Weight Loss Week One: So I Guess This is Happening

I’m not even going to go into specifics about how much I ate over the past week, and how much weight I gained (clearly, the opposite of what I was supposed to be doing). I will tell you, however, that I ate at Eagle’s Deli twice on Sunday, and as most of you know, this is the worst possible thing you could do for weight loss, your heart, your digestive system, your skin and basically any type of overall health. For breakfast, I ordered a #6, which is basically one of everything. And for dinner I had mozzarella sticks and french fries forced upon me by my cousin Elizabeth (you know her as the cute girl behind the register). Ugh. Even if I hadn’t eaten anything for the next four days it still would have been a gain week. So to punish myself for it, I’ve decided to run a half marathon.

Rather, it was their tributes to two super Division I basketball players – Manhattan’s Kevin Laue and Michael Lizarraga from Cal State – Northridge.

Laue, a 6-foot-10 post player for the Jaspers is missing his left hand. At birth, the circulation in his left arm was cut off by the umbilical cord, and he has spent his whole life with a left arm that ends just past the elbow. He uses his upper arm to catch the ball and he can easily palm the ball with his right hand. He did a PG season at Fork Union with Coach Fletcher Arritt – one of the best people in the world. It was there – averaging about 10 points and 5 rebounds a game – that he drew some attention from DI coaches, but it was Manhattan College’s Barry Rohrssen who was the one to make Kevin’s dream come true.
