Think of them as bags of potatoes

The combined average weights of two  brothers (who are anything but average), one age two and one age 6, is 74.6 pounds.  As coincidence would have it, that is exactly the combined total weight that Bill and I have lost since August 1.  He has lost a couple pounds more than me, but we are doing this together, all the way (or weigh)!

As a result of the lost pounds and the increased exercise I have been able to drop one of my diabetes medications and I am working towards cutting back on the blood pressure pills.

Another way of visualizing our weight loss is this;  Bill has had to tighten his belt three holes and I can pull my pants off without undoing them!  (How’s that for a visual?)

As a small reward, I am treating myself to some new pants tomorrow at Ross Dress for Less.  Why Ross, you ask?  (Actually Clare is the one who usually asks.)  Because I am a cheapskate and Tuesday is Senior Day…10% off my entire purchase!!!

And for those of you who are cackling about me being a “senior” let me assure you that at Ross (a very open-minded establishment) you become a “senior” at age 55.
