Diet Update

My weight this morning was 196.4. It has consistently gone down everyday but one. I’m down around 8 lbs in a little over a week. I’ve also found the diet easier than it was the first three days. I still occasionally want desert, but I don’t want to quit to get it anymore. Written while…

Gloves

I was on Alton Brown’s site today to look at his list of essentials. (Interface on the list is a little hard to use. A list would have been simpler). One thing on the list is terry gloves by Jomac. I had looked at welder’s gloves at the hardware store and thought leather might be…

Cooking gear

It was the weekend of cooking. I had bought Alton Brown’s Gear For Your Kitchen on Thursday and decided what I wanted to try and cook. On Saturday morning Serenity graduated from puppy obedience training with a perfect score for Sit, Down, Stay and Leave It. As a reward we locked her in her crate…

Kingwood Kuk Sool Won

As I mentioned a couple of days ago, I’m thinking about going back to Kuk Sool Won. Last night we finally made it to the kids class. It was interesting. I was actually drawn to it, remembering it as being fun. Micah was totally opposed. Elijah wanted to try one class. That didn’t seem an…

Ideal weight

Since I started my new diet I’ve been purging my desk of candy and snacks I can no longer eat. Yesterday it was a 1/2 a pound of red hots – my favorite candy – and mini-bags of microwave popcorn. Today I discovered half a box of Super Hot Tamales and put them out. One…
