33 and 1/12th
2 months into the new year (1 month into being 33) and my how the time has flown.
Life’s been busier to say the least.
Work has been more challenging than ever (you’ll see what i’m working on in the weeks ahead).
Side projects are progressing well, some at different paces than others but all is well and somethings are extremely encouraging.
Social life has improved tremendously, for the first time i feel like i have a sane social life here and am meeting all sorts of new people and getting reacquainted with old ones. Still lacking any romance but what’s new about that.
Also of mention is the dropping of 15+lbs since the beginning of the year. Over the past couple of years i’ve tried all sorts of things to drop my weight but generally nothing worked. So what’s my secret? i call it the white ain’t right diet. which is a cooler name than any actual diet plan. Basically the premise is to avoid anything processed like flour, sugar etc.
But mostly i attribute it to avoiding regular sodas and sweet tea (essentially the sugar they contain). The amount of exercise i’ve had in the last two months really hasn’t been anything remarkable or out of the ordinary. This is the lightest i’ve been since 99. This is rather important now that my regular monday nights equate to more empty calories but i
gotta say it is a fuller life.

my secret is moving to another country, getting a job with odd hours, and just not eating much. Worked for me…

Funny, my secret is a lot like the good Doctor’s. I am back in the sandbox, working midnight to noon. Work Out, Work, Sleep. Makes shedding the lbs easier…

Ditto to Dennis and BotSO. And well done you, John!
Now…we just need to work on that romance department…I’d like to say that I’m in a “dry spell”, but it’s more like FAMINE.

Hey, I remembered the 4th white devil! So they are : flour, sugar, milk, and table salt.
