Stepping On The Scale

Since coming back to DE from TX over 13 months ago I have lost more than 40 pounds. I began noticing that I was losing weight a few months back and my clothes grew increasingly looser since then. Finally, a few weeks ago, I weighed myself over at Manny's (I don't own a scale). I was 265 pounds. Weighed in again last night and I'm down to 257. Last time I checked the poundage in TX it was 295 and I surely gained at least a few more pounds after that. So I'm working with a starting figure of around 300 pounds. I was FAT!! The last year in TX my job was to sit in front of a computer all day. Back here in DE I was returned to my field tech position and have been working very hard, which is the major reason for all the weight loss. I still drink too much beer and eat too much junk, but I have been noticing lately that I'm not as hungry and don't eat as much at each meal. I guess it proves that hard work is good for you!

Back To Work

I need another vacation! The first 2 days back at work have been a bit tough. All the catching up has been a chore, let alone the new work. But I'm glad to be back at it because the mortgage needs to be paid. Welcome to reality!!

Almost Over

Today is the last day of some vacation I took from work. Glad I took this extra day! Got a lot done at the co-op and am pretty much settled in now. Also caught up with some friends during the time off and checked on Murph a few times. He's doing well. My brother Jon was also off last week and helped Murph out a lot.

Doing some laundry now and am off to run some errands after that in the blazing heat. Stay cool everyone!!
