Time to check in

Cliff and I weighed 218 and 148, respectively.  Our weight goes up a pound or two, down a pound or two.  Cliff is still losing weight, just doing it very slowly.  Me?  I'm maintaining.  After our motorcycle weekend, I got on the scales the next morning at home and was 150.5.  HORRORS!!!  I never want to be over 150 again.  Thank goodness it was temporary.

Cliff started doing some dumbell exercises, and I figured I may as well join him.  I use lighter weight dumbells, of course.  We also incorporated some old-fashioned calisthenics into the program.  So now, after our daily half-hour walk, we spend 20 to 25 minutes with the mats and weights.  I'd never do this on my own:  I hate pushups and lifting weights.  But as long as Cliff's doing it, I may as well.

I've decided to switch back to genuine butter for baking, in those few recipes where olive oil won't work.  I know it's high in cholestoral, but at least there aren't any trans fats.  About the only thing left in my house with trans fats is the stick margarine, and once this is gone, I won't be buying any more.

Oh, I want this T-shirt!
