Since my last post "Flying Cuckoo," my nights have been spent exercising.

For those of you who don't know, we at "The Huntsville Times" are on a mission to lose weight.

Like "The Biggest Loser" and "Slim Down Alabama" we're getting fit. We've been challenged by our boss Bob Ludwig to lose nine pounds in nine weeks.

People around the office are actually taking this serious. There's talk people have lost five, six, even seven pounds in the past two weeks.

I haven't lost that much, but I'm trying.

Things I've given up:

1. Beer (for the most part)
2. Fried things
3. Bread (switched to wraps)
4. Ice Cream
5. Anything I know I'll need three miles on the treadmill to work off

Thing's I've started eating:

1. Fruit
2. Lots of yogurt
3. Graham Crackers
4. Chicken and rice

Also, I've been running like I'm training for a marathon. So far, I think I've lost about three pounds. I have about seven more weeks, so I should be able to meet my goal.

Can't wait to go pants shopping.

34-inch I come!!!!
