Well, Becky's parents came into town last night from El Paso.  I worked most of the day today and we all ate at P.F. Chang's, one of my very favorite restaurants.  It seemed a little silly to have a P.F. Chang's feast the day before Thanksgiving, but it was delicious anyway.

We just watched the first half of the special edition of “The Two Towers”.  All the new footage is great.  It really fills it in nicely.

Tommorow's the big day, all my practicing will come together, and we should have a great fried turkey.  I got it all marinated this afternoon, so we're all set.  Half cajun creole and garlic flavored, and the other half hot & spicy.

Since we're on the subject of eating, I'd like to reveal to everyone that I've been working hard and have lost almost 30 pounds in the last several months.  Really it's about 27, but 30 sounds better.  For the first time since college I weigh 200 pounds.  The best part is it's a lifestyle change that should be simple to keep.  I mainly realized that I was eating for about 6 people.  It all started when we had a health screening at work, and my cholesterol was high.  Since I was going to have to adjust my diet anyway to avoid cholesterol, I thought I might as well kill two birds with one stone, and not eat them both for once.

My ultimate target is somewhere between 190 and 200, but with alot more muscle than I've got going on right now, so I plan on heading toward 190, and stepping up the exercise.  Becky's lost alot as well, and we both are feeling very good.  Mom and Dad are losing weight as well, and I'm very proud of them for that.  We'll be seeing them tomorrow, along with Andrew.  Poor Sara has to work.  Jeff, I'll be sure to get his email address.

Anyway, hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!  I'll probably use the extra time to get up some pictures I've been promising.
