Disappointing

This was my first weekly weigh-in that I didn’t lose. I wasn’t really surprised, because I ate terrible all weekend and by Monday had three pounds to lose in order to be on track by Wednesday. So I’m a pound behind my goal pace, but happy to say I lost 9 pounds in the first month of my effort. Of course, 3 or 4 of them came off right away. But the rest of them have taken concerted effort.

Dad is doing somewhat better, but as he reminds me, he has more to lose. I think he was at about 12 pounds lost last I heard, but probably more by now. I’m thrilled with how seriously he is watching his eating, although I wish he’d get more exercise. He bought a nice used bike, but it has either been rainy or we’ve had to work on the house, so he hasn’t been out on it much. I think it is harder work than he remembered. The times he did go out, he couldn’t go far before having to turn around and head home. But he hasn’t exercised those biking muscles for quite a while.  And having a bike is a big step in the right direction!

We’ve got a closing date for our business property – next Wednesday (June 25). I’m really excited. I had five new people in tai chi yesterday after I ran an article in the paper!
