How is the weight loss coming along since the Cleveland trip bp? If you need some extra
Perogies Sharon and I are going up close to Parma today and I could fax some down to you?

It's finally getting OK again. Weighed in at 207 today. First time back in the 2-OHs since Cleveland.

I went from 204 to 233 over eight days! What I've learned over the past two years is that when you overeat carbs, your body stores an extra four grams of water in your fat cells for every gram of carbs you overeat (and your body can't burn that day). You should have seen me! I looked like a jellyfish as my body attempted to store all that extra water! I'll never doubt a woman for time of month bloating again!

Once I got back and started eating my normal amount (and working out again), I lost the water. On my drive back, I literally had to stop to pee every 45 minutes to an hour. That sucked on a seven hour trip! And then a few nights, I was up peeing four and five times a night. But my body finally rid itself of the extra water.

I'm aiming for 200 by June 1. Got 7.6 pounds to go!

Photo... Tim and me on West 25th Street in Cleveland. Right outside the West Side Market. I'm probably 225 or so here! bp

Here is me on the Friday of that week. About 209, I guess. Sister Judy brought this candy, which we all gobbled up over the next several days!



And here is me on Sunday morning. Sister Judy grabbed this shot. I'm outside a Denny's, where I just put away an egg-white omelet. I was sort of disappointed in this shot, as I definitely had put on a bit of weight around my midsection!



My new goal is to go from my current 32 lbs. of body fat to 25 by June 1 and 20 by July 1. That will put me at 10 percent body fat.

I'm just having fun playing around with it now... experimenting, etc. bp

You are doing a fantastic job bp. Westside Market ..... yum yum.

If you went in what did you think of the renovation?

[draglist]

I did go in and just about bought out the place! Did not really notice the renovation... looked about the same to me? Bought a bunch of Baklava and danish... HUGE slabs of cherry and apple danish for nine bucks a piece. Also grabbed an amazing pasty confection to eat on the spot. Denise and my sister Nancy had to block my view from the rest of that bakery so that I would not buy more! It was great, but it's all gone now.... bp

[Wheelzman]

Actually the ceiling and walls were almost as dirty from never being cleaned as from the fire but
look at the ceiling and walls now and it is just beautiful. Oh I forgot you had Danish and other
important stuff on your mind! When Sharon and I go up there we get one sweet thing each. Me
being a diabetic my sugar goes up a 100 points just walking in the door. Everything looks sooo good.

Thanks, Wheelz! Great story. No, I didn't look up that much! I was too busy looking at those amazing cases of food! bp

[Wheelzman]

Yeah I know. That is one amazing place, especially if you like to eat, and pretty much covers all
of us. Look up next time. I'll have Denise put a leash on you so she can control you.
