Eleven

Today's day eleven and I haven't cheated yet. I feel a renewed sense of confidence and willpower. And I'm down to 187 lbs; the last two months I was wavering between 192 and 196. It feels kind of easy, honestly. It's coming with the same sense of simple, motivated purpose that I had when I quit smoking.
I know it requires a lifestyle change, and that's going to come at the end of this; I'll eat junk and drink alcohol, but in real moderation, and I'll exercise, but with an easier schedule. Plenty of days I don't want to go in to exercise. I usually don't even start until 10 or 11pm. But despite that I go in, do my weights, run three miles, take a shower, make myself some tea, and go to bed. And that sort of discipline feels good.
One of the hardest parts is quitting alcohol but now that everybody has already realized I'm not going to drink for a while it's a lot easier because the initial scoffing is over with for the most part.
This week we moved LuckyOliver over to a new database server which made it much faster. We also greatly improved the search results. Yesterday was a new record transaction day. Slow and steady. Just need to keep at this and it could happen.
Today I'm going to SLO to see my mom and sister.
Marc got a new cat. It's a black cat and likes to break things and scurry around. It has no name yet.
Since it seems everybody is kind of taking a hiatus from WoW I specced my druid feral and am just doing quests and killing people solo pretty much when I do play. I actually had a really good time playing for a couple hours today just questing.
