So, despite nixing the tracking and exercise over this weekend, the pile of food from friends, neighbors, and relatives in my Mom's house, and my tendency toward emotional eating, my numbers still made me smile this week. I'm down to 230.5. In half a pound, I can officially declare myself free of the Depo-Provera weight gain. In a pound and a half I will have lost 50 pounds off my highest weight. After returning to Rochester, I got right back into my eating and exercising routine. It was tough at first, but remembering the part in my Dad's eulogy about how he once ran 20 miles every week is a good motivator. I am still brimming with energy. I had so many compliments from my relatives about my weight loss that I feel them like a challenge to keep things going well. What I am proudest about is being able to truly enjoy food and still lose weight. No, I can't gnarf it all down like I used to. I mean, I am capable of it, but I am also capable of making the choice to proportion what goes onto my plate in a way that will benefit my body rather than bogging it down. Anyhow, that's how I am progressing toward taking off my fat suit. One ounce at a time.

I am, in fact, in town now. I have my Stash of Doom in tow, including the lonely spare imp of Voodoo. :) Our location is in the phone book under De Laney (and Amherstdale), in case I'm not online and you are available. Let me know if you're interested in meeting up here, there, or somewhere else. :) If you are busy, tired, or otherwise occupied, I totally understand. Talk to you later.

Hey! My morning stuff took longer than planned, and then the family was all charged up to go visit a dog at the shelter. (It didn't pan out, but it took long enough!)

Are you in tomorrow too or just today?

Totally understandable. I'm still in town until after a family dinner, but my husband is out with the car. If you can duck out in this direction sometime before four, that would be awesome. If not, we'll find another time. :) Give me a call at eight three nine five seven zero one if you have some time free! We'll see what we can work out.
