I can’t believe it, but for some reason, Allyssa has really developed a craving for green peppers. This past weekend at the two breakfast buffets we went to, she gobbled up more green pepper than I could. Since then every time I open the refrigerator she grabs the bowl with the green pepper and won’t let me put it away without giving her a piece!

I guess it could be worse, I mean, she is always putting rocks and leaves in her mouth. If she wants to eat green pepper then I will let her. Besides, it’s healthier than a cracker, isn’t it?

Those of you who know me know that I need to lose weight, a lot of it. So this past weekend I started a new weight loss program, the Extreme Regime. It’s designed to burn fat and detox the body and help you lose weight quickly. Well, maybe not quickly, but lose it nonetheless. I am currently weighing in at a hefty 245 pounds, and my goal with this regime is to get myself down below 200 by the end of the year.

I’ll keep you update to date here, but will share most of my progress and research on my new blog, Down to 200. I am sure that I will start to lose some of the excess baggage, but more importantly I am going to learn how to eat better and maintain that weight. This will be some time in the works of course, but if it works for me, I’ll put you all in touch with the wonderful Dr. Heidi who can help you as well! I’ll start this off with my before picture – and no, I am not showing my hideous overgrown belly. Enjoy.

Ok, yes, I know it has been a long time since our last post – what, like 4 months now? Well, I don’t see your blog so what have you to complain about? At least we try!

Today I moved the entire blog back to Blogger because WordPress wouldn’t let me track how many of you are actually reading this blog. With this move I have made the site more friendly and updated the look. I hope you like it.

Now, how did I find time to do this? Simple! I left my job to go back into freelance work. TravelNet was working me to death and I just couldn’t do it any more. A lucrative project came up that will keep me busy for a few months at least, and I had to take it. So now I get to sit at home again and just have fun – when I am not working. My last day was August 28th, just before Labor Day weekend.

So, now that I am not so burned out every evening, perhaps I will find time to update this blog more often. And just so you don’t forget what she looks like, here’s a picture of Allyssa with my Dad and Roseanne at Steve’s Wedding Vow Renewal back in June.
