What could be better?

I have to admit that I hate diets. Good thing this isn't a diet! This is my 25th posting so far.

Yesterday my wife invited some friends over to have our own little Easter egg hunt. It was fun watching the kids run around and scoop them up. It amazed me how fast they picked everything up. Now if they would just pick their toys up that way! Perhaps we should be hiding candy in the toys as an incentive.

We also had the nice surprise of my father and brother coming over. They brought us a drier, because ours was on the fritz. It was fun showing them how our place had changed over the last few months.

I ran around all day mowing the yard, working in the garden, getting our sprinklers out and lots of other odds and ends. I can remember a time when I lost weight, feel great (both mentally and physically), and had so much energy to get out and do things. It's nice not to be a slave to the TV anymore. I can easily walk away from it because there are so many other good things to be doing.

Well, the scales said 264.4 this morning. That's another pound down and just one pound away from reaching my first goal of 263! (That means that I'll actually be on the body mass index chart! I won't be off the chart any longer!!!!!!!
