More on this later...

Evening Update:

The weight loss has slowed but i don't feel any bigger or even bloated. I actually wore those size 36 jeans today and guess what they do feel loose. Maybe they run big but it felt good to wear them all day. No matter how slow the weight loss gets, I will stick to what I have been doing as I have dropped over 38 lbs. Ultimately, I still have 37 lbs to lose BUT I know that I can do it.

Thoughts of the Day:

1) Renewal - So, I used yesterday to clean out my clothing bureau. I had six drawers of clothes but had only been using about 2 of them. The other 4 drawers had some old clothes that i never really wore. Now, I said " I need to clean them out and renew my clothes choices. With the weight loss, I have moved from a size XL to more of a L in tee shirts, under shirts and undies. SO, I got a big plastic bag and and started to sort out the clothes that I would no longer need and folded them so That i could donate them. I filled up a whole plastic bag (Garbage bag size) of clothes. I took it to the local donation Bin and placed it in. Now someone can enjoy my clothes and use it. As for me, i kept the things that still fit....may need to get new stuff though...

2) New Car Smell - I am a dude...a guy, there is nothing better than getting a new car. My current lease is up in a little over a month and I decided not to go with my current brand. I was a loyal Nissan guy but given the country's current struggles, I decided to buy American. I loved driving my wife's Ford Fusion (2012 model) and we visited the Ford dealership...they were very no nonsense regular people. The owner and his wife both work there and they are salt of the earth people. I was able to pick out the car I wanted and test drove it. I am getting a 2013 Ford Fusion with a Navigation package. The car is a beauty and I will be getting it in 6 weeks. The level of service we get from this Ford dealership is awesome and I have returned the favor by posting a very favorable online review. They are a great example of how you should run your business. I used to HATE going to car dealerships...now I think my wife and I found the dealership we will deal with long term..I can't wait to get my new car...I love that new car smell.
