Goal reached

Yes it's 156 rounded up, fuck you Justin
Goal weight reached! Hit 155 for the first time this morning - all thanks to a steady diet of alcohol and starvation! But really, here's the skinny:
Starting weight: 174lbs on 6/24/11
Goal weight: 155lbs on 9/18/11
Time: 86 days (12.3 weeks)
Pounds lost: 19lb
Average lost: 1.55lbs/week
Low-carb diet with a focus on ketosis. No exercise (leg was injured). I cut carbs down to about 20-30grams a day and the weight just started melting off. My second time doing a ketosis diet. Back in college I found myself ballooned up to 155 (!) and went on Atkins to get back to 140, closer to my scrawny freshman weight:

~135lbs - late 2000, freshman year at UCD
Then after college I wanted to bulk up with the intention of cutting later... except lifting and eating got too fun and I kept going and going, next thing I knew I was 180lbs. I think I'll keep going to land somewhere between 150 and 155 and continue to lift weights and do keto to lower BF %.
Tonight my dad, bro's mom-in-law and I went to the Snocasino buffet. Gorged myself on delicious foods and even some carbs. I considered it my reward.

Girls

And now for something completely different from my prev music post... Girls
Indie band from San Francisco. Sounds dreamy/shoegazy but also vibrant at times. Their new album is awesome: Father, Son, Holy Ghost
note to self: they are in Seattle on Oct 5th
Chingo Bling

My new favorite H-town rapper. Chingo Bling is like the Weird Al of Mexican Rap. Doesn't take himself seriously - good beats and clever rhymes. First found this funny Nick Swardson skit, then saw that he did a remix, which I ripped here:

What an entrepreneur. He sells mixtapes and tamales out of his trunk. Seems to come out with a new mixtape every couple of months
House, new pics

I listed a couple rooms on airbnb - still unsure if I'll agree to rent out a room though. I doubt anyone would apply anyway since it's so far outside Seattle. Perk: listing it comes with a free photography session. My intention with listing it is to show that I'm trust-worthy when I use airbnb myself for traveling. I think the photographer felt there was too much glare coming through so he took HDR photos. Not a fan of the excessive tone-mapping (especially seen on the pic of the chaises).
Great room, another angle (gross tone mapping)

Ride to Redmond
Rode from Sammamish boat launch park to Redmond Town Center to meet up with Justin and his roadie buddies. I got a flat tire just as I arrived to RTC but thankfully REI was close by. Checked out the Redmond Saturday Market. Rewarded ourselves with Fatburger (no bun). Part of my unpaved trail was closed so I had to ride on road for a bit - kind of makes me want a road bike now. But then I remembered why I don't do long(er) rides: my butt hurts.
