Weight Loss

We are still doing Weight Watchers. He has lost 20 pounds and I'm down 12. It is not easy and we continue to take it one meal at a time.

The good things:

1. We are only eating out one meal a week
2. He has cut way back on the potato chips as he has to count them.
3. I can tell in his face that he is losing.
4. I think he's only had a couple of candy bars a week. At least it's not a bag a day. That I know of. :o)

I'm sure that this week it will just be a pound or so, but hopefully it will still be coming off.

He doesn't understand this is a change in lifestyle and still thinks it's just temporary. But the good thing is that he is a little more willing to try something new. We are trying 2 new recipes each week. Guarantees a bit of variety. He is not eating enough fresh fruit and veggies, but has started on celery and carrot trays this week. Still no exercise.

Yesterday, he missed a step coming down the stairs and landed on his arm. Has had it in a splint and has barely moved. But tonight the swelling has started to subside, so hopefully he can function a little more tomorrow.

He still needs to lose 30 pounds as a minimum. I need to lose another 20. So I'm sticking with this and my excuse is that he either has to eat what I fix, or fix something for himself. So that may just be a way of life from here on out! :o)
