24 April 2007, Well, a very busy day for me. BG Deering from the 45th Infantry Bde in Oklahoma came for a visit and as the acting OPS NCO I was running out in front of them to make sure the next item on the agenda was in order. It's 2000 hrs now, and things are over. A good day all in all.
We had our official weigh-in this morning and I was at 232 and 23.5% body fat. Yes, it's still too much, but at least I'm well under the maximum of 26% allowed for an old fart. I have heard that taking weight off slower is the best way as it tends to stay off at a better success rate than quickly lost weight. Well, it's been slow alright, but at least it's coming off. No walking for me over the last two days. Probably be back on it tomorrow, we will see.
I realized this evening after dinner, that I've had spaghetti for three meals in the last two days. I like spaghetti, but by tonight I was getting tired of it. It might be time to head back over to Subway tomorrow, and I still have my hamburger helper.
The local police and government agencies found and disarmed a vehicle borne IED yesterday on a major route. They are getting much better at this and as I mentioned, the local population is finally starting to contact the authorities when they feel something isn't right. Certainly a positive note and shows we are going in the right direction.
I'll sign off for now. Be safe and have a great day.
