The scale is finally moving again after a month of frustration. Just proves if you stay your course and understand this is not a diet but a way of life, everything works out. On sadder news, we are laying my Granddad to rest today. He was a WWII vet, caring, kind, generous and someone I looked up to. Nothing will replace him but he will always be in my heart with the fondest memories. Hug your family everyday and tell them you love them!

@BlueFront thank you! Granddad was alao in the Navy. Served on a minesweeper and lucky for him made it to head chef so he has special perks (he liked to tell of his stories 😊). He was 17 when he enlisted, a farm by from Georgia and knew nothing. He served his time and came to Californian to marry my Grammie and the rest is history.

@tinast My Dad enlisted at a very young age too. My Grandmother actually had to sign a waiver, or some such papers, before the Navy would take him. He was a Chief Petty Officer. As a child, I thought his first name was 'Chief' since that's what everyone called him. 😀 Until the day he died my Mom called him Chief whenever he'd start to lose his temper over something. I can still hear her saying, "Now Chief, calm down!" Too make this diet related: Dad was tall and slim. Those rare times he did put on a few pounds he'd just stop eating bread and potatoes for a week or so and the pounds would slip right off. Unfortunately I take after my Mom, the pounds stick like glue on me.
