The big event for our neice Desiree was last weekend. We went over to Tampa on Thursday and Friday. The dogs misbehaved in the hotel and we got acall the first night from the hotel mgr. How embarassing. The day of the wedding they were pretty good and we did not hear anything bad abou tthem. We had planned on just leaving them in the van if the weather was ok for it, but it was too hot to leave them, so we put them in the hotel.
The wedding was great. Everything was just perfect. Congratulations Desiree and Ryan!!! Lori and I have been taking dance lessons since January so we could dance at he reception. We wanted to be a lot better than we are at dancing, but at least we knew some dances. The only thing is, they did not play any songs that we could dance the Rumba, Watlz or cha-cha. We did do some hustle and some turns, etc. but there were very few real dance songs, mostly pop and modern rock. We wanted to just get out there and dance as a surprise. My feet are still very bad and the dancing is not the best thing to do for them, but we need to get some exercise, so we make sacrifices. I need to get my pictures posted here.
One other big news item, our friends Alli and Jeff are getting married in June. Congratulations!! we are looking forward to another wedding :)
The office project is still in the works. Just when I though the house could not be more in a shambles, it gets worse. I have everything out and have pulled up the trim and carpet tacking. We are ready to paint. I am so ready to get this project done. I have been doing just alittle bit at a time and have spent all my free time working on that and have not done any blogging. Sorry, time just slips away.....

way too long
HA HA, realistic in this project is a month has gone by and I still don't have everything moved out. Am I as slow as a moles ass or what?
It has been way too log since I blogged. One whole month has gone by. A lot has happened. I am down below 200 lbs now. 196 to be exact. I can't seem to drop down below that though. That is about 10 lbs per month. Pretty good weight loss. I'm happy with it.
Lori and I have
been preparing for our niece Desirée and her fiancée Ryan’s wedding. Desirée asked me to be an usher and I am quite proud to be honored in such a way. So I am glad that I have been slimming down for the wedding. I went over to order the tux over the weekend. I’ll just say we did not have all the details, but I think it will be just fine.
BIG shout out to Dez and Ryan!! HEY, that big day is approaching quickly! We are all looking forward to the wedding and then trashing your car , er, er, I mean the reception afterwards.
Both Lori and I have been so busy lately, I’ll fill in the details in a few weeks. The tip of this iceberg is completely redoing my office. As I mentioned before, I am moving everything out, painting, ripping up the carpet and putting down wood (read Pergo) floors. I am still on the moving everything out phase. UGH. What a big project! Until next time….

206
I am down to 206 now, well on my way to my goal weight.
The office project is not going as quickly as I wanted. I have about half of everything moved out. I deceided to go ahead and put wood floors down as long as everything is out. I just need to focus on getting it donw. Yesterday I mostly set up my old office desk in the family room so I can still work. Setting it all up was more work than I thought. Painting will come next week and then the flooring the week after. I hope to do it quicker, but just tring to keep it realistic at this point.

18-1, Birthday & Project Office Redux
What a SuperBowl it was!!! I was so happy that the Giants won.
The Patriots are now 18-1 , or as I heard it from a true New Yorker, they are eighteen and one Giant loss.
I got to watch the big game on my big screen, which was very nice. I had the directv guy out on Saturday and I was crawling thru the roof to help the guy out. I was nice to know that I had the energy to do that sort of stuff now.
I had a great birthday on t
he 4th. My good friend Chris Cooper dropped a card off for me during the day. It was a long drive for him up here, so that was super nice. Lori took me out for dinner at Don Pablos then we went to the mall and we tried out the sleepnumber beds. My sleepnumber is 50. :) I asked if they had a seperate sleepnumber chamber for Franklin (our dog). The sales guy did not think it was very funny, but Lori and I did.

The Project Office Redux has started. I have not so much started this project as made a big mess of the entire house. I want to move the wall units we have in the family room now into my office. I have two desks in my office now, so one will have to go bye-bye. I have been putting the stuff from my desk in the hall in a few big coolers I have for temporary stroage. Like I said, big mess. So I want to really get moving on this tomorrow. I need to move my rather large roll top desk to a different wall and disassemble the other desk and so on and so on, etc. etc. It is going to be a work filled weekend.
Work has been very usy this week..... UGH

A belt notch
Well, I am 
happy to report that I am down one belt notch. 214 is today's wieght. I don't know how many more belt notches to go, but dieting is a slow process and it does take time. I am on track to be at my goal weight by mid-March. Lori and I both are doing great and not straying from the diet at all- well maybe some un-authorized vegtable chips and salsa, but hey you still have to live a little, right? Right.

Lori and I both are doing great and not straying from the diet at all- well maybe some un-authorized vegtable chips and salsa, but hey you still have to live a little, right? Right. The other big news is we finaly got our Christmas present. Yes, the big screen TV. Lori has painted the living room walls and I havemounted the bracket and I am working on 
running all the cables. I play around a lot with the cables as I get new gear, so I have a plan now that should be good ongoing. Every, I mean every cable that is possible to be run to the back of the flat-screen is being run out to wear I have the gear set up. I mounted it on the wall adjacent to the garage, so I am just running all of the cables out there and using RF remotes or senders to control the gear. I have it all mapped out and the bundle of cables is about 2" around. I am also installing the power outlet behind the set. The look I am going for is like the Jetson's. All I want to see is the picture on the wall and the speakers. It is very radical change over what we have now, so it will take some getting used to. It is nice now to just do a project and not have to go take a nap in the middle. :) Yeah, fatigue is a thing of the past now. : -) :-)

The Diet Still Lives
It has been such a long week. I worked 11.5 hours on Firday and I was pooped out. I am getting caught up on a lot of things at work, so that is good. The toll it is taking is not good.
Other than that, not too much going on. Go Packers and Chargers tomorrow!!
The diet is going very well. I was down to 217 this morning. 17 lbs down in two weeks; that is pretty good. I still feel fat though. When I get under 200, then I will feeel good I think. It won't be that long off.......
Lori is off on Monday and I am taking the day off and we are going to Universal Studios 
here in Orlando. We went a month or so ago with my sister-in-law, Bonnie and our Godchild, Summer. We had a great tiem and saw the Macy's (labeled) parade. It was so much fun, we had lunch at Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville and I had a couple of the famous margaritas and we had a nachos platter for lunch. If anybody goes to Universal, I would suggest doing that. For $15 you get a HUGE platter of nachos and drinks. That is about what one meal inside the park costs. The nachos is enough for four people easy. Since we a re dieting, on Monday, we will be bringin our own South Beach Diet boxed lunchs. Dinner is still up in the air, but I have a pizza recipe I want to crank back up here at the house.

Time for football
Today is the big game where the Jaguars take on the previously unbeaten Patrots. Yes, I know how to spell the name of their team, but I am coining a phrase.
Not much time for me to be in here blogging, gotta go get my food supplies for the game ready. Just veggies and some of my famous baked, boneless, skinless, no fat fillet, pseudo buffalo style, chicken, not wings, but breast meat snacks. They taste great, just using chicken breast meat fillets and no fat in the sauce. I bake them as the name states and put a healthy hot sauce on for them to soak up. I have not made them in a while, but I'm sure they wioll turn out good.
GO JAGUARS!!!!
