Sigh, that is inspiring, Aquarius! I should go and do likewise. Now that the ice is gone, I can take long walks again, so that should help. 8)

:D Way to go, Aquarius! Enjoy the increased attention! I can't wait to see the pictures of your progress and your crossing of the "finish line." :thumbsup: :wave:

It's amazing. When you eat less, or exercise, you loose weight. lol . . . As I discover sometimes, usually accidentally.

I hadn't thought about pictures because I still feel like I look pretty gross.

Me: WTF??
My ass: Don't look at ME. YOU ate all that stuff that made me fat.
Me: Yeah, but...DAMN!!

Thanks for all the encouragement, though! :D

:lol: :lol: One of my closest friends in undergrad actually liked healthy food and exercise. I was never one of them, so I get your conversation there!

Way to go!

I don't mind healthy food; in my case, "too much of a good thing." I think the REAL problem was when my s.o. taught me how to cook, and I actually started to get good at it. You don't tend to overeat when things are bland and you're just using them for sustenance, you know? Before we lived together, gourmet meals were made by Chef Boyardee at my house. :lol:

Exercise...well, I'm still trying to wrap my head around that one. I don't hate yoga, and I don't hate walking, so that's where we're at.

So, Enterprikayak, are you buying another house and moving into it?

No I'm gonna live in our tenants house (they're gone on Friday) and then we'll sell that. and then we're going to buy a nice corrugated cardboard box and set it up all homey in the park and live there. Ahhhh simplicity.

So you won't be living on the side of the mountain anymore?

Good luck with the simplicity thing. (Though preferably not cardboard.)

The last paper has been turned in. I'm done for the academic year! And I even survived accidentally taking two research seminars!
