I’m two months in a row for meeting my monthly goals! At the end of March, I said I wanted to lose five pounds in April. I knew that with two family birthdays (including mine) and Easter chocolate temptations, it would be difficult to lose much more than that. Well, in April [...]
The scale told me 203 yesterday, and 202 today. I like the direction I’m moving, albeit ever so slowly. I still need to eke out one more pound before the end of April to meet my monthly goal.
I started thinking at lunch today — there are 35 weeks left in the year. [...]

new comments that repeat or copy old ones
I’ll have to apologize for not catching more of the comments that recently came through. They looked *legit* but were actually just spammers re-commenting the exact same words as previous comments to the same blog entries.
