Day 24: 2

I can't believe it!  I'm can see the light at the end of the tunnel!  Two more days and I will have completed the detox.  Wow!  It seems like it was just a few days ago when I started.  My how time flies when you are not having salt.

I've decided to linger a while longer on this end tail.  I want to get all my ducks in a row to start with the healthy eating and that can best be done on Sunday.  I can make out a menu for the week (all three meals), go grocery shopping, and then get everything ready.  It doesn't hurt that Monday is a holiday, either.

Ah.  A three day weekend.  I'm really looking forward to that.  I haven't been really busy customer-wise at work, at least nothing I can't handle on my own.  However, today I really busted my hump with other work.  Quite a bit came in on the e-mail in the way of traffic control plans to be processed.  Encroachment permits to charge to escrow accounts and print up so they would be ready for the entities to pick them up.  Encroachment letters to be typed.  Punch letter drafts to be typed and proofed punch letters to be put on letter head for signature and mailing.  Not to mention the deposit first thing in the morning.  All in all, the day went rather quickly.  I'm grateful for that.

I'm almost through the second week of solitary, but I figure that if the detox went by this quickly, so will the next month.  Plus, I will have saved up some vacation time.  Need to do that so I'll have plenty of time off at around Thanksgiving.  I'll be able to use my birthday holiday for Thanksgiving, as well.  My birthday falls on a Sunday, so I'll just wait till the next week.

Not much else to report.  I will do another weigh and measure on Friday morning (if I'm not running late) as I will be officially done with the detox.  After that, well, probably once a week or once every other week.  It's not good to weigh every day.  If you don't see any weight loss for a while, you can become discouraged and give up and I don't want to do that.  I'd like to be down 40 or 50 pounds by Thanksgiving.

I'm calling it a day, Constant Reader, so I'll bid you goodnight and sweet dreams.  May flights of angels sing you to your rest.

Tally ho!
