I’m afraid I’ve hit the dreaded “Wall” or plateau in my weight loss journey. In fact, I’ve bounced around between a 2 lb. fluctuation (back & forth) for the past week, but I think I have a valid excuse. Last Monday, we got some heart breaking news, that my wife’s precious father (who was also one of my dearest friends) had suddenly passed away.
Therefore, before I go further excusing myself for the current state of my fatness, I’d like to say that I will very much miss Lt Col Roger Lee Feaster, USAF (Ret). He was a wonderful Husband, Father, Grandfather and Friend, a staunch Patriot, and a faithful & tireless servant of Christ.
In short, he was the epitome of integrity. I think I can truly say that he is one of the few people that I’ve known in my half century of life, that I wish my life could emulate.
So, Wednesday began a week of eating airport food on the go, and 5 days of funeral food.
Funeral Food deserves to be it’s own food group in and of itself. It is almost always homemade as well as made with a great amount of love. It is eaten standing up and is impossible to measure any volume of calories on each plate. I will admit that, to my dismay, I didn’t see a single deviled egg the entire week. In my case, that was probably a good thing. I’m a deviled egg junkie…
But, needless to say, I sampled almost everything else and fell off the diet wagon.
Today is a new day, and hopefully, will have some progress to show when I go in for Weigh Day on Friday.
Denning,
