Beyond 100 Pounds - __?__ and a Haircut

I know, I know. What the heck does that mean: __?__ and a Haircut? Well, it means that I am honoring a promise I made to Eileen (and others) that when I hit 100 pounds lost I would shave off my beard. Today I did that, after 32 consecutive years of having one. So I went to Lou, my barber for 40 years and said, "Off with it, Lou." I did not waver a bit, of course with a 4-person cheering section I had no choice. It took 15 minutes and then a few more to remind me how to shave and I am now clean-faced again. Amusingly when I stepped outside I said, "My face is cold!" Duh!


Here are the before, during and after pix:




I feel no different but the consensus is that I look 10 years younger. I'll let you be the judge.


Turkey Day tomorrow at my sister, Linda's. I have already listed my do-s and don't-s, which was mostly don't-s but I have decided to have some salmon dip. She makes it better than anyone and since I had a dream I was enjoying it, I concluded it must be right. (I hope I dream about mashed potatoes tonight)


The weight report shows 102 pounds lost through today. As predicted I have slowed down a little though I am eating less than 1300 calories per day.


Eileen and I celebrated at Le Bernardine in NY and, yes, I brought my  goodie bag with me. Since it is French cuisine the portions were small but no complaint from me; I left stuffed!


Finally, I went for a new pair of jeans yesterday and was pleased and chagrined that I am between sizes and will have to wait 10 more pounds before getting a pair that would fit. I am down from a 55 waist to a 39, which as we all know doesn't exist. For the naysayers among you, I brought a clothing consultant with me (Eileen) who, after making me try on more than a dozen pairs at three different stores, reluctantly concluded that I would need to wait for 38's to fit well. (Any complaints about that may be addressed to her)


Have a good holiday tomorrow, don't eat too much and I will be thinking of you as I eat my broccoli for dessert. (LOL)

    I think that everything composed made a bunch of sense.
    But, what about this? what if you were to create a awesome headline?
    I ain't suggesting your content is not good., but suppose you added a post title to maybe grab people's attention?
    I mean "Beyond 100 Pounds - __?__ and a Haircut" is kinda plain.
    You ought to glance at Yahoo's front page and see how they create post titles to grab people interested. You might try adding a video or a related picture or two to get readers interested about what you've got
    to say. Just my opinion, it could make your posts a little livelier.

    minerals is important because it will help you maintain a healthy lifestyle.
    One mistake that people who want to build muscles quickly but have no information is the lack of information regarding how much they should eat in order to grow muscles.

    Hey! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any problems
    with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up
    losing many months of hard work due to no backup.
    Do you have any solutions to stop hackers?
