Weight Loss Update
It’s that time again. A month has passed, and I need to give out the weight loss update. I visited the dietitian for my monthly appointment and got on what I am calling the “official” scale. I had a pretty good month, I lost 14 lbs this month. A slower pace than my previous 22 [...]

Thursday night we went to the “Stars in the Sky” benefit for the Association of Hole in the Wall Camps, a set of camps for kids with life threatening illnesses founded by Paul Newman.
This event was amazing! Our tickets were [...]

Umbrella Update

Diet Update
I went to my dietician for a followup visit yesterday, which would include the all important “weigh in”. Well, I did pretty damn good for my first 4 weeks. I’ve lost 22 lbs. since my first visit. That’s pretty nice. Although I am well aware that it’s going to slow down. To help combat that, [...]
