begin again

well, I see it has been quite awhile since my last post. I never gave the final weigh in or inches lost! I had gotten pretty busy and I guess I just forgot. Well, anyway - the final results of the first six weeks was that Norm lost 30 pounds and I lost 20 - between the two of us we also lost a total of about 40 inches - we were, to say the least, thrilled. Then we had a vacation and several holidays, but we tried to stick with the diet when we could and I ended up losing an additional 6 pounds since the official end of the diet but Norm gained 7 back. We are restarting with purpose today, and will be very good for at least two weeks - we are going on a two week vacation soon and hope to be good most of the time, though we won't stress out about eating things we shouldn't. Norm will do quite a bit of golfing and I will walk and swim so we hope to be able to maintain again. I will try to start my postings again on a weekly basis - with Monday continuing to be the weigh in day. Carol did well also, I think she lost 18 pounds in her six week quest and we are hoping that she gets back on the bandwagon this week so when she buys her wedding dress in March she will be very happy with how it looks on her! It was already lovely (if she chooses one of the two she has already tried on) so I am sure with another 10 to 15 pounds she will be very happy with herself and how she looks in it! Well, it was cereal, milk and juice for breakfast this morning and now I am drinking only my first 32 oz water bottle - guess I'd better start drinking it up! I do have a colonoscopy scheduled for Thursday so not sure how that will affect my weight loss this week - we shall see - I would think it would help but who knows! Guess that is all for now - post again next Monday!
