I started daily blogging here in September of 2003. I was keenly interested in seeing what other folks were blogging about. During the very first week, I linked to
Ass Be Gone as an example of what things could be done with this media. At that time, there were smartly written entries by two sisters who were having a sibling weight-loss competition. I don't know what the outcome eventually was as it appears as if the site was restarted and then abandoned again.
I've been quietly and unobtrusively adding snippets about my work-in-progress transformation. My very first complaint about my weight occurred in a September 2006 entry which I called,
Back to the Future. During vacation the small Sri Lankan bus seats forced me to think seriously about doing something about my expanded girth. In April of this year, I mentioned
Having Far to Go, and in June, I suggested that
Sometimes Less is Better.

Suddenly, it's the middle of November and I've not said much of late. Therefore, it's a perfect time to brag about buying new
Wranglers today. It's not about the 'brand-name-dropping' as I only paid $15 for 'em. I'd like to make public that I bought them with a size-36 waist! Okay, they're a tiny bit tight, but they'll give me a real, continued incentive to lose one kilogram (2.2 lbs) a month right through 2008. I stand to reach my ultimate goal of 80 kilos sometime near
next Christmas!
