Fasting day #39. After all that talking about the colonoscopy prep, my digestive system must have overheard, because yesterday (after weigh-in), I actually had a bowel movement! It had been 32 days since I had had one, and it was a nice, normal movement (with just a little oomphing). End result: down 1-1/2 pounds this morning! Hooray and praise the Lord! 208. Only 9 pounds left to lose before the challenge ends in 18 days.

These last six days have been wonderful! Down 1/2, down 1/2, down 1-1/2, down 1/2, down 1, down 1-1/2. But, as you'll remember, this came after five days of gaining and losing the same 1/2 pound. Never know what to expect on this wild roller coaster ride! I've been doing the same thing, whether it results in my losing or staying the same. I am learning "in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content." I would LOVE to be able to check this lesson off the lesson plan, and move on to the How to be a Gracious and Humble Victor lesson!

My green beans are puny, but seem like they are going to yield at least "something." Maybe they are pacing themselves to coincide with my actually being able to EAT them, lol.

The pool continues to be a pain in the posterior. We have huge trees on either side of it, and the pollen is off the charts in Virginia this season, so LOTS of stuff falls into the pool. Even though we have a solar cover on it, there is about a 6" swath around the circumference it that is uncovered and everything falls into that space, and either floats on top or sinks to the bottom. Grandkids coming over at 10:30 this morning, so I guess I'll have to go out about 8:30 and vacuum it so it will be nice for them.

After losing 51 pounds so far this year, I'm starting to notice the weight loss. My neck doesn't look as fat. My stomach is still big, but it's big and "flat" instead of big and bulging. My pajamas are more comfortable. Little things, but they are very welcomed!
