Steady . . .

Every authority with which I'm familiar warns that major weight loss is a lifestyle change, and that at some point your progress will slow.

I think we've reached that point.   This morning was my lowest weight since we started this process (218.6), but . . . it's only about a half pound less than I was a week ago.  On the plus side, I've lost a half pound in a week that saw a couple of restaurant meals and a week that was so hot outdoors that my exercise was limited.

The next few weeks will be a bit of a challenge -  Saturday is my 25th High School class reunion.  I'm planning to eat, drink and make merry, with no regard for my weight.   The Saturday after that is a 70th reunion for the Scout Troop I used to lead.  I've been on the committee that's been planing this event for the last six months, and I have to say, the banquet looks excellent.

The full week after THAT reunion, the boys will be with my in-laws.   We're not travelling this year, but we will take the opportunity to do some things we normally can't do, like eat out at restaurants that don't have crayons and paper place mats.

So . . . for the rest of July, being steady on my weight seems like a pretty good goal.
