Hello,

I have been away for the weekend on a mini-vacation. I thought that I
should take one
before I go to Vegas for the real vacation on the 18th.

I had a few more calories this weekend than I wanted to

I always have more calories than I want to on the weekend. That is the time
that I
travel a great deal and eat in those blasted restaurants. For one thing,
the cooks
use a lot of grease/butter in the baking/grilling to baste their meats, but
of course
they don't tell you this.

Caleb, I know that scale wants to go down, the trick is to talk to it. Say
really nice
things to it before you step on it. It works miracles. LOL

I will update my weight changes tomorrow.

Have a great evening/morning/day, whatever time it is when you read this.

Jackie

P.S. If you try the cabbage let me know how you like it!

Day 64 and still 28 pounds gone
265/237/200

Got on my scale this morning and saw that my weight had not gone any
lower. Too bad!

I had a few more calories this weekend than I wanted to, but still the
indicator wanted to go down. Oh, well! I hope by Friday I have 30
pounds gone. If not by Friday, than it will happen soon.

I was hanging doors this weekend with my far-better half, and it is
fun seeing better doors to some of our rooms. A lot of satisfaction
seeing them up.

The day has been beautiful here so far - blue sky, flowers are lovely.
Yesterday we walked around a portion of SE Portland displaying various
kinds of art work. Some of the places were truly amazing, including a
woodshop next to a place that made bronze statuary. Making bronze
statues requires a variety of intricate steps. (Bronze statues are
largely hollow, this to reduce their weight and the amount of bronze
[with related copper] used.)

After I do an hour or two of paper work, I hope to go up my little
hill.

I hope everyone is having a great week and a great month!


Yours truly,

Caleb
