.

BTW...I hate my camera...I need a new one...those are some blurry pics above!

Another poll...

This one is a little more personal in nature. Here is a picture of me with a goattee. I haven't attempted to grow facial hair in over 10 years. During my trip to see my brother in Phoenix, I decided to try it again. Here's a pic:

So now, the obvious question is, "What do you think?". Vote now!

A progress photo...

This was taken after AJ's baptism on 6/24/07. I am roughly 200 lbs here.

Progress Photos - 25 lbs lighter

By popular demand (for the one person who requested in comments):

It's funny...you probably don't see too much change due to the clothing covering most of the noticable changes...On the flip side, most people say that I really don't look overweight when I was up in the 230's...

Enjoy!

It's been a while...

Forgive the lack of posting...I'll be putting a lot up shortly...I'll give you 2 words why I've been so negligent on the the site stuff:

Andrew James


He's a 9 lb 3 oz, 22 inch baby boy that officially makes me a Dad and unofficially throws my schedule into instant disarray.

I hope you decide to keep reading the blog. I'll have plenty to say on my diet (weighing in tomorrow) and on being a new father...

Jeff

Update: Since people have complimented me on how I look in this photo, I guess we'll call it a progress photo for now.

What do I look like?

For future...here is a pic of me taken in the middle of February. Not sure if the pic makes me look overweight or anything, but I thought it would be interesting to see what future pics eventually compare to.

For kicks I should scan and upload a pic from the last time I weighed in at my goal weight (when I was 21!). And for some real fun, I should scan a pic from when I was 18 and <140 lbs!!! Oh the days of a quick metabolism...
