peregrine falcons

last week i helped to capture and band some baby peregrine falcons in toronto. i took this short video of my co-worker john in a standoff with the mama, after we had removed the babies from the nest.

goodbye fat

thanks to sparkpeople i have lost almost 15 pounds. i say almost as i am still 2 pounds away from my goal. i took some pictures of my fat self to get myself motivated to lose weight. i also watched a lot of X-Weighted and Last 10 Pounds Bootcamp. it's been hard work but it's so worth it. last night i put on a pair of jeans that i haven't worn for almost 2 years. WOOHOOO!!! i think i am going to try to lose 5 more pounds after i reach my first goal, and then i will be golden! learning to maintain without gaining will be my next challenge!
