I have lost 24 lbs in the past 6 weeks, 16 in the past three weeks, 5 since last Friday! Part Atkins, part common sense. The worst part is staying away from Cokes. I'm addicted bad! Drinking C2 is about as away from The Real Thing as I can get!!! But other than that, it's no bread-cakes-pies-donuts, few potatoes, little pasta, basically no carbs...that is except for the afore mentioned sugary soda. My Cholestral is within range, blood sugar a little high, (once again those pesky colas) but overall a pretty clean bill of health.
I am enthused about my plan to retire in early 2008. Three years, now that's something I can live with. I require little in the way of amenities, food-shelter, guitar, hard drive recorder that's about the scope of it. Yes, a loft with hardwood floors and some minimalist furniture would be the ideal, but I don't see how I can get there from here. I'll be satisfied with the afore mentioned perks plus occaisional musical get togethers with my friends.
Voting in suburban Atlanta, east of the city, lines running 1-2 hrs depending on time of day. Voting early, Deb and I waited two hours but after we voted (9:30) the line had lessened considerably. 9:00 till 2:00 the wait is less than an hour, after 4:00. God help you!
My camping trip with Cole was super, we had lots of interesting experiences, our camp neighbors were straight out of Deliverance, but very friendly. We had everything from Rangers conducting a traffic stop accross the bridge from our site, to all day all night drinking, to fist fights at 4:00 and hot wiring pick-ups at dawn! I'll give you the full story later.
I have decided to retire in three years and move to the Dale and Tom Home for Unwed. Fathers.which is in South Carolina. Chief activities here revolve around feeding the dogs, walking the twenty seven acres (without stepping in the dog doo), playing guitar and singing songs about the unwed mothers we have left behind. At night we sleep naked if we choose, delighting in the fact that we can do so without comments from said mothers.
