I weighed in this morning at 232 pounds, which seems appropriate since yesterday was Fat Tuesday. Now that it is Ash Wednesday, it's time to buckle down and lose some weight.
I'm going to follow the South Beach diet that we have followed before in the sense that I am giving up beer for Lent, and alcohol for the next two weeks.
I am also following a diet based on eating No Sugar and No Grain. (NSNG) So there is going to be a lot of meat in my diet. Protein baby! Bacon and Eggs!!
The difficult part is weaning myself off sweets. I love cookies, candy, chocolate, bags of sugar, brownies, cakes and pies. The question is; can I muster the self discipline to abstain from the sweets. I believe I can but it is going to be tough...especially over the next week or two. I think that once I have detoxified my system of the sweet stuff, I'll stop craving it like I do.
So stay tuned to this Blog as I'm really going to keep track of how I'm failing.
That's not very positive.

Important News
I hate to make this horrible admission, but I have only today published my Blood Pressure Chart for January.
We have a new Printer/Scanner and I'm still learning how to use it. And yet, I figured it out and now I have a BP Chart for January.
Earlier this week, we had a meeting at work where I was informed we were henceforth working a 30 hour week. Starting last Monday.
That's about $200.00 a week. I'm not sure what I can do to make up that amount of money. I can do some free lance stuff but that's going to be spotty unless I can find something that is a regular gig.
Anyway, I'm going to try and make the most of it since I have no other choice.

Hip News
Good News! My hip pain has disappeared. I'm not sure what was going there but I'm glad it went away.
In other news about me...I've had an interesting event take place at work. I've been reduced to 30 hours a week starting now. I'm not really thrilled about this now that I've had a chance to think about it. I have nice chunk of money I need to replace somehow.
I get to keep my insurance which is really important to me and the only reason I'm not planning to retire now.

More Mystery Pains
I woke up this morning with a pain in my left hip. It has given my a slight limp when I walk. This came out of nowhere. I was fine and pain free when I went to bed.
I first noticed it about 3 AM when I got up to go to the bathroom.
I am hoping this pain is temporary and not going to hang around like my left shoulder pain, which continues to vex me, but is not really painful.

Drivers License Renewal
I went out early this morning to go to the Department of Licensing to renew my Drivers License. It expires in about a month. I decided to get the Enhanced Drivers License which will allow me to fly within the states, Canada and Mexico.
I gathered all this information I needed including my birth certificate, proof of address, proof of Social Security Number, my vehicle registration and my old license.
I was expecting it to take an hour or more just because it's the Dept. of Motor Vehicles and they are notorious for long waits.
The biggest problem I had was driving to the office on the north side of town. That one is closed on Saturdays. So I Googled Wa. D.O.L. and confirmed the Valley office was open until 2:30.
So instead of getting there at 8:30, I arrived about 9:45.
The amazing thing is that I was out of there in about 20 minutes. It was a breeze. I waited about 10 minutes before I was called up and then another ten minutes to do the paperwork and take a picture.
I considered darkening my beard because of all the gray. In the end, I decided I'm just not that vain.
