Swim

There were a few new people walking in the River Walk today-I wondered if they were teachers off school.  The regulars where all there and everyone does something different.  There is a lady who holds her hands out of the water, because the chlorine wrecks her nails so she puts them on her shoulders.  There is "tan lady" who has a dark spray tan that just  makes her look older.  She and another lady walk for an hour every morning with the current and against the current.  There is a younger woman who brings her father and helps him exercise.  I always think that is so nice.  There is "fast man" who weaves in and out of everyone but stops to talk to the ladies.  There is a woman who wasn't there today because she went on an Alaskan cruise.  And...there is me...I am the only one who actually gets my hair wet by swimming and walking.  It is always interesting to see the mix of people.
Today was weigh-in day and I lost another two pounds this week which is a total of 9 3/4 pounds.  In all fairness, I think it is because of a new medication I am on that is bothering my stomach and I am not hungry.  I will gain some of it back I am sure.  I have been mostly gluten-free also, but that is a hard one. 
I am six weeks into the "no sugar" diet and really don't miss it much.  I got some yummy Michigan strawberries yesterday at the farmer's market.  We will see how I do at the pizza, cake birthday party for Ms. Riles tonight.  I am making the cake :)
