Introduction Text Back again and with a vengeance. I have managed to surprise and impress even myself since July 1st. I have not lost as much weight as I had planned but I have accomplished a great deal more than expected. I have succeeded in working out daily for the last 6 weeks. Mostly walking but I am routinely walking 3 miles a day, with the occasional 4 to 5 miles. It has become both a compulsion and a need. I don't feel right if I don't walk daily. The results are lower blood sugar, higher energy levels and I am fitting into clothes I was on the verge of throwing away. If I had, I would have had to go out and buy new ones. And money is on the short side. I am on Sparks daily reading and tracking my progress. My life style is changing and so is my out look on the future. Thanks for the encouragement.

My goals are shifting as I learn more of what I can and can't do. The ultimate goal is to be at 200 lbs by July 2014. I retire in 2018.. Sell the homestead and RV for a year or so and enjoy the USA. Look for a new home and begin a new life.

My program is to continue the changes I have made to my diet and the exercise I do everyday and to understand that some days you just have to kick back and let your body enjoy being you.

I sometimes feel like that Frank Sinatra song where he sings the different things that he has been. My students think I have done everything and been everywhere. I wish... However as I get older I appreciate the diversity of jobs I done and the occupations I have performed. Retirement is the new focus and I am looking forward to a whole new world in which to experience life.
