We know we have hit the big time now. Our buddy Troy sent us an image of his email. I am sharing it with you here. Please not that Betty Blonde is just over Dilbert in the hierarchy! Quite exciting, don’t you think, to be rubbing shoulders with such greatness? I would think that is worthy of a “woo-hoo!” I kind of blew it on the mailing this morning by sending an email that was not properly encoded to display the image, so I had to send out a second. I hope you will all forgive me for that. I am just getting the hang of using the email list manager.
Lorena and I have been doing some talking and some introspecting about what we are going to do over the next few years. It has been very good for us. I really love my work here in North Carolina. I have always loved my work, but I do not know if I have ever either contributed as much or enjoyed my role more than in my current position. The really neat part about it is that they product we are making not only is groundbreaking, but it will have a positive impact on society by preventing problems from occur far more often than they should today. Still, we miss family and friends in other places and the kids will be needing to go to college before too long, maybe in someplace other than North Carolina. God has his hand in all of this. We think there is a way we can meet all of those needs that is both fun and exciting.

Congratulations on sticking to it Ken!
The down side of losing weight slowly can be discouragement, but you have stuck to it. Probably one of the reasons that losing weight slowly may be more successful is that it requires a life style change, mainly in eathing habits.
Your graphing of our progress has been made us accountable, and that has been critical to helping me for sure!
Water skiing this summer has been SO FUN! It’s like I’ve thrown off a bag of cement!
Keep it up! Keep it off! Keep the Graph!

yeah… eathing habits. lol EATING! I think eathing is when you eat anything.
Dad
Thanks Bryan. It feels very, very good to be half way there. This is one bet I am going to love paying off! I have some skiing pictures of the new Bryan to post as soon as he hits his number! Hey, our plan is still to keep graphing after we hit the weight, right?
Bryan
ABSOLUTLEY!! The weight loss is all for not if we don’t maintain it!
Transition and maintenance is the next phase of the program.
Dad
Well, I have three or four months before I get to that. The funny deal is that I am really enjoying the way I am eating right now. It just takes a little discipline at the end of the day to keep headed south on the weight. I am wondering what is going to happen if I just keep eating like this. I suppose I will stabilize at a good weight.
