		<title>Awesome Sauce Selection Special</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Seeing that the 100 Pounds to Fitness has moved to its own blog, I wanted to use this blog to do some other things.  What better to start off with than a Fantasy Football special...in July!? Al Michaels: Good afternoon everyone, and welcome to the selection special for the new Awesome Sauce Fantasy Football League.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>299.8</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What's the significance of that number, you ask?  It means three things: I have lost 79 pounds since last April, 59 of those in the last six months. My goal weight of 250 is now less than 50 pounds away. For the first time since I was 13 years old (except for maybe a day [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tracing my roots</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Happy Monday everyone.  I'm actually going to write about something other than my quest for fitness.  I'm still hanging tough at 305, by the way.  I'm hoping a full week of workouts will get me going again.  Now that that's out of the way... My extended family consists of two very-different sides: there's the Smith [...]]]></description>

		<title>So close</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The week has gone well so far.  Aside from one workout that was cut short by the fitness center's A/C not working, it's been a productive week. I'm down to 304 now.  I probably haven't been that since I was 17.  I'm soooooo close to being under 300 for the first time in an eternity [...]]]></description>

		<title>Getting there</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sorry I've been MIA the last several weeks.  It's been a whirlwind, that's for sure. I just got back to South Carolina last week after a nice, 10-day vacation in Washington.  It was nice to relax and see people.  I even took a chance to rest my bad foot, which feels great now. Of course, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Healthy?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I went to the doctor for a physical today.  I figured this would be the best time to gauge where I was at in my progress.  I learned many things today: 1. My weight is at 312, so I'm up about three pounds from last week.  Guys' weekend in Clemson is a pretty good source [...]]]></description>

		<title>Delicious, yet low (no)-calorie</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the challenges during my weight loss adventure has been balancing: I've realized watching what I eat is the biggest part, but there's so many things I've been hesitant to give up.  You come to appreciate food when you eat so much of it for so long. Part of it has been made easier [...]]]></description>

		<title>Changes all over</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sorry it's been a minute...I've been a busy body the last week or two. I flew out to Washington last weekend somewhat-unexpectedly for a few days. I didn't watch my eating like I probably should have (especially at the Atlanta airport on the way back...I had a craving for Cinnabon for the fist time in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fun Food Fridays</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In an effort to write more (and to force myself to get creative with my diet), I'm going to try a new feature: Fun Food Fridays. The concept is simple: I'm going to create a new dish every Friday that's homemade, delicious, and low in fat. Tonight was a pretty delectable dish: salmon and vegetables. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Making progress</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So this week's experiment seems to be going well. I'm doing two workouts a day (35 minutes of vigorous biking each time), and one meal replacement (lunch). At this point, I've lost six pounds. Of course, there's always the chance of fluctuation later in the week, not to mention the chance of it going back [...]]]></description>
