(Day 495 / -159 lbs.) I Didn't Disappear, I Just Shrank A Little

"Hey Steve, where've you been?"

Indeed. Where have I been? Just a little side trip to distraction-land, that's where. It's a confusing place full of shiny and pointy things, squirrels, projects, family, chores, and bric-a-brac. It can be a consuming slice of life where the rides alternately thrill or suck and always, always, lead from where you should be to places you sometimes cannot completely return from. Always a good time though.

Onward and upward...

Cool thing is that I've been consistently exercising. Eating's been a little inconsistent but it's taken the scale down a few pounds. I feel good about it- though a little mystified. It's not like I've regained my youthful metabolism or become unconsciously competent at weight loss. I think I'll chalk it up to "fluke" and get my trolley back on the tracks and heading for the station.

I've got a camping trip coming up this weekend. It's the last one of the year so I'm pretty jazzed. It's also a guys-only trip so I'll be letting my inner heathen out to play a little. I'm looking forward to a little R&R and a chance to implement all the menu ideas so many of you have offered.

I'm also in the midst of switching this site over to a little more manageable format. The last year or so had me playing with whatever crossed my path blog-wize. I've been having a lot of fun with it so far but want to focus a little more on the weight loss journey than all the widgets and what-nots I've scattered throughout the site. Hopefully it will all make sense as the little changes come through.
