RR, welcome aboard. I wouldn't mind being in SoCal right now.
Vicki, keep in mind that the is just the drainage for the yard. I'm really just diverting the water as it comes off the roof to a "ditch" on the side. All in all I only have about $250 in parts. The ideal way would have been to use schedule 40 PVC pipe. I didn't have the extra coin to go that route.

Mike, what's with the water? It BORES my mouth. Have you just gotten used to it? I drink lots of fluid all day, just coffee, lemon water, fruit juice with water, and wine.

Mike, you say you're goal is to finish the week below 200 lbs but your stats below show 174. You back up?

Exercise walk - run 20 min. X2 per week to start: X1
Drink more water start with 4 glasses per day: When the weather warms up
Weigh in on Monday and Friday: Yes
Welcome Ridge Runner. I am interested to know how you lost weight. Are you a runner? I would like to try couch to five K but I need to lose some more weight first. Best of luck to you.

RR, unfortunately I gained back just about everything I lost. I stayed in the 170's-180's for a few years, then the weight crept back. I weighed in yesterday and I was at 202. A few weeks ago I was down to 198. I felt and in my opinion look my best when I was 178 (which was nearly 6 years ago). I need to really focus on what I put in my mouth. Which BTW, water is my go to drink.
The sad part is that I was close to having a 6pk, now I'm back to having a keg.

It's Saturday and I'm still at it. I've been productive, even though it's rained all day. I'm working on same pallet projects. Painting a pallet flag that I'll be donating to be a filmed off. I guess I can count this as relaxing as well.
I've been slacking on water but there's still enough time to pull it off.
How is everyone else doing?

Woe Woe Woe... I understand the sadness of gaining it back Mike...2 down and you can be below 200 ! I've crept up a little farther. My new motto of the day,
"Do only that which supports your goal" so far so good today. (Yesterday was my daughter's birthday celebration so not so well.) Today is a new day and a new month.
