    7 hours at the ballpark complex today. Actually, 2 of my grandsons had tournament games today, the other is one is 6 that they moved up a level.

    Gramps got his fill of baseball today for sure ;-)

    Thank God I'm able to be home like this to watch them. I'm sure when I'm on my deathbed, I won't be lamenting that I didn't just run one more load.

    My Mom was a nurse. She once said “I never heard someone on their deathbed wishing they worked more.”

    Good on ya for finding time for Grandkids. I bet they’ll appreciate it even more 30 years from now.

    Okay, I hit the 10 week reset button mark a couple of days ago.

    Feeling great. My blood pressure average is right on. I noticed yesterday while walking around the baseball complex where my grandson's had a tournament, that my shortness of breath walking a good distance from the parking lot and around the complex, had diminished significantly from what is was just a few weeks ago.

    Which stands to reason since I've dropped 47lbs in the the last 10 weeks. That's like lugging around a 50lb bag of dog food everywhere.

    I know what I was feeling, but what was I thinking?...

    My intermediate goal is to lose another 53lbs and then re-evaluate from there. There is no way I can do that in another 10 or 11 weeks. I've noticed the plateaus are coming more frequently, which stands to reason.

    The Fitbit Ionic has been a nice addition to my personal tool box, I personally like it, however, let's face it, it's not the thing making me lose weight and get healthier [​IMG]

    I'm in the process of getting situated with the APAP device and will update about my experience with it as soon as I have more to share.
