DON AND DEBBIES FAT REPORT UPDATE- Well, we are on day 13 and all is well at our house in the losing weight department. We are getting closer to our first goal of 21 days. Twenty one days is when you start knowing your changing your eating habits and accepting it as more normal. 21 days is still a long ways to go and we will concentrate on just one day at a time, baby steps.
We are past the crabby stage and feeling better each day . Deb said she could already see me losing the bloated look and I told Deb last night in bed after a little playful wrestling , she was feeling better, ha,ha, LOL !!
I am getting more energy because in the last week I hand waxed my truck, the Vette , and Deb’s Cadillac. Next week I’ll wax the three tractors. Deb said after that, I can wax her floors, (:<).
Deb’s blood pressure continues to get closer to normal again.
It’s amazing how we feel so good when we eat good, but it is so hard to do. There is no secret pills to take as they suggest on TV, it’s just willpower and common sense. My goal is to lose 30 lbs. and that is very realistic. But for now, it’s just today we need to focus on.
MICHIGAN 675 LOADER LIFT ARMS- This next progress picture shows I have built and installed the four cylinders that raise and lower the loader bucket arms. Next I will go back and work on the bucket. It still gets a tapered cutting edge, and the front row of cutting teeth. It also get the spill guard on top of the bucket. You can slowly see the loader take shape. I am happy so far at the early look of the loader.
PICTURE FROM THE PAST - If you look at the picture below this one, you can see me at the controls of a one horsepower unit.
