Well, down another 1/2 pound.
This diet is definately showing me that my shiz don't stink!
Back to work, this taking three days off last week, left me a few fires to put out!

Ok, I scored pretty good on this one, but my gosh, some of those would have made good racks! Oh yeah, I'm down 1/2 a pound, so not jumping up and down. Have to travel next week, so am going to pack stuff to eat. |  |

Father / Son Day
OMFG! It feels like my thighs are on fire, and my hip is killing me today. Let's back up 24 hours.
Aaron and I got the boat in the water and did some fishing, catching a few red grouper's, but they weren't keeper size.
We then came home, unloaded the boat, then loaded the Durango for a run to Raymond James Stadium for the Buc's home opener pre-season game against the Dolphins.
I forgot how high up our seats are, but was reminded by the people sitting by us when they asked me for a tissue, as he had gotten a bloody nose!
We were a little into the second quarter, when I noticed one of the Ref's running down the field, pointing at the opposite endzone, where lightning was visible. All of a sudden the field was being cleared of both teams, and the fans were leaving their seats.
Aaron and I decided we would leave, as the rain wasn't showing any sign of letting up. We listened in to the sports channel, and about 45 minutes later, the game started back up. We were able to watch the third and fourth quarter from the comfort of home.
Now let's come back to today. Note to self, get healthier, and keep on loosing weight. I weighed in at 240.5 this morning, although standing up straight was a problem!
Cod for dinner tonight, as we decided we want fish in our diet (even if I can't catch enough of it), at least twice a week.
Another fun day is ahead of me!

August 24
Well, here we are, another Monday morning. I've already done 30% of my work for the day already, so am taking a quick break. Figure I'll keep weighing myself each morning, and see how it fluctuates. Thursday I was 244, Friday it was 244, Saturday it was 243, Sunday 241, today 240. I have spent alot of time reading lately (wink wink, nudge nudge), so am thinking that may be a good portion of the reason. Our diet's are definately changed for the better. I smoked turkey legs for 5 hours yesterday, then had a baked potato with low fat sour cream, and steamed beans for dinner last night. Actually filled me up!
Today I get to make shrimp grits for dinner, haven't made that in the past, so am kinda looking forward to it!
OK, breaks over, back to work.

August 22nd
Spent the morning out looking for manatees, to no success. We did manage to see a few dolphins though, so it was well worth it.
Didn't have to spend any extra money to go out today, as we planned on just a few hours out due to not getting too far from a bathroom.
No real bad side affects yet, but this is only my second day. We are being very concientious *I know, I spelt it wrong!, about what we eat. Just switching habits has caused me to loose one pound in the 3 1/2 days I've started eating better.
Shan is going to the grocery store to pick up more stuff we can have to eat, and she put together a very nice care package of the stuff we couldn't eat, and sent it with Adam over to his friend Harry's. They partied like it was 1999 last night, ok, they ate like it was, well, like there was more to life than top ramen!
Gotta go wash the boat. Going to take most of next week off as vacation, so will take the boat out for a few mornings of fishing, who knows, maybe I'll catch dinner!

A Verity Starts Dieting
Just a quick update on things in the full time Verity Household.
After a visit to the doctor, I found that I have gained 12 pounds (24 over all) since quitting smoking. So after doing some research, Shannon and I have decided to begin the Alli Diet. For those who do not know what that is, it is a lower fat diet (you don't have to change your eating habits, but it's reccomended), and you take a pill which stops a lot of the fat your body would normally absorb, and it passes through your system rather quickly. Some people call it the "Keep a clean pair of undie's handy" diet. For the first week, they reccomend you don't get to far away from a bathroom :-)
My goal is to loose 25 pounds minimum, and it can be done in six months, as long as I get more active which means we will be using the bikes more, and I have already started cooking a lower fat diet for us. Shannon is going to do the diet also as my support person!
OK, I have a conference call to lead in a few minutes, and I haven't typed up what it will be about, so, wish us luck!

Here we are, August 18th, 2009.
Thought I'd give everyone a quick update on what has been happening in the Full Time Florida Verity's household.
Aaron has taken on a second job, due to a mean, harsh, slap in the face called Reality stepped in!
He spent his summer having fun, and decided he wanted to take the fall off from school. Rent begins September 1!
Adam has registered for Manatee Community College, but won't be starting till Spring quarter. We are very happy that he has decided to do this, as we firmly believe you need some extra schooling outside of high school to get farther in life.
Amber and Mark are planning their wedding for November of 2010. We never realized how much goes into planning for something like this!
Shannon and I are plugging right along with business as usual.
We are anxiously awaiting Wells Fargo's move into the East coast, and what it brings, no one knows.
OK, I can't sit here typing all morning long, as I have 18 accounts to finish typing up to send up to Corporate.
