Dateline Wuxi, China Friday September 21, 2012

Ruth’s last weigh in was 65.7 = 144lb 13.5oz
Today’s weigh in  for Ruth was 65.4kg = 144lb 2.9oz
So Ruth is down  .3kg = 10.6oz

Zale’s last weigh in two weeks ago was 96.5 kg = 212lb 11.9oz
This morning my weight 96.3kg = 212lb 4.9oz
So I’m down .2kg = .4lbs or 7oz.

My best weight before going to Canada was:  94.9 = 209.2 lbs.
starting weight 109.6 – 94.9 = 14.7kg or 32.4 lbs. total loss before the summer

So I’m still a couple of pounds short of the weight I got to before the summer, and this isn’t surprising.  With my sister visiting, birthday parties, and a general lack of strict adherence to the program, it’s surprising I’ve lost anything.

Ruth is just happy that she hasn’t gained anything, because she’s also not been strict on the program.

My only regret about this is that my birthday is coming up and I wanted a six pack by October 22.  The window of opportunity to achieve that is slipping away.  But then, what’s a six pack all about anyway.  Looking like I do as I turn 65 is not going to be a tragedy.

Slept in this morning because I could.  Time to get on the elliptical machine.

570 on the elliptical.  That didn’t change my weight at all, at least not with the scale we have at our disposal.
