It's still dark outside in metro Moncton. I just weighed in at 239 pounds and my BP is 136/82. Last night I loaded up the mp3 player and went for a good hike. Later I got my arse kicked by Jay Spook at crib again. I'm in a happy mood. My cupboards, fridge, and freezer are all full. I have lots of beer stashed away should I step off the wagon for a sip or two. Yesterday we made chili, chicken stirfry, and broccoli salad in cooking class. I ate 5 cups of the salad when I got home. Wowsers, was it ever good! I'm off for some breakfast. BTW....It's only 4 months til Christmas. Don't say I didn't warn you.
