Happy Tuesday everyone! This WLJ will have to suffice until the 22nd, as I'll be away from a computer next week while visiting Mom's. Her internet is far too slow for me and I doubt I'll be able to get WiFi anywhere, so I'm just going to skip it.

Anyway here's the news for this week: Yesterday morning's weigh-in was again 199. Saturday night - after a cookout that included two pieces of birthday cake - I was at 200. I did take a picture of that weight and will post at the bottom. Also, a personal reminder from last week, I measured my waist. 40 inches, totally relaxed. However I can no longer wear my favorite shorts without a belt - and my belt is comfortable fully cinched..... on it's smallest hole, which puts it at 35 inches. It also makes those shorts more comfortable!

Today I'll change the ticker to reflect this weight, which hasn't been that 194 in over a month now. Today I'm starting with the hand-weights part in addition to the walking. As you know, I bought myself some new music over the weekend, so I have more tunes to walk with while I act like I'm 12 again. :-)

Oh, and off-topic, but I had to mention.... and if you've read this far, then you're someone I really need to 'impress' (for lack of the right word at the moment)..... two weeks ago I found my very first gray hair. It was a pubic hair. Dammit! I cut it off QUICK! LOL But that, to me, is a sure sign that my youth is OUT THE DOOR. She ain't coming back. I'll miss her for a while.

Oh well, I *am* 31 years old, it was bound to happen. I just wonder when one will appear on my head..... well, it's noon - time to feed the kids, exercise, then feed myself. Have a great two weeks!! Until next time ~
