I've now lost 10lbs.

I'm down 20lbs and one size in jeans. The past few days I have been rather sick and today I started on antibiotics. There is a cold going around and I appear to have caught it.

I've now lost a total of 25lbs. I'm happy with the weight loss, but I still have another 25lbs to go. So I'm not satisfied or jumping up and down. It is amazing that I allowed myself to gain so much weight over the years.

Plenty is happening in my personal life so I'll share a little here. Some days I think it is best to keep my personal stuff off BookTalk, but life is short and who really gives a darn.

I'm getting married next weekend!

Only a few members knew this, so now the cat is out of the bag. My fiance and I have been together for about two and a half years, but we've been friends for close to 10 years. We're an awesome couple and I feel pretty damn lucky, to be honest.

Our wedding is next Sunday and the honeymoon is March 11th through the 18th. We're doing a week-long cruise of the Caribbean leaving the port of Miami. Our first stop is San Juan, Puerto Rico, then Antigua, St. Thomas, Great Stirrup Cay, and then back to Miami. Neither of us have done a cruise so we're pretty excited about this. Our cabin has a balcony so we'll get to see the ocean 11 stories below us the entire week. This seems like money well spent. Having an interior cabin just wouldn't be the same for a honeymoon.

Maybe I'll post some pictures here when we've returned. Then again I've never liked having my picture taken. In fact I'm dreading being the center of attention for the wedding, but everyone assures me that she'll be the focus. Nobody cares what the groom looks like. It is all about the bride. And fortunately, my bride isn't a Bridezilla. Do you watch that show?

Oh, and I'm sick again. What is up with this illness crap. Back in mid December I got sick and now I'm coughing up a lung again. Compared to most people I know I eat well and exercise regularly. I do spend quite a bit of time at the VA hospital with my father, so maybe I'm catching these colds from the sick people there. But...my father isn't getting sick, so this theory is lame.

Speaking of my father he stepped up and contributed $250 to BookTalk a few weeks ago. This money is going towards Search Engine Optimization. I've hired an expert and am working with him to clean up the code and get better rankings for our site. This will be a slow process - especially since all of my free time is going towards preparing for this wedding.

I guess that's about it for now. I just took some Nyquil and am starting to feel sleepy. I'd like to read some more of The God Delusion before I fall asleep.
