The Weight Loss Journey

A month ago today, I started my weight loss journey. I was diagnosed with NASH liver disease and high cholesterol. I knew I had the cholesterol problem, but the NASH disease pushed me to finally do something about my weight.

I am not on a specific diet...just making healthier choices, cutting way back, drinking water, and cutting back on diet coke. I plan to begin my walking program on Monday.

To date...I have lost 15 pounds. I can tell in my clothes and when I see pictures of myself.
My goal..30 pounds by Christmas. I'll keep you posted.

Watermelon

Early in the summer, Rebecca decided we needed to grow a watermelon plant. It started out in a container the size of a dixie cup.

Eric planted it in our flower bed and it has taken over the spot beside the patio.

Here is a baby watermelon:

Here's the big daddy of them all.

I noticed this morning that there are two more growing. Now if I only knew how to tell if they are ready to pick. I hope they tasted good.
