I was pleased this week that the crappy webpage I created for the Columbia Area Darts Association actually generated some results.  I heard from two people, one in Italy and one in Indiana, who are moving to Columbia soon and were happy to discover that they’ll be able to play darts when they arrive.  That was one of the main purposes that drove my purchasing a domain and web hosting service.  I remember how distressed I was when I moved back here and could find absolutely nothing about darts in the capital city.  At least I’ve remedied that sorry state of affairs.

In other news, I’m moving in the right direction weight-wise once again.  Once I had broken through the 50 pound barrier, I got a little bit too excited lazy and suffered weight gains in two successive weeks.  At this stage in my battle with fat I have to fight my body’s inclination to believe it has reached its ideal weight.  Which means I’ve had to kick it up a notch on the treadmill (six days a week) and show more discipline in resisting special treats like Jee Yeun’s smoothies.  Now, I’ve upped my darts to four days a week (Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday), and that does involve a fair amount of walking and standing around.  But I also indulge myself with low carb beer (2.5 grams per bottle). I usually have 4 or 5 of them which pretty much maxes out my target for daily carbohydrate intake.  Maybe that’s a wash, because I’d hate to cut back on “aiming fluid”.

Anyway, this week finds me at 226.5 pounds, down three from last week and 52 pounds overall.  I’m just as excited that I’ve taken another inch off my girth, down to 42″, a 9 1/2 inch reduction since February.

Onward and downward!
