So Trudy and I sent our kids down to the coast with my parents for a week. So we were all alone. We did well I feel. On Thanksgiving we took Chopper, our dog, out to the 1000 acres trails by Lewis & CLark state Park. We hiked out to the Columbia River, it was probably about two miles. Did I mention that it was poring down rain. We came home and had our dinner, it was different than any other Thanksgiving dinner that I have ever had.After that we went over to our friend's house to visit for the evening. They had some pretty tempting deserts out, but Trudy made sure than we both stuck to our commitment and didn't cheat.
On saturday we took Chopper and the guns up into the Cascades for some exploring and fun. We hiked around the back side of Frog Lake Reservour. We followed the path of the spillway down into the forest, hopped on a couple different deer trails, and eventually made our way back up the other side of the spillway and back to the car.
Three hikes in a week, my feet were killing me yesterday. Today of course made it all worth it. I weighed in and I lost six pounds this week. I am down to 367 lbs from 403. That is 36 lbs since October 27th if my math is on.
It is strange to think that in a few weeks, or sooner, that I could be down below 350 Lbs. I know that this will happen before Christmas.
If you want to see how Trudy is doing with all of this, check out her blog at http://www.fasttrack2fitness.blogspot.com/ you can always email or call me with comments or questions.
Thanks, I will post again next week.
Hi Jason,
ReplyDeleteYou guys are doing great!!! I am so impressed.
Sounds like it is time to get out the sewing machine and start taking up seams. I have taken up 12+ inches on some of my sweatshirts, tshirts and jeans (the pockets are really small now). I just can't see spending a lot of money on clothes when they won't fit anymore in just a couple of weeks.
But I have had to buy a few things that work for business meetings. I just look for things that I can take seams in on. And I shop at WalMart so I don't have to spend as much.
I tried Good Will, but their prices weren't all that great for what they had to offer.
It was great seeing you yesterday and meeting Trudy. You are an inspiration to me and a challenge to keep faithful on the program!!! Thank you.
