Me Bride

I forgot that FS uniform green did not count for St. Patricks day (employee committee rule). So I quickly improvised. I found a green index card in the supply cabinet. I added the cute note and even cuter pic of "Me Bride", clipped it to my pocket. I got several nods of appreciation, smiles, and laughs during the day.

On another note, our exercise challenge at work is going full swing. Coach Sue posted the previous weeks accomplishment last Monday which was lower than expected. So she gave a usual pep talk. Said she was going to be gone all week but had moles at the infamous M&M jar. Then she said.." Roger , that means you. You might as well drop and give me 10 right now." Well I saw her before she left so I dropped and gave her 10 pushups. Then she said for me to watch the team while she was gone. So I sent an email to the Fitnutz telling them that I took Coach's words to watch the team as being delegated as acting coach. So as my first act of leadership I gave permission to the team for a free for all at the M&M jar. Patty, our forest supervisor, responded to my email; "Roger, you are in such big trouble. have you considered transferring before Coach Sue returns?"

I am generally on the treadmill @ 4am for an hour. I was at 4 to 4.2 MPH but have kicked it up a notch to 4.4 MPH. Unless I oversleep, i get my 4 miles in. Sometimnes I do 5 miles. I have been losing 2#'s per week except for last week was a bust (0#'s lost, oreo pie and ice cream did me in). We get 10 miles credit for each pound lost. I'm hoping to get another 2 this week. I started out at 177 after the holidays an am down to @ 165/166. Every year I lose some weight and then put it back on through fire season and the holidays. One of these yrs I'll have the will power to keep it off. But I have knocked 10 #'s off. Several yrs ago I was always about 187#'s after the holidays. But the last 2 yrs I've been @ 177. Overall not bad for a 58 yr old.
