Jake tickets

Bought tickets to hear Jake in Kansas City on Sunday, March 11. Another uker, Sue, and I will make the 3 1/2 hour drive from Lincoln to hear him at 7:00pm and drive back that night. Might get some others to join us and would like to plan something for the afternoon in KC. The city is well known for BBQ but I'M ON A DIET.

Speaking of diet, the weight this morning was 219.6, up 0.2 from the previous Sunday. The measurement was a nice little reminder to have smaller portions and to move about more. Have also been steering away from bad carbs such as the occasional donut, muffins, and sweetened beverages.

The snow the previous Saturday was the fourth largest snow fall in a 24 hour period for Lincoln. Streets and sidewalks are clear because the ground was so warm. Then things turned much colder during the week. This morning it was -4f. Three of us "brave people" were out playing disc golf this afternoon, marching around in the snow that's just over the top of the hiking boot. It was especially fun throwing the discs upside down and having them slide on top of the hard crusted snow.

The new MacBook Air is working great. Put three old Apple laptops and two old Airport Base Stations on ebay this morning. Would like to move these things out of the house, get some cash, and look at getting  a factory refurbished 11" MacBook Air for my daughter. She's a high school freshmen and was on honor roll this week.

Alright everyone out there now go, fight, win!

The Snow

New computer day! MacBook Air, it's fast and light.

Lincoln, Nebraska, has received about 9 inches of snow fall today. It will be in the top 10 for most snow on a single day for Lincoln. Ironically the snow blower broke after doing half the driveway, guessing the diaphram in the carburetor because the thing will run but only when repeatedly pressing the primer. Had to switch to the old fashioned shovel. Good exercise for a guy in UUBL!

Hit 218 on Wednesday, was 220.0 this morning though. Will see how the official weigh in goes Sunday morning. Recall peaking at 226 in late December so there is slow but sure movement in the right direction. All in all I feel like I have a descent mind set and am doing the right things, just need to stick with it a be patient with the results... or try a lot harder for more drastic results.

What's weird is my weight hasn't changed significantly in the past two weeks although portions are down, pants belt is in a notch or two, shirts fit looser, coffee seems to perk me up a lot more, and I have more desire and energy to move about. The added energy is a great unexpected bonus. Could this manifest into even more energy, which then burns more calories? Duh... I'm having a face / palm moment. Eat less and you'll have more energy. Unintuitive but is actually happening.
