lose ten pounds
I think I've done it? 2 years ago

I don’t weigh myself a lot, but when I added this goal I’d been at a gym and hit 208 on their scale. Last week I was at a gym and stepped on the scale and was 190. Lots of my friends have commented over the last couple months that I’ve lost some weight. Its nice to hear, and its good to lose some weight, but unfortunately its been on the stress diet. I’ve had some bad stuff happen in the last couple months, and have been worried and upset a lot, and don’t eat. I guess there’s a good side to everything, losing weight is good, its probably good for my blood pressure, I just wished I’d done it a different way.



take a vacation alone
Untitled 2 years ago

I’ve done a couple solo vacations, a month in England, Ireland and Scotland, and a week long ski vacation in Innsbruck Austria, and a couple camping trips in Glacier Park in Montana. The freedom is great, go where you want, see and do what you want. They both were vacations that I’d been wanting to do for a long time, but couldn’t get any friends or relatives to go with me so I decided to go on my own.
