This morning I got on the scales and found that I weighed only 187 lbs. I have been doing my exercise only two to three times per week and eating only a couple of meals per day. It seems that when I have a snack after I get home from work and then have dinner, too, the best I can do is break even. So, if I eat a rice bowl for lunch and a good health dinner at night, followed by forty minutes on the Nordic Track, my weight moves down. I need to have a little more will power!

Only a week until Lauro and Conchita arrive. Lorena is really getting the house fixed up quite nicely. It looks like we will have to wait at least another week before Dad gets here to do the patio as his helper Cayatano has to stay with his wife who is not well and about to have a baby.
