Weight day

This morning I stepped on the scale: 186.8 was my new number. This is a loss of 4.2 lbs in 2 weeks. It is the 10th consecutive week I have lost weight, for a total of 28.2 lbs. I'm so excited with the result, my goal is 2.5 pounds per 2 week any thing more is just outstanding.

In the past 2 weeks we had company over. However, we stayed focus on our health journey. We didn't have wine even when our company had some, we ate healthy and we kept exercising. I consider those past weeks as a success which showed we did not get derailed; NOT even tempted. So far, we have spent a lot of time on the road, we have had company over, and nothing has affected us, we are so motivated.

This week our youngest daughter is coming for a visit. On Tuesday, we'll go kayaking for 5.5 miles on a river. Not really an exercise as this will be more of an activity, but one of  enjoyment as the kayak will be going down river nice and slow. Pics will be posted, I'm sure.

Yesterday there was no blog, my computer is going kaput on me, as I'm typing this, I have my fingers crossed hoping I can finish my post before my laptop quits again. In 2 weeks when we get back home, one of my priorities will be to buy a new laptop. I'm not crazy about that as I have all my tools on this one and I don't feel like learning one more operating systems; nothing I can do about it, it's time to move to 2015.

Are you as lost as I am about food? This is so complex, all I wanted was to eat healthy.
