So today is a beautiful San Diego day, and as I predicted the rains have left us with a lush landscape of greenery. The likes of which we've not seen in these parts for nearly five years.

So here's a little secret.

I stepped on a scale the other day. I couldn't believe it. Well, I could. But I weighed in at a hefty 305lbs.

Somehow or another, even with my finances in the toilet these last couple of months and while living on Ramen and Rice, I've managed to gain 20lbs. and put myself above the 300 mark.

I don't feel that heavy. Not really. My knees do though, and so do my heels. But I don't feel like I'm lumbering about all the time. But still I guess I need to really start doing something about my weight. Being over 300 can't be good for me.

Man, when did I become a fat slob?
