UK moves up to #14 in the AP rankings. It didn't hurt that 1/3 of the top 25 teams lost last week. Only 8 undefeated teams left. What a great opportunity! I hope they're up for it.

Good morning. Just woke up and I'm not impressed with the day so far. I guess I'll make some coffee and listen to the Jones show. Later...
Morning D-Leaguers. It is 62.6° F here this morning. Rain, rain and a little more rain. Yesterday we got a touch over 1 inch. Ritchie left last night at 6:30 pm and on the way out I dumped the rain gauge. I just took the recyclables out this morning and there is 2 & 1/8 inches in the guage since last night at 6:30 pm. If any of you all see Noah, tell him to head our way.
Rooster, those locomotives are some fine pieces of engineering. Just as I was in the process of retiring I got a tour of one of the 6,000 horsepower AC engine. It was brand spanking new and at that time (2000) they were over $1.25 million.

Headed out for my semi-annual doctor checkup. At 75 they always find something to send you to a couple of specialists. The next few months are spent going to those specialists and getting some kind of treatment. By the time that is over it is time to go back for another semi-annual checkup and the next round of specialists.
I operated many of these fine GE units. They had a great Dynamic brake, And a very comfortable cabMorning D-Leaguers. It is 62.6° F here this morning. Rain, rain and a little more rain.

Welcome to the 75 Club. I know you are like me and are just glad you made it and can still enjoy life. I lost two childhood friends last week. One was 74 and the other 73.
God is good, both had a wonderful life and were ready to go home. Best to you as the specialist poke around on you. My next 6 month appointment is February 2019. I hope to be about 30 pounds lighter by then.
I'm still a couple of weeks short of 75. I'm trying to hang on.
I follow my hometown obituaries. Hardly a month goes by without someone I last saw as a teenager (a classmate or onetime friend) giving up the ghost. I haven't lived in my hometown since 1961 but it is still "home." All my family are buried there. I am the only survivor.

I stopped doing that a few years ago. It did not make me happy. I still touch base with 3 guys that I played football with.

Today is one of the best days of the year on the Florida Gulf Coast. It is the opening of stone crab season. Stone crabs are a special gift from heaven. When you crab for them you can only take one claw and then you throw the crab back in the water. The crab will regrow the claw. With one claw he can still feed himself but if you take both he can not.
^^^^^looks a lot better than my leftovers^^^^^

I’ll take 50 lbs please.
Uncertainty abounds as stone crab season begins
Sounds like he says "Asian" every time.
Took a trip out in the rain and now I'm going to bake some bread and do the dishes. In that order.
Making Philly cheesesteak sammiches for dinner tonight and this time I get to have mine on bread. Using a different recipe this time because it's a different type of bread. I assume it will turn out as good though. I weigh my ingredients when I bake for consistent results.

I just tried to make sure I got the majority of my calories from fat at the beginning with little to no carbs most days. I was doing something else to speed up the weight loss and didn't even know it really. Intermittent fasting. I wasn't eating breakfast and sometimes didn't eat until late afternoon. That may have been the only meal of the day until the next day late afternoon. That's when I had plenty of fat to burn I guess because I wasn't really hungry.
Read about the fasting part. If you can break it into a 16/8 regimen it will speed up your losses. or 20/4 would probably be quicker. That way you have a 4 to 8 hour window when you eat and the rest of the time you don't. Since about 8 hours of that time should be spent sleeping, or trying to sleep, it makes it that much easier. Of course, you can't overeat during your munching hours. Calories still count as with any diet.
To answer your question, it was a little of both. I had good success with the Atkins plan before for short term weight loss in the past. I've also had good luck with limiting myself to 1000 calories/day regardless of what I ate. I used to diet when I was on a job and then cut loose when I was home without a care. Now I'm home all the time so I need to make an adjustment.
You should talk to your doctor though and tell him what you intend to do. For some people it might not be a good idea to put yourself into ketosis.
I also went dieting about the same time as ymmot and have lost 27 lbs. I'm 5'9" down to 175 from 202. My diet wasn't really a plan. I just cut out the sodas, i.e. the sugar based refreshments. The result was loss of approx. 4 or 5 lbs/week and a higher consumption of Arrowhead Spring Water. The weight loss slowed significantly as I approached 175 lbs level and the fat melted away. My back quit hurting and now my clothes are baggy. Go Big Blue.

Way to go! We should have entered the D league into a contest. You're proof that you don't have to make drastic changes to your life to lose weight. You just have to stick with it awhile.
I am for a contest.
I currently weigh 350 pounds. I will bet that I can get down below 200 pounds in six months!
All this talk about weight loss is making me hungry.

We in this D-League outfit are strange birds. We talk about weight loss and plans then we post picture after picture of some of the best looking food one can drool over. I plead guilty.All this talk about weight loss is making me hungry.
To balance this we should post a few pictures of celery stalks, cucumber slices and dried up kale.
Update on the rain in Smiths Grove.
In the last 24 hours we have had 2 & 7/8 inches. On top of the 1 & 1/8 in my guage last night at 6:30 pm tha tis a whopping 4 inches in 48 hours. WOW!
Palm Springs, CA averages less than 3 inches a year.

Yeah but Palm Springs has other things that you don't have in Smiths Grove.
Good evening league. I haven’t been on much lately. Been real busy with work and my sons ball games. Hope your all doing good.
Hey Murph! Glad you could stop by. Don't be a stranger.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 47°F and raining. Cold rain, in fact. Still beautiful. just cold. We're experiencing flooding in certain areas. Between Sunday afternoon and Monday morning, local temperatures dropped 45°F. Air conditioner hasn't kicked on since Sunday night. Loving it.
Looking forward to a great game this coming Saturday. Go Cats!
Y'all behave.

* Good morning D-League
* Current temperature 72 with a high of 90. Weather girl said don't get out your long sleeve shirts just yet.
* Chance of rain is less than 20 per cent.
*I have about 150 lbs of magnesium to work into my citrus and palm trees. Better get on it and have it done before high noon.
*Well I got the word on the news Sears and Roebuck is calling it quits. Billions of dollars in debt and chances to turn it around nil. Sears was like the Walmart of today. Growing up in the 40's and 50's the arrival of the Sears catalog was a highlight of the entire year. Pages and pages of everything under the sun. You buy a home kit and assemble your own house. Cost about $2,000 bucks. These houses were everywhere and you can still find them in the smaller towns and cities. One of my uncles bought one after WWII and we all helped him put it together. I think it still stands. You could also buy a car or a motorcycle plus every other household good and personal items known to man.
* It is a little sad to see it go but the only thing I bought there in the last 25 years were some Craftsman tools.
*Have a safe and enjoyable day and if you are ailing we are praying for your recovery.

56°➫ 67°F Partly cloudy, cool.
Good news, it's NOT Monday.
Mother nature is getting you ready for your Kentucky trip.
It is 46° F here and soaking wet.
Same with me. About five years ago Sears actually replaced one of my Craftsman ratchets. Also a lot of folks loved the Craftsman lawn mowers.
