Day 312 - Tempt, Taunt & Try

Shamrock shakes, oh they tempt us so.

Especially my wife, she love her a shamrock shake.

She was out of town this past weekend when I bought these.

Brought them home for the kids.

When did they start putting whip cream & cherries on them? 

Consider this your public service announcement for the day.

Car seats, yes they can taunt. Recall recently my niece spent a day with us.

Having her with us required me to put the old skills for installing a car seat to use.

Boy, designs sure have changed in a decade.

Took me a solid 5 minutes to install & 10 to uninstall the next day.

I am pretty sure strapping in astronauts is less complicated.

Traffic, definitely a source for trying my patience.

Especially in winter.

Oh this winter picture of my ride in to work this a.m., pretty huh?

Wrong, no Currier and Ives wonderland here.

Just a bunch of impatient soles adding to the commute time via their inability to be patient.

Not sure if you can see the sign in this pic, looks close...

I am game to try many things in life, variety is the spice of life & I like it spicy!

But WTH is eyebrow-threading???

I have no idea, and I don't think I want to know.

Nope, my $5 is staying in my wallet.

 Progress, not Perfection people... Make that what you try for this day!

Day 204 - 53% Progress

So how was everyone's week? Fulfilling and fun I hope. The week was a good one for me. Weekend is good too. My wife & I were out and about this morning and will soon be back out for more. Good times, so I have very little time to get this post out, but out it will go.

My Sunday shout out this weekend goes to Teresa over at Today Is A Good Day To Diet, she had a birthday this week. In her birthday post she included a 'Call to Action' for her coming year. The entire post is beautiful; lost weight, gained it back, acceptance, and gratefulness; just a very well written self-reflection. The icing on this cake for me was her 'Call to Action', just read it and I think you will feel as I was; moved and inspired.

My week was a much better display of consistency. Funny however that the previous inconsistent week brought me slightly greater loss than this past week. The human body is a funny device at times. Yes, funny. I could easily replace the word funny with frustrating in those sentences. But nope, no way. I continue to make progress and I refuse to find any frustration in progress of any kind. Sure, I'd love to see a slightly faster pace, just a tad; but patience will do as much to see me to my goal as effort.

Today I register a mark of 53% pounds lost.

All totaled 64.5 pounds has been lost in the past twenty-nine weeks, 1 of those this past week.

Today I weighed in at 255.5 pounds.

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday.
