Losing Weight

OK, I know I had fun at the expense of my wife Jilda over the fasting attempt, but when I got on the scales this morning I had dropped down to 213 pounds down from 223.

Now I'm not claiming that the lemon, maple syrup and cayenne pepper mix has caused the weight loss because I've been pushing away from the table and not having seconds. I have also upped my walking to at least 30 minutes a day and most days much more but I think the fasting elixir jump started my metabolism or something because each day I've been dropping a little.

Jilda has lost weight too.

As we get closer to retirement from the day gig, we're putting much more focus on the important things in our lives. What good is retirement if you're sick?

I'll keep you updated on our progress. My goal is to get below 200 pounds. Once there, I'll be at what I consider my ideal weight. Had I done this last year, I wouln't have had to eaten anchovies for New Years.
