Honestly I was a little nervous about how this week's weigh-in was going to turn out, but in spite of several factors I ended up being down .8 pounds.
There was no "44 weeks" post because we were on vacation in Ecuador.
Several years ago, we hosted 2 exchange students from Ecuador for a year. We became close friends with them and their families, and we went down about 3 years ago to attend the wedding of one of "our" kids. Now she has a little girl so we went for a visit this past 10 days.
So for 10 days I have not been running as much as I usually do (it rained most days). I also have not been drinking as much water as normal (like in Mexico and other countries, Americans and their stomachs should avoid the local water so I had to get bottled water where I could). And we ate. The food there is quite different, with a lot of corn and bread used in several things. And it's a cultural thing to have some type of dessert with each meal.
So I am pretty happy that in spite of all that I still lost almost a pound from 2 weeks ago. Now the race is on to get to my goal weight by the end of August.
These people had not seen me for 3 1/2 years, so I got a lot of comments about how much weight I had lost. I have to say that was nice to hear!
Oh - I am using a new profile picture now. Below is the comparison of old vs. new. If anyone wants to see lots more pictures from our trip to Ecuador, friend me on Facebook -
