12 November 2007 Weigh-In

As exciting as it was to hit the 210’s, it was bliss itself to finally hit the 200’s! 

I am now 209.8 lbs; only 9.9 lbs away from being less than 200 lbs.  I have a feeling that I will meet that goal by the end of this month; certainly before I get home on 14 December!  My clothes are getting pretty baggy on me lately; I’ve had to go online to buy new shirts and jeans.  It is much nicer to buy smaller clothes than it is to buy larger ones! 

I have a very long layover in Houston on my way home next month; my friend Joann, who I haven’t seen since September 2006, will be meeting up with me while I’m there.  I’m really excited about visiting with her!  She is one of my dearest friends.  I'm hoping to get together with all my good friends while I'm home next month. 

My cold is finally going away; hopefully I’ll get some of my former energy back soon.  I’ve just been so tired lately; and exercising has taken a backseat to sleeping.  I really do need to exercise more; I’d probably see better results if I did.  It is just so difficult sometimes to balance 12 hours of work every day alongside exercising, socializing, relaxing, and sleeping.  If it was an 8 hour workday, that would be much easier to deal with.  Ah well.  I’ll just keep working at it.

It’s been quiet here in the Green Zone as of late, thank goodness!  I’m not sure if it has anything to do with the military and/or political situations or perhaps people are simply tired of living like this and are thinking about making things better.  One could hope, anyway.

That’s it from this side of the planet.  I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying all that life has to offer.  Please continue to keep in touch; it is always so nice to hear from all of you.

Cheers!
