Nov. 16

It seems that I have inspired Curtis. After seeing me not eat dinner at Fresh Choice, he's decided to try it--to not eat after 5:00 or before. The first day he didn't eat after lunch, silly man, really believe "no pain no loss!"

Since then he's been reasonable.

Last week he called me from the road and said he was suffering from acid reflux and that he would go to the doctor about it when he got back. I suggested at the time that he not eat such big dinners. This morning he told me "I cured him" because he's had no more startling nights of reflux. heh heh. He weighed this morning, and while he hadn't weighed at his top, he was down 1 from our start, and that has to mean he'd dropped 3-5 pounds in about 5 days. He does that. pout. Not only am I not eating late, but I"m not eating sugar. And I'm poking along way slower than I'd prefer!!!

Anyway, I'm really really really glad he's back in the game.

Josh's life as he knew it will never be the same. Football is over. Today he has his first day of getting out of school at 2:00. He doesn't have a 6th period. So he's taking the train home and it stops 2 miles from our house. I suggested to him that he plan to walk home, or even jog, for his exercise, but I'd pick him up at the station if it were raining or he was tired or whatever. I hope he can continue to loose, or at least maintain. Beautiful man child.
