I have my mom's cat times two months now. The dog jumped onto my bed last night and slept all night on the bed, which surprised me... I think she is a bit jealous of the cat - when I first got the cat it slept on the bed a few times. I need to go shopping today, I hope a friend takes me or it's on the bus tomorrow. My fourth book is near done in its typewritten first draft, it is about my time in the military. I will be sending out all four books to literary agents next month to see if I can get an agent for one of them and then hopefully I will be able to get a multiple book deal. I have a handwritten fifth book of short stories that needs to be typed and edited so I hope to have that done too by year's end... the dieting is going OK - I am not exercising enough but with Atkins one loses weight anyway. I will likely join the Y this week and go at least a few times a week. I am likely to buy a condo in the late summer or fall. It is almost 1400 square feet (plus a basement I can do over too) and there are numerous new units that aren't selling so I will be able to get one with a VA loan. It is on a decent bus route and closer to the Y and stores too, so it will be easier to get around and transfer to buses that have routes to malls, etc. I hope to be at 225 by July 1. 215 by October 1. I can do it on Atkins, I have done it before...

I am finally back on track. In April I put on weight and it is gone now. I am eating NO wheat products, but I am not going overboard trying to figure out everything that has gluten since even salad dressing can have it. I am back on low carb and it is working. I am less hungry. If I get fast food I just take the bun off a sandwich, and Burger King has onion rings... I live in New England and Friendly's has some low-carb friendly salads. I walked the other day, rain looming today so it is likely no long walk.

Weigh-in: 235.0 lb

lost so far: 0.2 lb

still to go: 30.0 lb

Diet followed reasonably well

I am doing OK. Full force on the low carb and I imagine I will lose about two pounds a week. I want to below 220 by September and it is probable. I am on meds that cause a slow metabolism. I will go for a walk today or this evening. I am 6 foot two but I do need to lose... Hi to all my buddies. Nice weather - 60s Fahrenheit today.

I am doing OK... I was surprised today (as a former Air Force medic and LPN) about confusing misinformation put out by the CDC on their website areas. Some of their doctors are apparently not specialists and are as ignorant as the uneducated. It had to do with an illness... I posted on it repeatedly on FB. It is too long to tell, but sometimes only a specialist in one area needs to put in info - not some nitwit general practitioner. ---------- I am on low carb. I am doing well. Lots of rain today, no walk - it is pouring out and we need the rain anyway - but it has been an unusually cold and cool spring here. Take care everyone and I will try to get on buddies' journals soon. I have been on here since like 2007... off and on... and staying on here is good for maintenance but I need to lose now.

Hi, all. I am doing OK. On Easter I ate too much. But since then I have been doing low carb. Yesterday I went on a very long car ride through the Berkshires. If I get published I will build a log cabin up there or move to a campground in summer and buy a mobile home or trailer of sorts. I have back issues and arthritis pain. But I am OFF the narcotics - seven weeks now. I refuse to take them, as everyone I know that is on them gets very ill and sicker too. I will take extra hot showers... I have found magnesium helps a lot. Quercetin too - and that is good for allergies also. And lots of Turmeric, Ginger Root, Boswellia, etc. I take B Complex too. Valerian Root is the BEST thing for sleep - by FAR and less side effects, and a deep sleep too, but a bit bizarre on dreams. I am beginning to lose. Today - rain outside and it is cold - we have not had a warm spring here in New England. I adopted my mom's cat. She is a riot. Very loving and a bit of a pest. I will lie down on my couch and she will find me and start licking my face. The dog is a bit jealous, but they are getting used to each other. I have had her about five weeks now - no one else wanted her and I have her, she is black and white - a long-hair and quite the talker, she may be half-Siamese. I will be moving nearby to a better location on a bus route - many, many new townhouse condos for sale... and I hope to get one and they aren't selling fast so there will be one available for me to bid on the next few months. My lease is up the end of November, I hope to move in the fall and pay off the lease... I may join the Y in the next few months... for now it is a bit far with a bad back... but I should get in there at least a few times a week to swim. I hope everyone is well and I will try to spend more time on here than FB as this site is more productive, so to speak - my writing is going well too. Not published yet, I will send three books out soon to literary agents through query letters. A fourth book will be done this summer.
