High Five for Dad and Me!!


What do you think of our pasta collection?? These are 1-pound boxes of pasta destined for donation to a food bank when we think we have enough. It might well be doubled before we are ready.

Some of you know but others do not. Dad and I started a project on February 4. Today is our 4-month anniversary of Nutrisystem. Together we have lost more than 50 pounds!! I am really proud of us. I have dropped two pant sizes and got to buy new jeans, and Dad has had to buy new belts and pants. (Remember the Hawaii post about emergency shopping for his trip to Dubai??) His shirts are baggy and his pants were sliding off his hips. He is wearing things from his closet he hasn't worn in 15 years! I am pinching inches around waists of skirts and passing them on. We put out three big bags of too-big clothes for Am Vets to collect last Monday. It is great!! We plan to continue until ... we're done!

Although I've told you on the phone lots of times, I thought I's post it on your blog too so you can look back and see it always, but, congratulations, what you two are doing takes serious dedication and work. love you.

6 High fives from us to each of you (that's 12--I <3 math)!
So proud of you both, and so inspired as well. I began a project myself on June 1 to lego my 1st year PhD weight for good. Hurray for all of us increasingly fit folks!
