This morning’s weigh-in brings me to 317.6 pounds, which is down 2.8 pounds since last week. I’m really surprised that the weight loss has been consistent the last 5 weeks. I’m not unhappy about it, just surprised. So that’s 7.8 pounds since I changed to the lifting routine, and adding calories each day. I can definitely live with that.

Oh, and whatever the problem was with my foot yesterday it’s almost back to perfect. I felt a small twinge somewhere along the way today, but if it’s still happening tomorrow I’ll start wearing shoes inside (instead of the usual socks).

It’s starting to get to the point outside where you actually believe that spring is coming. Some of the flower beds are free of snow, and the daffodils are springing up fast. The ice on the pool is still quite thick, but squishy on the top. We really do think that by the end of the week that we’ll decided on an opening date and call the guy who will do it. (Yay!)
