Where the heck did everyone go? It sure is quiet, and I don’t know about the rest of you, but I really miss the encouragement and support I used to find here. I know people get busy this time of year, but it only takes a minute to check in. Sigh.

Well, I’ll update you on my progress, and it isn’t anything to brag about. After my last post (that nobody saw) in which I stated I had gained two pounds, I sort of floated along … like I ALWAYS HAVE IN THE PAST … and then buckled down and tried again. I lost one pound this week. One measly pound, but at least the scale went in the right direction. AND, perhaps best of all, my BP was 110/70 at my checkup this week, the lowest it’s been in 5-6 years. So I must be doing something right.
