Well, I was able to tightened up my belt one further notch this morning, so that's another inch or so off the waistline. Nice to have some validation that the lifestyle change is continuing to have a positive effect.
The outside is coming along well, now it's (past) time to start paying better attention to the inside and clean up the complete and total mess that's become in recent months. Same old dusty pictures are hanging on the wall, casting the same long shadows and hiding those same old cracks. Time to appreciate an empty wall for a time.
