    Violent weather here. Back still painful so only the elliptical today. Maybe tomorrow will be better on all counts. Certainly could be worse.

    OK, eights kids all successfully launched with 15 grandkids, still married to my best friend for 41years (she is a real Saint, an amazing lady, puts up with me) and now realizing I'm waaaaaay out of shape. Picture is from January 2018 at the Wedding Reception of one of our sons, hence the flower.

    It is time to change my eating and work out routines.

    Except for my wife' kids, and grandkids, computers are my life, so I've picked MFP to work with. Best I found.

    Five years from now and I'm retiring from Lockheed Martin, great place to work.

    Next!!

    Wicked storms tonight. Spent an hour mopping up water as it flowed into the house. I eventually won out it was a lot of free calories

    Another rainy, gloomy day in my neck of the woods. (day 4) Putting a damper on my walking-but I have other way to get in some exercise of course. Have a great and successful day everyone!

    It may APPEAR gloomy... but don't let it turn your mood gloomy... try something wild... go for a run in the rain. I love the rain.

    It ended up being a beautiful day, and my mood didn't get gloomy! :) I love the rain too! I like to sit on my porch with a cup of coffee and soak up the peacefulness of it and the fresh, clean smell.

    Good morning early birds and those to come. Back no better. :( Elliptical is my only exercise option. I get through it by watching Mad Men on my phone. Weight headed down after last weekend's food overload. Carpe diem.

    Greetings from beautiful Winston-Salem, NC! Home of the ACC Demon Deacons. Be kind to everyone! Hey - that includes yourself. We are often our own worst critics! When I hear people doing that - and I do it to myself all the time, but am getting better - I listen and ask them a simple question: How would you feel if what you just said about yourself....someone else said that about your wife or your child? Kinda puts things into perspective. Anyway, I ran out of dirty clothes today so I am wearing clean clothes! People in the office noticed! LOL! Be kind!

    And 51.....way better than when I was 22. WAY BETTER!
