Well, everyone else is updated.. I don't want to be left behind in the dust. :)
April was a rough month.. our home was broken into, and we were robbed. Worse than having valuable items stolen was that feeling of being violated... but we are slowly getting back to "normal".. though we will never be the same (by that I mean.. a lot more careful, and cautious).
I am actually counting my blessings, because it could have been a lot worse. I think we surprised them when we arrived home.. we believe they were planning to steal more, because certain items that should have been missing weren't. My wife heard footsteps outside her window soon after we arrived home... I thank God that we weren't hurt.. or didn't catch them in the act.
I recently got to a point where I decided I really want to lose weight. I'm more mindful about what I put into my mouth. So, I'm really watching what I'm eating during the week.. lots of fruit, salads, oatmeal, raw bars, and tea.. and trying to eat 5-6 small meals per day. I bought some weights and will be setting up a home gym soon. On the weekends I'm a little more relaxed.. but not as relaxed as I used to be. In other words.. I don't erase the progress I've made during the week on the weekends. And, on Friday, I broke into "the 20's".. I weighed in at 229.5 lbs. I haven't seen this number in a long time (except when I was sick a few months ago.. but I don't count that as "official" weight loss).
So.. slow progress... but on January 1, I weighed 241.. 4+ months later.. I'm barely dipping under 230.. so now with summer right around the corner.. it's time for me to step up my game.
