Good morning and Happy Friday all.
You know its going to be an interesting day when you get to work and find an old sweepstakes/poker machine sitting in the parking lot. I checked the security cam footage, and around 20 after 8, a couple of guys in a pick up drove into the parking lot, dropped it off, and drove away. It's in pretty bad shape, and the cash box has already been ripped out, so I doubt the thing even works. And I've already shot an email to the property manager to see how we'll proceed. I may end up having to contact the police in case it was stolen. Yeah for fun days.
Not too much else going on. Kat's going to be with a friend all weekend. I get to go shopping for my umpire clothes. I get to mess with the wiring of the bike tomorrow to see why my turn signal works intermittently. And Sunday I'm join up with a few guys and we're going on a group ride through Crowders Mountain and Kings Mountain. About a two hour ride through country back roads. No showboating allowed. Just a group cruise. Should be pretty fun!
I'll check back in later.... Y'all have a good day!!!
Yes, losing that much weight makes a HUGE difference, doenst it!?! When I hit the 40 pounds gone, I realized that I had lost the equivalent weight of a large bag of dog food. When I hit 70 pounds gone, I realized I lost a Melanie.
But the downside to that, is that when you arent moving around that much weight, you burn less calories throughout the day. Which is the biggest reason bigger people can lose so much weight so quickly when they start losing.
Gym buddies make a huge difference! Find a gym! Drag a friend! Thats why Mrs E started to go with me, many moons ago. Unfortunately, she cant keep up with my routine, and it would be detrimental for me to cut back to hers. She does her minimum 8 times a month just to make sure we get our gym reimbursement from my company, but she doesnt put in a massive workout or anything.
I miss my dungarees. I'm still no where close to being able to fit my .... back in them though!

It's definitely not for everyone. I go three times a week if possible. I dont like it. I dont like being sore the next day, or the day after that. But it's the only way I'll be able to reach my goals.

Oh, yeah, we did mountain climbers. And those dungarees were so awesomely tight around my thighs and ...., it was awesome! I weighed 170 going into boot, and weighed 170 out of boot. But I lost three inches in the waist. I'm trying to get back down to that 32" waist again.Lordy! I don't think I want to ever be as bulky as I was in boot camp again! I gained 15 pounds, and I think it was like 7 1/2 in each thigh.Did you have to do the dreaded "mountain climbers"? I think that's what did it.
One more day of work (Saturday) and then its 2 weeks VACATION!!!!!!!Not a danged thing planned, either. Who knows what I'll end up doing!

We're luck to be able to get a week at a time... I dont know what I would do with two or more weeks off.
