New goal… Lets do this…

Last month I decided to start a mini-year resolution – no more (flavored) sodas for the rest of the year.

So far so good. Only tea, water, coffee and carbonated water for me… And maybe an occasional fruit drink.

Today I decided I’m upping the resolution. 50 pound weight loss by Dec 31.

Sounds daunting but when you break it down I’m gonna be upset if I don’t hit the goal.

8 lbs a month – 2 lbs a week – now till Dec 31?

We got this.

Early Father’s Day gift

My mom gave me my granddads old lighter for Father’s Day. This will be a true treasure.

His initials are on the front of the Whirlwind Ronson lighter.

My grandmother gave him this lighter on their wedding day. He quit smoking a short time later after they were married.
