Bill decided to lose weight on May 29. He had reached the point of disgust with himself and couldn’t take another day of it. He had been telling me for years that he couldn’t understand why he didn’t lose weight. In his mind he wasn’t eating that much.

Bill is adjusting to his new weight. He is not as familiar with the ups and downs in weight as many of us are.

It is Bill's birthday week. He has been reminding me and groaning about old age for the past month. His dream of retirement is a long way off. He continues with Plan B, winning the lotto, and buys his tickets with his "lucky" numbers.

Bill weighs daily and mid-week he hits a new set of numbers. He is pretty happy with himself.

Bill is on a diet  Week 9

Bill loves to sit on the sofa on Sundays and watch golf. Bill no longer plays golf because of a bad back. We are fortunate to have the Canadian Open in town. The weather forecast for the last day of play is clear and warm. I suggest we go to the golf tournament and walk the course rather than sitting on the sofa and watching it. Tickets are bought and early the next morning we are out the door.

Bill loves his ice cream. When he first started on his new eating plan he was measuring out his frozen treat in a 1/2 cup measure. He was shocked to think how much he was eating before his new plan. He guessed about 500 calories for ice cream plus toppings.

Chef Dave is visiting us this week. There is lots of work to be done, lots of foods to taste, and our schedule is packed full. Bill is unsure how this week will work out for him. We have friends and neighbors invited for dinner two nights. It's not often you have a chef in your home to prepare meals for your guests.
