I thought Recess meant to take a break

And hopefully Randall Weems won't tell on me.

My current project for home improvement is to put recess lights in the kitchen. It's been much easier since we went to Lowes instead of the local place. Lowes had the recess lights specifically for remodelling (They slide through the hole and catch on the cieling, instead making me try to figure out how to attach to the joist or something) A handyman, I am not, but I do my best. I replaced three old fixtures Saturday, and Juanita decided to add a fourth tonight. I got about half way through, but the ladder and wire and tools were in the garage and it was raining. I did get the hole cut in the ceiling, though, so it won't take long when I get back to it. She hasn't decided on a trim yet, but when she does, I'll post a picture.

Speaking of Saved By the Bell

This has to be a joke, but we'll see

More Saved by the Bell

Cha-cha-changes

My template is sorely in need of an update. Until I sit down and figure out what I want this bad boy to look, you can settle for a set of links to some folks I like to vitually hangout with. I called it Buddy Blogs, like Buddy Bands, for all you Saved by the Bell fans.

One more time.

Like most of the people I know, I'm overweight. I used to to be a lot worse, but I also used to be better. A few years ago, I was really bad. We had been doing a Walk at Work program. A couple of girls at work invited me to go to Weight Watchers with them. I went and the program worked really well for me. My first weigh in was 308 (remember that I had been walking, so I started somewhere above that) After about 10 months, I got a 75 pound magnet. That was kinda flukey, I think, but I was doing well at about 240. Then I got to doing other things and skipping the old WW meetings. You still have to pay for missed meetings, so it was getting expensive. My weight slowly started creeping back up into the 260's. That's still about 40 pounds from where I started, so I'm not a total failure. I'm having a hard time staying motivated. It's odd, because whether I eat light or eat a lot, my weight still hangs around the same numbers. What I have to do is make time for exercise. When I was on Weight Watchers I had a Gazelle, and that worked really good. As I said in my last post, I've been reading while using a recumbent bike, and for the last week I've lost a couple of pounds.

We are doing a Biggest Loser type deal here at work, so hopefully that can help motivated me, too. We'll see if I cna mae it through the weekend without gaining anymore than where I started for Biggest Loser, then I'll know if my weight is headed in the right direction.

The weird thing about my weight is that it's all in my belly. My legs are pretty normal, my arms are fine, my face is fine. Of course, they say belly fat is the last to go, so we'll see if I can get back on track.
