Completely ran out of steam at work today.  Last hour or so just sat in front
of my monitor, just watching the day tick by.  I worry that this is a side
effect of packing in my lunch the last two days.  Since I really don't cook
all that much, my packed in lunch is typically a ham sandwich on wheat with
either some carrots or another ham sandwich.  Low on calories, but I sure feel
myself get sluggish by 4pm now.  May need to get something to go with, as my
body just isn't happy with that calorie count.  Oddly enough, if I were to go
and move around, I'm fine.  It is when I stop and try to focus that I feel it
the most.

Forgot to mention the last few posts that the corn has already tassled out a
week ago.  Heck, it was taller than me on the 4th of July.  Just a good year
so far for the corn crop.  We'll see if we can keep the timely rains with all
of the heat we've been getting.  And we are already having the locust sing the
past week or 2.  Starting to be very noticeable at night now.  Ah, the dog
days of summer are here.

So I've had my parents and others ask how much more weight I'm planning on
losing.  I figure around another 15 pounds now.  I puttered with the BMI
calculator online, and according to that, 159 is a good number to shoot for. 
That would put me down by  45 pounds overall.  So, looks like at least another
2 months, maybe 3 till I get to my goal.  So far, so good, as I'm 2/3 of the
way there now.  Like everyone else, I'm impatient, and would love to lose it
sooner than later.  However, I'm realistic, and know that I just need to stick
to what is working for me and just let time take its course.    So I guess,
expect several more entries with me talking about my weigh-ins and such. 
Boring for the reader I'm sure, but think of it as a way for me to document my
progress.  So, bear with me.  It seems a bit narcissic, but really, who am I
doing it for if not for myself?  Tonight's blog entry brought to you by
