Another two pounds down (actually, as of Friday, the 17th). This weekend has been a little bit lost, what with St Patrick's and all those boiled dinner potatoes. Still, with only a day or two in the hole, I should have time to recover during the next two weeks. As long as I can get back on my regimen the next day, all remains well.
Only 20 pounds now to my target weight. It's encouraging to know that I have made it more than half way since starting this most recent phase. That gives confidence that this time we will complete the effort. More to the point is the realization that we started this journey at 306, and have now lost more than 100 pounds.
Of course, it has taken a long time: nearly 20 years ... but with the patient encouragement of my beautiful spouse and a marvelous physician - and pilgrims on my journey like you - we are "almost there." I have no doubt that the goal will be reached before 2017 is done.
Thank you, all.
