Check out this picture taken in downtown Boston, its right in the Public Garden. Right next to the "Cheers" Bar.

Our first storm casualty....

We just had a 62 mph wind gust and look what happen, right in front of our house!!

weather alert!

This is Irene, She could be headed right for New England, Sunday into Monday. The direct path is still unknown, 30 miles either direction will have a great impact on what we get out of this CAT 3 storm. could be 80mph winds and up to 10 inches of rain. I will keep ya posted as it gets closer. I am off till Monday, so for now all I have to do is sit and wait for it to show up.

Earthquake in DC. Happens only 23 mins after I took off from that airport. Crazy how things happen. Thanks guardian angel for looking out for me today!

Week 3 update.

Well they say the last 5 pounds is always the hardest. Today I weighed-in at 189.4 which is pretty much the same from a week ago. The good news, I may of broke through the 190 threshold to stay below that plateau would feel really good. I am going strong sticking to my diet and continually working out almost every day. I still am shooting for 185 as my goal by Oct 1st and with just 6 weeks to go, I think its a very reachable goal.

I just had my week 2 weigh in can you guess what it was.
Less than 5 pounds to go to my goal. Wahoo!!!

Week 1 Update.

So I just had my weigh in for the first week and it said 191.6. Down 4.4 pounds. Pretty good start. I have been really good on my diet all week. I did have one reward day of spaghetti and garlic bread, but was very good and rode my bike 13 miles that day, so I thought I deserved a good Italian dinner. So that being said I am only 6.6 pounds away from my goal of 185. With 7 weeks to go I should have no problem making my goal. Although I have cravings all day long, I keep telling myself, " Nothing taste as good as Skinny feels" and 7 weeks, anyone can give up something and stick with it for 7 weeks.......Yeah i know, just keep saying it!!

Nothing beats riding a beach cruiser on the strand with the ocean breeze blowing against you, the pacific sun soaking into you.

Boston is such a fun city to take pictures.

I had just gotten my haircut downtown and about to go into the subway station

This is it....the countdown has begun to Rebecca's wedding.

Today is August 1st, 2010. I have exactly two months to reach my weight loss goal.

I am off to a good start, I made it to the gym, had a balanced breakfast, downloaded my charts and ready. 8 weeks. That's not too long, anyone can stick to a plan for 8 weeks right?? Oh man I hope so!! My starting weight is 196, down from 217 on December first, I want to be 185 by October 1st. That's only 11 pounds, very attainable and reachable goal. So this is it, no more food cheating, no more excuses. I will make my goal!!
