11 lbs down…the diet's still going.

by | Nov 10, 2010 | Journal

I’m losing about 2-3 lbs a week on this diet. Which is good. Now and again we go out, have a drink, try to be at least judicious in what we get. Then get back on the strict diet. Jane’s losing at about the same rate, a little slower, but losing. And we...

She’s taken to her bed and is reading and sleeping and having food and reading and sleeping. Overdue, I think. She’s been so tired. I’m trying to work, but it’s a sleepy sort of day. The light-alarm system is working well: both of us are waking...
