Short Term Memory

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Ward County Notary Services 607851

Timmothy writes his comic strips (every day) a month in advance BUT I lived this one yesterday. Some time yesterday evening I turned into a human shark. I have been dieting for a week or two and doing very well with it so it even surprised me that I wanted to eat everything in the kitchen. (Are you old enough to remember Taz?)

I'm sure I kept my shark attack to less then 500 calories but I've been really good about not having any snacks at night so it felt like I ate a Thanksgiving dinner at the time.

This may seem like a poor example of short term memory loss but here is what I forgot: #1) I'm dieting. #2) Spring is coming March 20th on the calendar (in two months in reality in ND) . #3) I want to be thought of as "Six Pack Bob" this summer.

Maybe that is indeed a poor example but I wanted to get it off my chest... and my belly.

Do you enjoy the cartoons written by my son (Timmothy N. Timm) which I use as a springboard to write my daily posts? His strip, Titus & Philemon, has run in two newspapers for years as well as being printed in my blog every day. Titus & Philemon (pronounced Phi - Lee -Man) are guinea pigs. Their owner is Joe. Timmothy has never repeated a joke/comic strip in the 12 years he has been writing it. He has never copied another strip, such as Peanuts or Garfield. You can follow Timmothy on FB as Titus & Philemon and you can also check him out on Instagram as Instagram.com/titus and philemon/ .

Michael Jacobs to make that dream come true I need to start exercising more than my daily walks but I need to do it in a way so as not to aggravate my back... it's always a catch 22.

Hi Bob,
My first thought after reading Timmothy's cartoon was leading me down a political path, but I won't go there.

I'm glad to hear you are doing well with the diet, but cravings do rear their ugly head sometimes. When I want to lose weight, I try to do 3 things:
1) Eat only when I am actually hungry.
2) Get some exercise each day.
3) Remember that my stomach is only as big as my fist. I don't need more food than a portion the size of my fist. That is a game-changer right there.

You'll be "Six Pack Bob" before you know it.

Ahh, I'm thinking you didn't actually forget but you just had to splurge! That's fine! You have motivation - just keep envisioning that six-pack!

It's been a hard week Kat Palmiotti with Carol cooking at her best for our company this week and she has also been baking as well. At this point I am hoping I don't gain but at least maintain. Next week it will be full speed ahead dieting again.

Good morning Bob. As one who has never had a six-pack many times in my quest to lose weight, I lack your will and determination and regularly fall off the wagon. Good luck in your quest. Enjoy your day.

It is a struggle for me every year Wayne Martin but I usually hit a number that works for me. There have been years that my Dr. has said "knock it off, that's too thin" and today I am at the weight he said is perfect for me but I'd like to be 10 pounds lighter.

I have a new rule, no calories after 7pm. I try very hard to stick to it (sometimes Saturday night is hard if we have plans.

That is an excellent rule Jeffrey DiMuria 321.223.6253 Waves Realty . When I am not dieting I pretty much consume another dinner around 7PM.

Thanks, Bob "RealMan" Timm, for sharing your relatable foodie struggle! We've all had those moments where our cravings take the wheel, and your humor makes it feel so much lighter. Here's to staying on track and hopefully seeing "Six Pack Bob" in the summer sun—keep those comic strips coming!

My son Timmothy is the artist and his daily humor amazes me. When I use his strip for my daily blog it's the first time I've seen it so it's a fun challenge to read it and immediately make a post of it Lew Corcoran . Timmothy has written the strip every day for over 6 years now. I'll let him know you appreciate it. 😊
