Well this is twice in one week!  I'm doing better.  I lost 3 lbs this week bringing my total to 11, and Bill has lost a total of 7.  Slow going, but leg is getting better so may be able to get back on treadmill! YEAH! Weather is very bad here today...They are talking about violent tornadoes and larger than golfball size hail?  Oh my!  Good news is...too scared to eat!  Nervous stomach.  Bill is definitely becoming more commited and I got out for the first time in four days today.  It felt good.  encouraged by the losses of the black team.  They are doing so much better!

I cannot no matter what I do...Keep up with this blog.  We are supposed to be writing in it daily, I do good to make weekly or biweekly entries.  Bill is struggling, and  I am doing good with food.  However with exercise, not so good.  I think I am going to have to have an MRI for my hip.  I can get around slowly, for an hour or two and then I am down...watching home improvement shows.  Any exercise at all, and I am down for two or three days, and by down...I mean I can't even walk from one room to the other.  So far Bill has lost 6 lbs since we have started and I have lost a total of 9.  I lost all the weight I gained from our trip +1.  Weigh in again tomorrow.  We always seem to be hungry.  We watch the show faithfully, I never notice them mentioning hunget during the show.  How could you be hungry when you exercise 4 hours a day?

We got an emergency call that my husband's daughter had gone into labor, so we ran out of the house and jumped into the car to go to virginia.  We just returned home. so that is why no blog entry lately.  There were complications and the baby was in the NICU for a while.  He is fine now and fat and happy.  He weighed nine pounds 2 ounces at birth, and had some breathing and oxygen problems.  will post photo later.  Here is the problem.  I thought I ate good while away, I gained 7 lbs!  Bill of course gained nothing.  Men! Back on the right track now. 

Sorry guys...A wicked intestinal virus ripped through our house this week and left me unable to even sit up.  First my husband had it , then immediately following, me.  I even missed diet cokes double point days!  Ha! 

Today is the first real day I feel well, so it's back to the treadmill.  The illness taught me something though...On day one I ate 6 crackers, a popsicle and a jello, on day two I had a whole wheat bagel and a lite grill cheese.  Day three I actually started to eat normally for the plan and found that I really wasn't that hungry.  Please don't try the intestinal virus diet you won't like it!  However the point is I discovered that you don't have to be shoving food in your mouth all day long to survive.   My husband is feeling lots better also and is happily snacking on mandarin oranges, one of his favorites!  I have lost 6 pounds.  I wish I could credit my hard work?  But I bet it was the illness.  but, it's gone none the less.

Well Folks here we are putting our stomachs on the line for reduction!  This is finally the final time we are doing this!  We are tired of being tired.  We bought a treadmill and are planning a trip to the store for healthy food.
