Nice! Congrats dude!

I really need to get back on the weight loss train. Running three times a week and dieting isn't working for me.

I recently quit the soda-pop!
I used to drink like a can or two a day at work, a bottle of root beer at lunch, and a 1 liter bottle of coke over the period of the afternoon.
Almost every weekday.
And god knows how much I drank over the weekends...
IT WAS CRAZY!!!
And now it has come to an end... As of 2 1/2 weeks ago...

Why is the album being released in UK and Europe before your native land?

Eh, just one of the consequences of having two different record labels. Ideally they'd just be a day apart like a lot of bands do, but it worked out differently this time...It'll still be better than the situation with our last album where the CD came out in the UK a full 11 months after the US release. Plus, then we can tour around the release in both places and not have to be in two places at once...

Thats my birthday!

Yeah, quitting soda has become part of my diet too. At first it was pretty hard, but now I don't really miss it and just drink a ton of water. The only beverages that I drink anymore that have calories are lightly sweetened iced teas (Honest Tea, Inko's Tea), smoothies, soy milk, lightly sweetened coffee, and booze.

The one part I miss is reviewing sodas as a hobby. When you don't drink 'em, you can't review 'em.

I've started drinking soy milk. It's pretty good, but I think it's going to be more of an acquired taste. I got chocolate too, and I think vanilla might have been a better choice.

I don't drink much pop, just an occasional Diet Dr. Pepper (regular pop is so insanely bad for you.) But I do drink a ton of coffee, which I've been trying to cut back on and drink more water. I'm down to about 1.5 cups a day.

I didn't bother to read the whole thread until now, so...

I've noticed I've cut down on soda. I haven't given it up completely, but I just don't drink it as often these days. Now I think my guilty pleasure is Vitamin Water.

[KillerGremlin]

I gave up soda completely for like a year and a half. Then, I broke down and slowly started drinking it again. And, I started drinking beer in college which is a technicality I suppose....so now I go for moderation.

One soda every once in a while won't kill you. Drinking 12 mountain dews at a LAN will....those were the days.

I still drink energy drinks like Red Bull and Rockstar. That's like soda combined with coffee, only worse.

So...you pick your battles. I avoid Coke and Pepsi like the plague. I can't stand that crap....it's way too acidic. I'll do a Mr. Pib or Dr. Pepper if I'm really feeling up for something with a nice acid kick, otherwise I go with rootbeer or 7up.

Fair enough. If it's available on Amazon again I'll be sure to order it.

[Angrist]

Yeah and Germany lost from Spain, didn't you hear??

[Jonbo298]

Ah yes, I forgot to mention the fact I'm down over 40lbs from my all time high. Still at least another 20 lbs with a longer term goal of an additional 20 after I hit my main goal.

Jeez GameKing, welcome back?

[BreakABone]

Welcome back, Gameking. Maybe.

Also I got to see The Dark Knight early as most everyone who has my AIM/MSN/Facebook knows.

I get to see Spinto Band tonight and see Teuthida.

And I got a three day mid-week weekend from work.

[Teuthida]

Going to San Diego next week for Comic Con.

Going to see The Spinto Band tonight and kidnap BreakABone.

Cool, a mini GameTavern meet? Post pics later!

Also: in 13 hours I'll meet that girl again. I suddenly realized what I love most about her: her eyes. Those amazing, beatiful, shiny eyes! If they're half as sparkling as last weekend, my day will be great.
