The day after St. Patrick's Day and I'm pleased to announce...I behaved myself! No green beer or Irish stew and biscuits. I was tempted mind you, but I was able to resist. The thought of weighing in this morning kept going through my head. Speaking of weight, I lost three pounds which brings my total weight loss to 92 pounds! Apparently this is the point that I'm supposed to stop reporting my weight so it becomes a surprise on July 01st...hopefully it's a good surprise! But no worries I'm sure I'll come up with something to say on this blog. Just looking at that number (92) and it amazes me...wow! That is a lot of weight people and I still have more to go. Hopefully this will inspire other folks to tackle their own weight/health problems. Trust me, if I can do this so can you! You just need to take that first step...literally, and stay focused on your goal. There will be stumbles along the way but just accept that...you still have to live as well and enjoy some things...but after your stumble get back on your plan again without delay!


Still on the topic of St. Patrick's Day; did you know there are three forms of the Gaelic language? The Irish (Gaeilige), the Scottish (Gaidhlig) and the Manx. The last one I have never heard of before. The Gaelic language started in Ireland; it was called Goideleg. Near the end of the first millennium the language spilt as stated above into their different regions. Today only 200,000 can speak Gaelic in Ireland, 60,000 in Scotland and a mere 2,000 can speak Manx. Now you know.
The Sarge and I have a 32 k walk tomorrow...oh happy day. I'm going to bring more water this time! I started to get nervous when I saw the vultures circling around my head last week!
I'm back to doing two boot camps a week, it's a good cardio work out and I recommend that to anyone.

that's all for now...
Big dave out!
