Here comes Katrina


Or maybe I should say there GOES Katrina. That is one monster of a storm. I hope and pray that everyone is taking this seriously and are evacuating the gulf coast regions where it is going to hit. I am so thankful it is not going to hit the Carolinas but on the other hand I do feel for the people that are going to experience damage to property and being displace dout of their homes for however long. Lets hope that folks have enough good sense to get out of the way of this storm and there is not any needless loss of life.

On August 22nd I blogged about the picture that my wife took of me at the Royal Z Bowling alley and how I did not like the way I looked. I vowed to do something about it and to motivate myself to make some changes. Thus far, as of this day I have been committed to that end. I started using Lifeclinic on the web and my pocket pc diet organizer program to track my calories and I have been getting on my elliptical trainer every other day running between 30 and 40 min at a time. To this date I have lost 13 lbs which has been a HUGE accomplishment. This shows me that I can DO IT. So, with that in mind I KNOW that I KNOW that I can do it and I know what it takes. It takes self dicipline and will power to DO what I know I must do or not do. I have a long way to go but atleast I have a goal and now I know that I can reach that goal one day and one step at a time.

Katy survived her first week at school and has been working hard on her lesson plans and long range plans that she has to turn in to the principal every Monday morning. Last week Katy spent the entire weekend putting together lesson plans so this weekend she did not have to spend as much time on it. PTL for that.

At church today our Drama Team performed a drama called "Breaking Loose" and they did a very good job if you ask me. I was able to clean the heads on my video recorder early this morning around 1 am and managed to get the video camera to start taping again so I got the whole event on tape.
