Haven't been here for awhile. Daughter is posting on her blog about weight and training results, so thought I would too.

Started a weight loss program due to high blood sugar and a suggestion from the doc to try to get my blood sugar stabilized. Started the South Beach Diet in October and have lost 21 lbs so far and gotten my blood sugar down by 13 pts, to where it is close to my goal. Happy with results, though I must give a caveat: my scale is undependable, so the actual loss may not be accurate. I'm not trying to fudge. But my scale sucks.

Melanie's defense of her thesis! June 24, 2009

Melanie just passed the defense of her thesis!! : )

A taste of what's to come....

This is sort of what it will look like. Slowly, but surely, we are getting there.

My farm on Farm Town

The view from the bedroom....

Melanie, this is the view now from your room!

Here is our latest pic. The new steps and walls are finished, more or less, and only the landscaping needs doing.

The "Wizard of Chem E!"

If you compare this redone step area, to the former set, the line is smoother. The sloping is uniform going up to the top cement landing. I am pleased. : )
