Well, I’ve been busy and neglected the blogging. Sorry everyone!

Shannon is doing great on his diet. He has lost 35 pounds in a little over a month. My diet? not bad but nothing like the great looser Shannon (whoops, that doesn’t sound right). I have lost (in 7 weeks) 10.1 pounds. Not bad, and at least I’ve lost each week and haven’t gained (yet). I’m on Weight Watchers and Shannon is on a modified Atkins diet.

Last weekend was crazy busy on the computer. I spent the entire weekend working on a friends web site to finish it up. He had paid me some more money and I thought it was time I stopped dragging my feet and just dig in and get it done. Take a look at it if you want. Bense (the owner of the web site) did all of his own layouts for each page and I did the code/HTML to make it work online.

I changed doctors and went for a physical this past week. It had been almost 10 years since I had a good physical. I’ve gone to the doctor plenty of times - just not for a physical. Since I’m well over 40 I should have my prostate checked every year. I got that done and a ton of blood work. I have to get up every night at least 3 times to go to the bathroom and I have recently had a sudden outbreak of boils (fun! aint it?) both of which are warning signs of diabetes. So they will check that out and let me know. I just had the blood drawn this morning, since I forgot that is usually done during a physical and I ate the day of the physical.

Jaki is doing great. No more weird behavior that we could not explain (stroke? siezures?) and she is letting me work my finger around on her teeth in prep for teeth brushing!

Have a great Easter Weekend everyone!

I couldn’t make it to the Monday Night Weight Watchers meeting so I went today after work. I lost another 3.2 pounds so my grand total loss is -9.2 pounds and I weighed in at 211.4 pounds (down from the original 220.6 pounds)

yea!

Well, I have been busy and tired…. all at the same time.

I am doing well with the Weight Watchers. Last week I lost over 3 pounds and so this week it was only a couple of ounces! No really 0.2 pounds! But that is okay - it was still a loss.

Jaki is doing fine. She is just as perky as ever. I need to start up her weekly teeth cleaning. I just couldn’t do it the other week cause she had such a bad week.

My web work has picked up with a project that got put on hold last year. It’s nice to get going with that project. It’s been on the back burner for too long.

I was going to go eat sushi with a co-worker this weekend and I was going to save my points (Weight Watchers) for it but now she’s canceled and I feel the need to eat sushi! I was looking forward to it this Saturday. I hope it isn’t postponed too long!

Well, I made it through the first week and I didn’t think I would loose any weight because I made some grocery store mistakes. I thought I was buying food that was in the Core Plan I’m following and found out it was part of the Flex Plan instead (points).

But it didn’t turn out too bad. I weighed in at 218.2 (-2.4 pounds from the previous week of 220.6 pounds)! Not a huge loss - but a good one. I usually loose 1 or 2 pounds a week and that is just about right. Nice and slowly.
