Well, tomorrow marks the end of our 2nd two-week challenge - and hence the end of the first month of our diet challenge. It'll be interesting to see how we've all done, given our weekend away in Philadelphia last weekend!
I'm concerned that Mom really isn't eating enough - I think she should be getting at least 1200 calories a day, but there are many days when she's barely hitting 800. I know she thinks she should eat less because she's older & it takes more for her to lose it, but the answer to that is exercise - even mild forms thereof - not eating less. And getting her to do any of that is nigh on impossible....
As for me, I have to admit that my exercise plan has been woefully lacking this week too. I thoroughly enjoyed Philadelphia - it was a great conference, and exploring the city was very, very interesting too - but somewhere I lost my energy and my voice, and I'm still trying to find both. My voice went out on Friday afternoon & still hasn't come back - very depressing, given that it's barely a month since I recovered from my LAST bout of it, which lasted 2 long weeks. As for my energy, I feel like I've run a marathon (which, in fairness, I've never done) and haven't slept in a month - although I've actually been sleeping straight through the night. I'm not sick per se - just totally energy-less. So needless to say I have not ridden the bike at all this week (but fair shake - it was raining yesterday too...). I'm hoping the rest of this week goes better than the beginning & that I'll be able to ride it tomorrow & Friday though!
So we shall see what the scales tell us tomorrow... Hopefully the news won't be all bad, although if it is all bad for us, that means it's all good for Heifer!
