A Great Book !

      I'm reading a good book now which I want to tell you about.  It's called, "The Last Time I was me," by Cathy Lamb.  This is the second time I'm reading it and I just love it.  It has everything to keep you turning pages and the main  character is someone you want to be.  She's strong, intelligent and knows what she wants, plus her shoes are out of this world.  I also have one of her other books which is, "Julia's Chocolates".  It's just as good and the characters she has in her stories are people I would love to meet.   Pick it up and start reading.  I myself want to get more of her books as I really like her style of writing.
     We are still going to the gym and let me say right off the bat, I still love it and will continue to go but right now I am so down about it all I just want to go to my bedroom crawl under my bed (I can't really do that as it's full under there) and cry.  Yes, that's right cry.  I have been going to the gym since the middle of April and I have lost 2, count them 2 pounds.  Let me explain.  When I first started my weight was 155.  Then after about a month and a half my weight was 159.  THAT'S RIGHT!  I gained 4 pounds.  O.K.  they explained to me you are getting stronger (which I am) and you are turning fat into muscle (which I am).  So I kept plugging away, not missing a day and really trying harder every time I was there.
 After another month I lost the 4 pounds and was at my starting weight.  In July I lost 5 pounds (I'm not kidding, 5 pounds).  The next week my weight was 154.  Now come ON!.  What is up with this.  This is the last week in August and my  weight is again down to 152.  I swear it is so depressing.  Well, I really haven't got to the depressing part yet but first let me say when I was 150, I really felt smaller.  You know what I mean.  My tummy really felt smaller, I was so excited then bam, over night it seemed to sneak right back on.  I know what you are thinking it must be what she is eating.  Let me clear this up.  My diet or I should say my eating habits consist of vegetables, basmati rice with a little olive oil.  I eat one egg, 1 piece of toast for breakfast with coffee.  Yes, I do have the occasional burger out (which I only eat half) and one slice of vegie pizza.  Believe me when I say I do not over indulge.  According to WW I am at or just under my points for a day.  Now you want to hear the really depressing part.   Jim has lost 20, count them, 20 pounds !!  Enough said.   Tootles
