Lost 5.5 pounds since July 3

Saturday wasn't bad. Sunday was dismal - only 5 cars stopped and only one person bought a saucepan. Didn't sell ANY furniture, but not surprised. Brown, heavy, antique furniture is not popular right now.

I try to get out and take a walk twice a day around the neighborhood, weather permitting. There are gentle slopes, and each walk takes me about 20 minutes. Probably doesn't burn as many calories as I would wish.

You would be the poster child for my doctor. His latest thing is telling everyone to walk for 45 minutes a day.

Do you enjoy having garage sales?

I had one once, with my best friend, and I hated everything about it. Now I just give stuff away; anything to avoid selling anything.
 
re Weight Loss...

Please note that the more extreme diets can be quite a cardiac stress. So, there are cautions for seniors doing dieting.

Generally, the best advice is always to bring your doctor into the loop and have him approve your diet plans.

And it goes to more than just weight loss.


Will you get enough protein? minerals? electrolytes?

Yes and no. I don't like the hard work involved setting up, packing up, waiting for people to show up, dealing with people that could find fault with Jesus and then expect should be giving away everything. One time I had a woman comment that items garage sales should all be free since they're things you don't want anyway. (Hey lady, it's a garage SALE, not a garage give-away!) I do like the extra money. I usually make enough to offset the cost of one week's worth of groceries.
 
I have intentionally lost 35 pounds during July, August, and September, down from 265, to 230 today. How ? A 1000 calorie a day meal plan. My target weight is 200 pounds by the end of 2022. The down side is having to buy new smaller underwear, and a new waist belt. Not such a bad thing, is it ? JimB.
