So 4 years ago, I looked great. 135lbs, athletic, and aside from an acne problem, I didn't look bad.

Current day... 192lbs, acne gone, but I'm starting to look like a hippo. No energy, don't care about much, hard to breathe, just not healthy...

My fiancee is now my personal trainer. Last night was the start of a vigorous excersize to remove all my fat and rebuild the muscle I once had. My goal, a healthy 145lbs. I wont be changing my diet any more then I have, I will just excersize, as I have not done in years.

I will post here as a log to what I do, and my weight at the end of every friday.

Day 1 - 226 crunches, 20 push ups. - 192lbs

More to come next Friday!

Wish me luck!

I has friend code for Brawl... Kill me with great kill...

Add me and fight me with my poor brawl skills!

Team Name: Ronime Studios
Ronime Studios is a registered game design company located in northern Oregon, USA. We are a small independent company who's goals are to create games the way they should be. Fun and good. We built this project based on the advice we have received from developers at Blizzard, along with a voice producer from Viz.

Project name: dOLLhOUSe
The current project we are working to finish is called dOLLhOUSe, a third-person survival-horror game taking place in the small town of Newport, Oregon.

Brief description:
Upon the advice we had received from both Blizzard and Viz, we put some of our larger projects on hold to make a much smaller game, in which a horror idea of mine was put to use. DH is a project using the elements we have come to love in the Silent Hill, Siren, and Fatal Frame series, adding new aspects, horror, and gameplay features.

Target aim:
We plan on creating this game for both the Xbox360 and the PC. We currently are licensed to create games on the PC, and upon further game development, we plan on getting the license for the 360. Our current engine (Torque Game Engine Advanced) will allow an easy port to the 360 console.

Compensation:
Due to the source of funding being from my own pocket, all payment will be done as a percentage of revenue. 50% of profits will go back into the company for future projects/upgrading equipment/building a full studio.

So my life made a completely change, some good, some bad.

On Saturday I moved in with my beautiful fiancee, into a really nice condo that she bought 2 months ago over in Portland (Oregon), but in turn, i had to leave my family and friends, so it's a bit hard to deal with.

2 days ago I got a call for an interview at a credit union I applied for, and had the interview yesterday, and luckily, within 6 hours of the interview, they called me and I got the job! So thats a really good thing right there!

Kim and I also picked up our new kitten, Toby, which is a flame point Siamese kitten, and hes adorable! Our cat James isn't picking up to him well though, but he should be fine in a week or 2!

Work on our survival horror game dOLLhOUSe is back on track, but we severely need staff. I had to let go our main artist due to college stuff, and I'm not the best artist myself Anyone interested PLEASE reply to this and note me.

Oh yea! Theres a really cool comic coming out soon called The Uniques by Adam Withers and Comfort Love, check it out! I've done a few flats for them, and hopefully be doing a lot more in the future!

I hope the best to everyone, and hopefully everything goes well!
