Where have you been?

I seriously can't believe it's been one month without a post (actually over a month).  To recap my life for the past month:

1.  went to a friend's lake house for a weekend
2.  went deer hunting
3.  hosted friends and tailgated for the Clemson vs. UGA game
4.  attended the SC State game - no where near the grandeur event of UGA
5.  threw a close friend a baby shower
6.  went on a fishing trip to Orange Beach, AL

Why go through the trouble of listing all of these events?  Because they are absolute killers for a diet.  With that being said, I've had a few "work is killing me I just want this" moments, but overall I'm down 6 pounds.  Not much to speak of, but considering the amount of crappy food and beer I've consumed, I think it's a big plus.  I do need to make a more concerted effort on the running front, as I've only gone maybe 6 times.  Terrible I know, but luckily I've taken up walking 9/18 holes each time I play golf, which has helped significantly.

On the golf front, things are going well.  I've been fortunate to have a great place to practice and play, along with a good friend who knows much more about the golf swing than I do.  I've worked really hard over the past month to stop my hip sway and rotate around my back leg, and then fire to/through/around my front leg.  I've also slowed down my overall golf swing and have achieved much better results.  Golf scores since August 11?  81, 86 (after the UGA game, I was far from in shape), 75, 77, and 81.  My index is down to a 5.6 which equates to a 6/7 handicap depending on the tees I'm playing.

Quick post with no picture support, but I thought I should give an update before people give up on me.  I'll be posting much more now that life is starting to normalize a bit.  Shout out to my 2 followers - hopefully I can drum up some more people to push me over the coming months.

Eck, out.
