Been Blogging Here for 20 Years

I saw a reminder today that it was a blogging anniversary. 

I started this blog 20 years ago today. The world was very different for me then.

My wife and I had just started dating. My kids were just starting the school year.

If you had told me then that I would retire at 57 years old, that my son would grow up to be a Monk in a monastery, and I would be a published author a dozen times over... I would have laughed like a pirate!

--Here's to the next 20 years...

Blogging stuff

This Blog has been quiet since the consolidation.

But somehow people seem to be finding it again.  Odd...

My writer's Blog has been getting all the love.

The Great Blog Consolidation

I want this RV, dammit.

I consolidated a bunch of blogs today into this one today. I actually deleted 26 blogs tonight after importing their content here.

I will blog here using Labels better.

I will post my pics, review movies, rant about TV shows, do my weigh-ins, rant about politics, tell jokes, cross post with Facebook, and detail my life all in one stop shopping.

And whine a lot.

For instance, dammit, I want this RV!  You can drive it from the upper level too! Like a convertible!

We are back!

Happy New Year fellow adventurers!

Holidays are over, and now we return to our work!

It was not as bad as I feared. I gained about 5 pounds back. I am now at 261 lbs as of this morning. That is down 9 pounds from September.

BR and I will reaquaint ourselves with our wonderful how excersie equipment and I will also be cracking out the Wii Fit stuff I got for Christmas.

--Here is to another good year!!

During the break

While we are on the holiday break I have still be working on the health side. I had a full physical, blood work and even the joy of a colonoscopy. All of that resulted in good news and not so good news.

The good news is my lower GI "is perfect". I was worried about that because I had passed some blood in recent months. Simple roids. No worries.

The not so good news was my blood work results. My cholesterol was a bit too high at 209. My good cholesterol was too low. Most concerning to me was my blood sugar was a bit too high at 150.

My doc endorsed and encouraged me to continue my weight loss. That alone should solve my blood chemistry issues in the long run. Got to step up the exercise too. The sedentary life is the real culprit here.

So far I I have gained back about 5 lbs since Thanksgiving.

--Time for a walk!

Recipes!

So last night we were talking about recipes. I set up a new category for people to be able to post their favorite weight loss recipes!

What are you Eating?
