Have you ever looked at a gravestone? On it you will find the date a person was born - and the date that person died. In between is a dash. This small symbol signifies a persons whole existence. When it comes time for my dash to be chipped in, I want to know I lived a full and wondrous life.

One down - one to go

Well, that wasn't too hard, except it felt like days gone past with a fair bit of hunger. I stuck to the shakes, drank gallons of iced water (it was a hot, hot day - in the high 30's) and ate a meal of chicken, salad, half a small potato with a dollop of lite sour cream for dinner and overnight dropped one of the two kilos I had gained.

Let's hope the next kilo whittles away quickly, too. That would be magic.

Hope you all have a lovely Thursday. I am off to make my breakfast protein shake :) Work today, and work tomorrow, which is a shame 'cos tomorrow is my birthday. Both whoo and whaa. Whoo, well, cos it's my birthday and whaa cos I hit the mid-way point in my forties. Gawd, how did I get here so fast?
