Notify Hell — they can start bidding on the winter olympics

At last night’s family Christmas party, the relatives whom I haven’t seen since the summer noticed, and the scale has confirmed it — since joining the gym this spring and going on the Atkins “carbs-be-gone” food plan just over a month ago, I’ve dropped twenty pounds. I wasn’t really aware of it until people started pointing it out recently.

Check out these photos — the goofy grin is still there, but it’s a little less Laughing Buddha and a little more Jackie Chan.

Soon I’ll be kicking these guys’ asses.
