Day 829
What a relief! This morning I stepped onto the bathroom scale to see that my weight has dropped below 280 lbs. for the fist time in nearly three weeks. This is my fourth day in a row that my weight is down, and I am happy to be back below that horrible number. I hope…

Day 819
I moved into a hotel last night for a few days because Leslie has allowed a houseguest to stay longer than she expected, and with that when Leslie’s son is home there is just not enough room for all of us. It was planned a few days ago and is temporary. The fact that everyone…

Day 816
Today is my first full day in Dallas, after a long travel day yesterday. I was up at 2:30am to be at the airport for a really early flight, but all went well. No, I did not eat particularly well… but I also did not eat particularly badly either. This morning I stepped onto Leslie’s…

Day 815
Okay, change of plans: I am flying to Dallas this morning and not waiting until next Saturday. Why? My wife is having trouble with something that I can help her with, and nothing else matters. You do not mess with my family. She and I have had our issues, but we are working on them…

Day 803
I got back to my apartment at 2:00am and decided it was better to start packing before I went to sleep, rather than rushing it and trying to do everything in the morning. It was not at all surprising that although I came down with two suitcases that weighed 60 lbs. each and two carry-ons…

Day 802
As expected, my fitness watch battery died yesterday. Oh well! Today is my last complete day in Havana. Add to that, I have to try to teach tonight! I am not sure if my plan will be successful but I am going to try. I’ve been walking a lot, eating mostly well, and hope to…

Day 801
I slept more last night than I have been but am more tired today than I have been all week. I think I’m going to take a nap!
