Spent today up at the house trying to get the 65 sold and it seems I have a deal in place. We'll close it out next weekend when the timing works out better but he likes the car and is giving me what I'm asking for it. I'm not really disappointed about giving up the car, more that I'm disappointed at being in a situation where I don't see a point to having the car anymore. I don't have the time, the budget or really a place to keep multiple projects. It's been depressing letting go of my toys to always "do the right thing" in the name of responsibility.

I hopped on a scale today too. It's the first time in a long time I've done that. I've always battled with myself about weight and moving didn't help with the loss of hockey and hobbies I was trending the wrong direction. There was a point where my belt buckle was starting to dig into my gut enough to be painful so I had to decide to either get a new buckle or bigger belt, and just let things keep trending that way. Rather than give in I decided to make changes. I dropped soda as a mainstay (although I had switched to diet for a while) eventually realizing there's just no value in it. I'd been good about doing salads each day but was being bad about "padding" them with a ton of bread to be full. So the bread was the next thing to go. Now since the start of the year I've given up fast food. That's been a hard one because face it, I was hitting Popeye's and Carl's Jr once a week with regularity. I just had a moment where I realized how bad it tastes and how little value it has, so that's been the next big step. Anyway when I was fighting my buckle I'm pretty sure I was close to 260 pounds as I'd stopped paying attention after 250 since it was depressing. Today when I looked I was down to 220. I can't -ever- remember being under 230, not even through high school, so this is.. just damn weird for me. Anyway it's just part of my effort to earn all the rubber and gear I've got. ;)

Now, along those lines, it seems the last part of my pony gear is finished. Once again Fury comes through with some of the most epically awesome gear a pony could hope for. I can't wait until it gets here so I can get more fun pics for folks to gawk at. Behold harnessy goodness!
