It is 91 degrees of Texas heat, no humidity, just hot!
I finished driving us to our destination. When Pops woke up we went walking. I walked 2 more miles with him and he logged 4.84.

Day 54
I walked up and down the steep banks of this rest area today while Pops napped in the truck. He drove all night.

Day 53
We will get to walk in Missouri this evening. 
Tomorrow is Friday and the start of 4th of July weekend. We are predispatched on a Monday/Tuesday load, so we should be able to walk in Oklahoma tomorrow and then Texas on Saturday and Sunday.
We had salmon for supper tonight. I added some of Angie Adams' homemade salsa. It was good.
This morning we had sweet potato pancakes for breakfast with sugar free syrup.
Day 52
This is Week 8. And Pops and I are still doing ok. Next week, Week 9 is the plan for the rest of your life, after weight loss. So since we still have weight to lose, we will begin Week 1 all over again. 
I am just as excited and eager to begin. I am not tired of this diet. I feel good and it works.
Pops is walking 4+ miles each day, I walk 2 or more. We feel much better.
This is where we walked today.
Pops and I find money on the ground almost every time we walk now.
Sunday is our weigh day. I am a little worried because I have been retaining fluid. I realized that I am eating too many pickles. So I won't eat any more for now.
Also after we weigh on Sunday morning, we are going to have a day off. We are both wanting eggs. We each have only had 2 eggs in the last 8 weeks and we are craving an omelette.

Day 51
Pops and I were home on vacation. We packed so much into our short time at home.
Both of us kept up with our walking for exercise. Pops logged 4+ miles almost each day. I walked 2+ each day except for the day after I took a big spill off the treadmill.
Pops stayed on the diet plan as well. I did not. I tried to watch and be careful, but did go way over on calories at least 3 days while home.
It was hard because of eating out so often and having a big family picnic.
Pops lost 6 1/2 lbs in total while we were home. I stayed the same.
I loved walking our country road with my daughter's dog on the leash. There is such peace in our valley at the top of the mountain. I wish I could walk there everyday.
So here we are, back on the road as of last evening. And back to the diet plan for me and back to walking all different places.

Day 38
Day 3 in a row of low low calories and then walking off 200 calories, we are hungry. But not so hungry that we can't stand it.
Tomorrow our calorie level will be increased slightly for the next 4 days. I am sure it will feel noticeable.
We spent many hours today fighting Chicago traffic. That distracted us from being hungry. We had to drive through it to get to our pickup then back through it after we picked up.
Pops is looking good and his energy is really high. My energy is too. And I think that both of us are sleeping better.
We talked tonight about this plan. We both want this to be our lifestyle forever. I have never ever felt that way about any diet before.
Here is Chicago as we were coming back out.
