Wild Card/Tuesday — 4/10/07

Rocket's Brain Trust asked some time back for me to keep you appraised of my diet and weight loss. I officially touched 20 pounds lost about a week ago. I'd lost 16 pounds by walking. I've lost 4 in the last two weeks by watching my diet. I'm surprised that I've been able to switch over so fast without missing the type of food that I'd been eating.

And then I'll consider dropping back a little on the walking and incorporating light weights a coupla times per week. I'm now 7 pounds shy of a weight I haven't seen since the 1980s when I began lifting weights aggressively. I'll keep you posted. Now, for your Wild Card ...
