Hello everyone. A holiday weekend is coming up. Hope everyone enjoys it. Let's all "stay the course" with Lighten Up and not be tempted to overeat. Due to being so busy with work, I had to reschdule my appointment with Cori at Lake County General Health District to next week. According to the scale this morning, the results were encouraging. So long for now.

Lighten Up 2013

Hello again everyone. Another week down. Hope all of you are progressing towards your goals. My weight showed good news yesterday, compared to the previous week. This week was not a good one for my workouts. Made it only once during the work week. Usually get there 3-4 days. Real estate has been so busy that I've been starting work real early and finishing late. We have to strike while business is out there.

Hello everyone. Sorry to see that we lost a few people on our journey. I wish them all well. Congratulations to fellow participants who made the cut, led by our great leaders, Jim & Tim. Keep it up everyone. I had a rough test this past weekend, getting together with 30 guys that were college friends at Dewey Beach DE. Lots of food and snacking. I did pretty well, all things considered. We had another great meal at Cabana's last Tuesday. Hats off to Cabana's and Mike Good for what they do. We both had the tilapia and it was great. Have a great weekend everyone. Til next time.

Here we are at halfway through the contest. My results are encouraging. I've lost around 20 lbs, nearly 10% of my initial weigh-in. It was nice to see Jim and Ken at the weigh-in. Jim's progress has been fabulous. Ken looks like he's doing well also. I was sorry that I missed dinner at Cabana's last night. Kori at Lake County General Health District told me that she was going to do a trivia night regarding nutrition. I had a business appointment that could not be changed. In appreciation for Cabana's generosity, I decided to get a take out lunch from them after Saturday's weigh-in. It was one of my favorites, Fiesta chicken. Good luck everyone until next time.
