This morning I got up and I just had to get in here to the computer and recap yesterdays journal I had planned on cooking Chicken outside for my salad fixens. I have decided to start my diet this month and the plan is to eat lots of salads with chicken and vegetables and cut out the red meats and potatoes to some extent. You noticed I said to some extent. This leaves it open for me to fudge somewhat on steaks and potatoes. Hey a guy has to leave a little room for weak moments.No one ever said that I was that strong. I believe with the salad diet I will be able to lose some weight. About 90% of my weight is in my mid section. I have slim legs and arms but when it comes to my waste line I have this large problem. I have cut back on everything that I thought was causing the old mid section to grow...only to find out that those things were not the problem. I guess I need to exercise as well as change my eating habits. OK so it started raining and that squashed my idea about cooking out yesterday. I also have to postpone my walk and come up with some other way to exercise. OK...I have the Wii exercise game that we bought.
That will do it...I can exercise with my Wii and I don't have to go outside. Now I have to buildup my courage to stand on that scale and have it tell me how obese I am. I will sign off here while I go and crank up the Wii...I will update you on the outcome as soon as I am through.Well actually this is the next day...I had to set down for 24 hours before I could update the journal. GEEE Wii says I am still obese...what is guy to do? Well it did say that I had improved on my exercises. I am now only 59 years old compared to the 72 that I was on the first time I used the board. Talk about feeling bad about ones self! I could hardly go out in public for some time after getting that news. OK I feel better today I am getting younger according to Wii so I think I can stop wearing the mask when I go outside.Today the sun is trying real hard to come out...even though they say there is more rain in the forecast. I am cooking my chicken outside on the grill as I post here. I will have to break every once in a while and run out to check my little chicks progress. I will also be back on the Wii board again today. I feel better about myself after yesterdays work out and I think if I keep it up I will start to lose weight. I really do need to get in shape before I head out on the road. I need to be able to set up at the campgrounds without groaning and caring on. Sherri says I sound like someone in labor....Well it is labor to bend over when you are shaped like a frog. Not much room to bend in the mid section...Wii says I have to dump about 25 lbs so I am going to be real busy on that Wii board.Well we sure are coming close to that 30 day mark on the old count down meter. Don't know if you have noticed or not but it is still clicking and I am getting excited a little more each day. In June I will have to have a special post of my first day of retirement. I am trying to think of where and what I should be doing for that post. I will have to give that some thought between now and then. OK I have gone on long enough. I need to spend more time with the chick outside...HE HE....she is HOT. I will catch you all tomorrow and update you on the Wii experience and tell you how the chicken came out....

Ah, Speedy, are you giving up the nightly ice cream? I love WII, I use it at our senior citizens center. I may have to look into getting it for the RV. You'll do just fine, just stick with it.
Joe even if you get in better shape don't stop making those noises cause gina may stop rewarding me for doing all them blue jobs!!!

Sheesh! I thought I was looking at an olympic athelete in those poses.Keep it up and hopefully the pounds will roll off. I'm fixing to start on a diet also. Gonna stick with the low carbs. I thought about going on a liquid diet,(nothing but beer),--just kidding.Next time we see each other, hopefully we will look like model senior citizens with flat bellies.Good luck and keep up the good workouts.
I think Sherri is leaving you home alone too much. LOL
Hugs,
