Milestones are where you find them. Last Wednesday, my wife passed a real one -- she's now lost 30 pounds.
Since I don't have any real progress to report, I had to find some.
And here it is -- for the first time in YEARS, my driver's license is telling the truth about my weight.
I got a new driver's license in the February of 1999, and had just shaved off the mustache I'd had for most of my 20's, plus I had a new address. So . . . I went down to the Driver's License Facility and got a license with my new picture, new address, and current weight -- 225.
I'm pretty sure I held that weight for at least a few years -- the purchase of my house both caused and allowed me to cut down on restaurant meals, and the first few years in the house I was doing a lot of finishing work and landscaping. So I got a lot of exercise. But somewhere along the line the exercise quit, and overeating started.
Anyway, I'm glad to be back down to what my license says. Which marks 52 pounds of total weight loss.
