Cool Weather

I always think I'd like a temperature change until it happens. Most of the time it's from summer to fall. I do like changing weather; warm to cool, cool to warm, parched to rainy, but not so drastic as we've had this week. And I'm sure it just seems that way because it's the first cool front of the year. I was telling myself that in mid-winter I'll be saying how it's nice and warm when it's only 50 degrees outside. Dragging out the winter wardrobe is always cool too. It's like all new clothes. This year it was especially exciting since I was able to fit some shirts that I had been saving "just in case" I could fit them again sometime. Now I can.

The wetness has been strange this year as well. The grass is still green. By this time, it's usually starting to go dormant. The leaves are just now starting to turn, with only a few leaving the branches. The wind has been true to Oklahoma form this week. As my cousin from Arkansas once said "No use in fixing your hair". It's great to be an Oklahoman. ;)

Diet Phase I Complete

Well, I've made it past the first 12 weeks of the diet. Results:

Lost 10 lbs of weight.
Lost 21.91 lbs of body fat.
Gained 11.91 lbs of lean muscle mass.

Not too bad. I've already started Phase II. Since stock shows are over and we're working towards selling the sheep, my time to spend at the gym is hopefully going to increase. I've gone down a pants size and cleaned out some of the "huge" shirts out of the closet. I'm hoping to reach my goal by my birthday (February 16).
