Looking good Rob. You should go out there and treat yourself to some new clothes for sure. 
I googled Karl Lagerfeld and I found this article about his weight loss fascinating:
Karl Lagerfeld lost 92 pounds using a diet he called a "sort of punishment"
They are critical of the diet book he co-wrote for the most part, but I did like this one bit:
“You are a general and you have a single soldier in your army. You must give him instructions and he must carry them out. It may annoy him but he has no choice.”

You and the shirt both look fantastic! Okay, the fish are swimming through a slightly choppy sea - but what brilliant colours!
And down a pound - oh, my friend, what a rollicking ride you've had this past year! And yes, yes! about the new shirt - a trip to Hawaii to get it, maybe?

It was a good day, I ate well and feel good.
In 994 (and 993) a massive solar storm occurred resulting in a carbon 14 spike that can be found in tree rings. Best I could find.
Got a kick out of that! I can see your point, those mustache hairs do look a little odd. Took the picture very early this morning, and did not look at it before posting. I know I can do a better smile than that.
LaMa, you are going to have to try a lot harder if you want to make me feel bad! You have posted some pictures in your avatar, briefly but I remember them; you are a very pretty young lady. I suspect part of the reason you don't post more is confidentiality, in your job you meet the public, I really don't. I have always hated being in pictures, now I am enjoying not feeling so much like I need to hide. And I just figured out how to do a "selfie" for the forum a month or so back, have to use my new found skill.
Just ordered one, so far as I can tell no one in Utah sells Hawaiian shirts, cowboy shirts are more the thing here.
Thanks Amy, you can post stuff like that on my diary anytime! Even if you don't mean it.

Just kidding I do appreciate it, thanks Amy.
That's so interesting! I wonder why it should produce a spike. Maybe because so many trees started rotting at once and since there's a difference in the c14 fraction between land-sourced and water-sourced carbon the balance could be thrown off? I need to look that up because I can't remember the details.

with Em, Rob. Get yourself a cowboy shirt too Petal is absolutely right!!
(I'm going to have to skedaddle too!)And I like your new Hawaiian shirt - and I agree with Emily and Cate as well - why not a cowboy shirt as well as the Hawaiian collection?

It was a good day, I ate well, feel good and am happy.
Went to the gym by my house today to see what I might get out of it. I have not been in a gym since high school. The trainer I met with impressed me, I am usually a bit intimidated by the young ultra-fit people I see working in those places, but she was a grandmother and has had weight problems herself. She is trim and fit today. Put me at ease right away. I may give it a try.
I have been doing better on the protein, but calories are down a little, I didn't feel very hungry today.
It was in 968 that Viking expansion was halted in Ireland when the forces of the Dál gCais (The Dalcassians in English) defeated the Vikings at Limerick. The Dál gCais tribe became quite powerful within Ireland and its descendants include, Marshal Patrice de Mac-Mahon, President of France from 1875 to 1879, as well as US Presidents Kennedy and Reagan.

Thank you Liza, and I am. Its always better to be happy.
I think the increased solar radiation increases the atmospheric C-14, which then gets incorporated into the wood. I have done a little C-14 work, but not with trees or based on solar radiation, so I could be wrong.
Thanks Petal, but even if I could keep up the rate of weight loss I am still far above you, and months from catching up. On the other hand if I can inspire anyone to do something that will make them healthier and/or happier, look out here I come! Get on with the skedaddling! Once my weight stabilizes I may see if some of the saved Hawaiians can be taken in, never had that done to a shirt. I'm thinking some of the larger ones might make good tents, just need a little waterproofing.
Thanks TM, that is a great quote, I think it fits what I know of your approach to life, a good one.
Hmmm, I did have one once maybe again one day. I think cowboy shirts are best worn tight by slim folks so I may wait and see. I already got the hat to go with it.
Ok, I will think about it. Never pictured myself as the cowboy type. Looks like Amy is pushing too.
Ok, shoo get out of my way girl!! You might get run over. Threatening enough?Petal is absolutely right!!

I just realized I had my eyes shut while reading. In my head this was about massive terrestrial storms
Also what Liza said.

That’s great that you hit it off with the trainer Rob. Gotta say I don’t like the gym. I used to go a lot but I get bored very easily.
Hope you give it a go; just don’t get locked into contracts. The negative thoughts that go along with the contracts I’m sure turn people off going to the gym.
I’ve got a few gyms near me and although they have frosted windows you can kinda see in. I always giggle when I see people riding the stationary bikes in the gym. Particularly because they’ll no doubt have driven less than 10kms to get there, driven around the car park to find the closest possible park and then wasted their hard earned paying to use someone else’s exercise bike (different one your winter months etc where there’s snow and ice on the roads of course).
