Dax's Journal

[DoeWDW]

Dax, the only thought that came to mind on your econ problem was this. If you borrow $100 today at 10% interest, you get to use $100 in today's dollars. Inflation is running around 2% - 3% per year, I think. So next year, when you borrow $100, it will be worth less than $100 today, since its value will be lessened by inflation. Yes, you'll still have $100, but it will be worth $97 or $98. Does that make sense??

Hope today is a great one!

Hey guys!

Well I had to send 2 of my 9 employees to of all places...Orlando for hurricane recovery today. They will be there at least 8-9 weeks. How jealous am I! i wonder how much I would be at WDW in that time!

Gotta run!

Hello all!

Long time no see

Well, I have been gone so long that I don't know where to start. Well I gained back about 15 lbs. However, I am back on going strong again and I am going to adjust my clippie to my overall weight loss, because it has gotten too confusing going back and forth like a yoyo!! So as of today, I have lost 48 lbs so that is where the clippie will be. I am currently on a roll with Atkins again and I will keep on going, just had a little 3 or 6 month blip there!

Well I am currently writing a 5 page term paper for my Economics class. As you may recall I have gone back to school and am trying to get my MBA. I gotta run, but to quote George Costanza from Seinfeld, " I'm back baby, I'm Back!!!!!"

The incredible shrinking one!!!

Take care,
Tracy

Well things have been wild at work and with school and snow here in Kentucky! I have great news I can now get a new clippie! 50 lbs! :jumping4:

I gotta go walk now but I am shooting for another 50 lbs. this year! I am sure I can do it!

Help me all you guys can....I'll see you all soon!

The incredible shrinking one!

Dax

 

[Desiree]

Glad to see you back! How's the family? And little miss Olivia?

Hey Lizzy and Desiree,

Olivia is doing great! She is now 8 months old and she just loves her big brother Blake! I hope that continues as they get older....

Well I'm having trouble with my 50 lbs sticky, I'll have to go to tech support and get that fixed...I've never had trouble with them before...

Well DW has decided to start the new year off with a diet. She is going to do Atkins with me for a week or two and then make a decision about what plan to follow. Be thinking about her!

Hey Desiree,

Sorry to see your LSU Tigers go down in the bowl that way...although it does kinda remind you of an LSU win in Lexington a year or two ago huh!?!? You know what they say, what comes around goes around. BTW our friends from BAton Rouge are coming up to visit us here in KY in early February.

Gotta run!

Dax

Congrats on the 50 lbs!

 

[Desiree]

Hey Dax, try putting {img}the website here{/img} and replace the {and }'s with [ and ]

That's great that the kids get along! I bet Olivia is getting big! You should tell your DW to join us here on WISH!

Yea, the LSU game, what can I say. At least Basketball is here, not that our Men are doing very well, but at least we have our Women who are kicking butt! With all the SEC play starting I did think of you up there in Kentucky! Are your friends going to be up there for the LSU/KY game?

 

[myhandd]

Lost two more pounds today, getting close to another clippie!

Desiree, our friends are just coming up to see us. He is a trainer at LSU so I think he gets all the sporting events he wants!

Later!

Dax

 

[toystoryduo]

Great job Dax!!!! How is everything else going for you? Have a great Wednesday!

 

[Desiree]

That new clippie is right around the corner! You can do it!

 

[myhandd]

Hello everyone,

Well Desiree you were right, the new clippie was just around the corner! 55 lbs. as of yesterday!

This is going so great I can't believe it! Well to all of you who have helped encourage me thanks!

Well everything is going pretty well. The family went to Murray yesterday to get my textbook for my Survey of Accounting class, which I really dread. Afterwards, we went to Ryan's and ate the buffet (low carb items only!) I have to admit it does feel really strange to be able to see yeah I am on a diet yet we are eating at a buffet! Oh well.

Went to church this morning. Had trouble staying awake during the sermon as little Miss Olivia chooses not to sleep but about an hour at a time during the night. Couldn't ask for a better baby during the day, but night is another story!

Well gotta run,

Dax

 

[Desiree]

Oh gosh Dax, well I hope Olivia will get her sleeping schedule on the right track soon enough!

That's wonderful that Atkins seems to be really working well for you! So I guess we're doing the new clippie dance!!!

Looks like your Wildcats put a whoopin' on us Saturday. Just wait next month when the girls come down here to the Deaf Dome to play us in Women's hoops! Our men's team just doesn't have it this year. And we had a lot of potential to start the season with. Ah well. Not much you can do when Kentucky's bench comes in and clobbers us!

Oh and wait for baseball season too!

Have a great week and hopefully you can rest up some!

 

[DoeWDW]

WOO HOO!!!

Dax is sporting quite a bright 55 lb. clippie these days!! Congratulations!!

Looks like you are back and on track - I'm so happy to hear it!

Juggling work, family (DW + 2 little ones) and school is tough. To lose weight on top of all that is even tougher! Pat yourself on the back, Dax - you are amazing!

Don't let all this go to your head, now! I want to be celebrating another new clippie SOON, OK?
