Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
msbelle, IME, low-carb is the way to go. But I know low-carb isn't for everyone, so I don't want to seem like I'm "pushing" it. I can't do the really strict under-25-grams-a-day anymore, but keeping carbs to 100 grams a day or less is totally do-able for me. The belly fat, I think, comes from insulin resistance plus too much sugar. How much sugar and/or bread is too much, YMWV. For me, no bread and very little sugar. But that's enough for me to lose 3-5 pounds a week with a little exercise. The last couple weeks of March, I lost 11 pounds. Then my period happened and I fell into a bowl of corn chips and had trouble getting out again. Back on track as of today. I want to lose a hundred pounds, and I'm going to do it by November, or damn close.

Stronger ab muscles means the fat sits better -- looking rounded instead of slack.
Speaking of exercise, has anyone ever dealt with an organization called Team in Training from the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society? They help you train (and fund-raise) for a marathon or hike. Sounds useful as a commitment device, anyway.

They work with a few charities - I did the Marine Corp Marathon training with them about 10 years ago for t memfault some AIDS organization. Legit, and pretty well known/organized.

They're everywhere in the exercise world. My brother did a stint with them when he was training for some mini-triathlons, liked them well enough.

Recently I mentioned that I had been tasked to mentor a fellow project controls person, who I then discovered is a few grade levels above me. Yesterday we had a call with all the project people and I was asked to continue to oversee his work. Today, he called my boss and asked to have those projects shifted away from him, he was too busy to deal with them. Guess who has now been asked to take them on. Oh, boy. I get to call the guy now and work out a transition process.
And now I'm being a chicken about calling him.

I briefed the Big Boss yesterday prior to him going to a meeting today with the head of another organization. And now I'm completely stressing out that I gave him bad information, that he's going to be embarrassed during the meeting, and I'm going to lose my job.
I don't think the advice I gave was bad, and the lawyer was there and the Big Boss took his advice, but I did forget about some minor complicating issues that the other folks might raise.
ARGH.
Someone tell me it'll all be okay?
