I’m (well, I WAS yesterday, after a late night/early birthday celebration of donuts and chocolate chip cookies, I’m not) holding pretty steady at 80-81 kilos for the past week. If I can hold the weightloss for a week I know it isn’t a result of sickness or anything other than good diet and exercise. So, woohoo! I lost 10 kilos and have moved from the obese catergory (BMI) to simply overweight. Can I get another WOOHOO! 
I have been experimenting with eliminating cawfee from my diet (I KNOW! I’m just as bereft as you are!) as the heart palpitations are driving me absolutely insane. Jamie thinks they may be a side-effect of the medication for my dysequilibrium but I’m not sure. I think it is just crappy coffee and you can bet that he will be without another finger this afternoon if he comes home without my Cubano. Yet again. Hmph.

And can we just have a HOLY SHIT for the tropics?!!!??!!?
We have Hurricane Gustav, Hurricane Hanna and Tropical Storm Ike, along with 2 other invests gracing the Atlantic. Ugh. I am putting my faith in the turtles this year.
I know, isn’t it insane!! Way too many spinners out there.
On the other hand, we had some HUGE surf in Port A yesterday. Bill is insanely tired today, but happily rode some waves that were easily several feet over head. Me? I paddled out and caught one big wave, then had to paddle out again and my arms fell off and I never made it to the outside again, so I rode the smaller inside waves.
Go you!!! on the weight loss. Outstanding!!
