After getting off to a speedy start the paperwhites just stood around for a week or more until just a few days ago. Now the house fairly reeks.



I feel like I've been AWOL for a month. I haven't been nearly as focused on diet & exercise as I was before but it's been gratifying to realize that I've internalized so many changes over the past months and that even without a conscious effort I've been able to maintain my weight and fitness.

I'd like to refocus and drop the last few pounds. One thing that's motivating me now is the fact that I want Jim to lose weight. Since we've had such warm weather, he hasn't been doing much skiing so I got him to the park yesterday and tomorrow I'm planning to finally get over to the YMCA and sign us up. If it was just for me I think I would be doing a different program but the Y is what Jim needs so I'll try it.
