Milestone

You may have noticed that I have not been posting my regular "That Damn Carl Diet" updates. I've decided to keep the postings to just milestones now. Things are going well though. Just hit the 30 lb milestone so thought I would update you. Hard to believe that I've lost 30 lbs already. It is good in some ways. I feel a great deal better. I"m not as tired. Sleep better though and my legs and feet don't hurt as much when I stand at work for 4.5 hours. The down side is that not many people have noticed. Ummmm....gee I've lost 30 pounds and you don't see a difference. Damn it! There are noticeable differences. All my pants are lose and my tops. I have resisted buying new clothes although really I could use some new bras as they are quite lose now. I'd really like a new bathing suit too. Don't want that too lose.

On the diet front I'm rather in a grove. Not cursing Carl anymore. Success leads you to want more success. I'm doing my 10K steps a day and on Friday getting 15K to 20k because of work. I ride my bike with Ben on the tag along. So far that is it for exercise. Keep intending to get back to the gym. Still have those flabby arms to work on. Also my plan to exercise in the yard with the kids has not really panned out. Ben insists on wanting to show me how to jump ropewhenever I get my jump rope out and Sarina wants me to herself with no distractions. I'll keep trying. I do have an exercise book with easy to do moves but am afraid I'll look like an idiot standing in the yard pretending I"m skiing.
