Cliff and I are still maintaining our weights pretty well. We did a bad thing Saturday on the way to Iowa City, though... we stopped at Golden Corral for lunch. We should NEVER, EVER eat at buffets! I limited myself fairly well, but Cliff saw his chance and took it. I did not say anything to him about his second helpings or his three desserts because, in circumstances like that, he gets pretty edgy if I butt in.
My job from now on, as I see it, is to see that we avoid buffets at all cost!
Looking back, we agreed that the food wasn't even that good.
So, on our return home, Cliff weighed 220. He'd been under 220 for over a month, and was very disappointed. It's OK, though: yesterday on our official weekly weigh-in, he was at 217.
We have one of those digital machines that makes it easy to check blood pressure, and we use it often. Here's something we wonder about: The first time either of us checks our blood pressure, the reading is higher than on subsequent readings. Once we get past that first time, the readings are pretty much the same even if we do it three or four times, and the numbers are always good.
Do we tense up that first time, then relax for the next readings? And would this happen in a doctor's office, if they took more than one reading?
What's up with that?

Yes it would happen at the doctor's office. One trick we used to do was put the cuff on the other arm. If there is a big difference in BP we would have to check for something. Can't remember right now. My head is foggy.
yall are doing good.got to watch them buffets .doesn't hurt to cheat every once in awhile though.
I think that does happen in a doctor's office for the very reason you stated. We do the same thing at Golden Corral and always say we're not going back because the food just isn't that good.
