Silence is Golden...

I stopped snoring.

I know that doesn’t sound like much to you –
but it is very big to me (and to my wife).
I’m not a constant snorer but in the last year, it had become more frequent and it was devastating to me – causing my wife to lovingly flee our bedroom for quieter quarters. She claimed to not mind too much – but it was killing me. So after taking pills and putting strips across my nose to little avail, I was becoming depressed. Now, I find that my weight loss has finally silenced me...

Oh, and I can go longer than before...
longer without huffing, puffing and needing a rest.
I don’t need a nap when I’m done...
I can even bend down without strain, which is helpful, too.
All in all, my wife is very pleased, because now when I walk the dog, the dog comes home exhausted – not me. (You know that’s what I was talking about, right?)

The weight loss is showing real benefits and it continues to inspire me to try for more.

My knee (the one without the meniscus – thanks to arthroscopic surgery... originally I thought it was orthoscopic and they were going down through my mouth!)...
anyway, my knee doesn’t ache

The skin irritation on my calves that showed up from time to time, seems to be gone (or at least away for the summer)

I’m not hungry as often

Not eating out of boredom, I’m getting more done.

I’ve yet to discover the joys of tofu, but I am getting to enjoy all sorts of new beans and pods...

I do find that with the weight loss becoming evident in my face, I need to trim my beard more often... but I can live with that.

Now, my pants don’t fit... and I have no ass
(excuse me for being crude... if this offends you, assume that I lack an equine best suited for carrying cargo).
Back to my pants and lack of posterior definition... I’ve never had any luck – I’m a 48 old anglo-saxon – not a big surprise. I did notice in the paper the other day, that they are now selling bootie panties for women, with added padding so that even Olive Oyle can look like Beyoncé... I wonder if there’s a man’s product on the horizon?? It would solve both of my problems at once... just imagine!

Okay, don’t.

Let’s just go back to the fact that I’m no longer snoring and be happy with that.
I know that I am.
