The long summer is almost over

The summer is not my favorite time and I usually really slow down and drop out. That happened a bit this year although I also made it to the East coast to see family and help my parents celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary. It was hot and I must have eaten less as I lost 5 pounds during the 3 week visit!!

I also went camping in August for 2 days and that went better than expected.

Right now, I'm dealing with some digestive upset and eating lots of clear soups, so I've lost another pound.

Looking back, I see it's been a year since I started "seriously" trying to lose weight. I weigh only 7 pounds less than a year ago, but that's better than none or gaining, so I'm trying to give myself credit for what I've accomplished rather than a hard time for what I haven't.

What have you been up to?
