I was really touched by one of the members of the community that I manage, today. In past Christmas times she would give me a box of homemade cookies. Today, she gave me my Christmas gift, a large basket of fruit! She said we think the world of you and want you to succeed in your new diet lifestyle! What support!

Woohoo a 1½ pound drop from yesterday!

I will try to be more active in my posting. I feel challenged to make the 13 pounds in the remaining two months. If I can manage a 2 pounds loss a week that would be 16 pounds, more than enough to reach the 25 pound loss goal. Okay, I can do this.

Breakfast: Quick Oatmeal w/flax, walnuts, blackberries, Kiwi fruit, almond milk. Tea
Lunch: banana [work demands]
Dinner: Beans & greens, baked apple, walnuts, parsnip, raisins

One Month

Drum roll, please! In the first month (4 weeks) I’ve lost 12 pounds and an inch all around! For someone who considered a 5 pound loss in a month great this is superb. No, it doesn’t match my first ETL go in 2007, but that included a day of fasting and 6 to 7 hours of walking.

I am pleased. Press on; 13 pounds in 8 weeks to go.
