Wow, end of October already!
Made a fantastic dinner last night, new recipe turned out real well, I've got to start writing down some of these so I can make my millions publishing cook books!
Have to back up one blog. Dad is enjoying getting to wear shorts every day, and no, we haven't gotten any complaints from your neighbors saying he's running around without his pants on!
Looking forward to Mom's dinner tomorrow. I know she has Bing and Google on her laptop, so I'm sure she will surprise us with a great dinner!
Back to work. I have to go cast my vote for best baked goods at my branch on Fruitville Rd.

10/28
Another day in paradise. Temps are staying in the mid to upper 80's, and before you start complaining about how cold it is up north, tough shizzit! We moved here for this, and you can too if you want to pay exhorbarante taxes and insurance!
Ok, got off track a bit. M&D are getting themselves settled back into a routine again, and Dad seems quite happy to not have to put on pants each day.
Looking forward to my weigh in Friday, as I am close to moving to a new notch on my belt. That is a very good feeling.
Looking forward to Mom's attempt to cook a better meal than me on Saturday. Already know it won't hit my caliber of kitchen dominance, but enjoy getting a night off from cooking none the less. Shan and I are getting more excited about our August trip up North next year. I don't think there is a day go by that we don't discuss more things about it.
Ok. It's time to wrap up for the day!

Had Dad & Mom over for dinner tonight. Had alot of fun hearing about thier travels.
Mother in her competitive nature has decided we are in our cooking forays, it's going to be who can cook the best low fat meal. This does give her the edge, as they have done many a diet, and I'm sure she has recipe's dating back before Microwave dinner's.
On another note, we discussed next years family reunion, and are going to start making our plans for a vacation to the N.W.
Get ready!

October 19th
Ok, quick check in. M & D are on their way here from the NW, and we are gearing up for a great six months.
I notice on their blog though that my little bro is now sporting a goatee, and a rather impressive one.
Little did he know that I knew he would some day try to imitate me, so in a pre-emptory strike, I have changed my looks.
Part of the change is of course working on loosing weight. At my last weigh in on Friday, I was back to 12.5 lbs lost thus far. The second change had to do with facial hair. After a 4 day weekend, I decided instead of just shaving back down to my goatee (I hate to shave on my off days, and look rather scraggly after a 4 day), I would go for a more contemporary look.
I took this photo with my little netbooks camera, so it isn't very clear, but it is of me sitting in my hotel room (yes I cannot fall asleep yet after driving over this evening), and the lighting isn't the best.
Shan and I had a great weekend, getting lot's done, then doing our tailgating at the Succaneers game. We were surrounded by our friends, and even though we are now one of the few 0-6 teams, we still root the local team on.
Ok, no jacuzzi in this room, so guess I'll go read my book in a hot bath, and hope to fall asleep soon.

October 8th
Holy Crimenie's! It's been 3 weeks since I last put anything on here, so I better let you all (all two of you) that we are still alive!
Last Friday's weigh in has me down 12.5 lb's, and I have to weigh in tomorrow, and know I've lost a lb or two.
Went on my first road trip for work since my dieting started, and packed my full cooler with food for myself to eat rather than going out to eat. I know there are things I can eat at restaurants, but haven't really looked into it too much. Wasn't bad though, as I ate fruit for breakfast (did buy myself my spicy V-8), then ate sandwiches for lunch with my low fat stuff. Didn't bother me in the least.
Now it's off for a four day weekend. Shan and I have a lot of stuff to get done around the house, and it will be nice to just cut loose for a few days.
Mom and Dad leave I think next Monday to begin their trek to the S.E., and should arrive around the 23rd I think. We are excited to get them back down to the 90+ degree weather we are still having. This will be their first true "Sno-bird" trip coming down in October. They will see that it doesn't cool down here till late November, and then we have 2-3 months of weather that some days doesn't get above 60 degrees.
Ok, off to get dinner started.
