Flowers are still blooming in the neighbourhood. It has actually been quite warm the past few days,
t-shirt weather (77 F).
One of son K's friends came home from school for the long holiday weekend. Well, we almost didn't recognize him, he had lost 30 pounds since the last time we saw him some months ago. He said it was extremely difficult but he now works out 3 times a week, attends school, works at his job, and limits his carbs, focussing more on good protein. I told him it was important to try to maintain his good habits, so hopefully he will do that. He looks and feels better, understandably.
Beautiful photos, it's been cold and damp here! Have a great week, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeletegood for your son's friend!
ReplyDeleteHi Christine! I think I'm finally almost, almost caught up with what I'm supposed to be doing. I'm in the lull between storms though.
ReplyDelete30 pounds is incredible! That took incredible effort. I had trouble just losing 5 pounds. Fall already? Yikes!
30 lbs is a lot of weight to lose, I hope he can keep it up
ReplyDeleteIt's great that he was able to lose that weight and focus on living a healthier lifestyle. If he's done it for the past few months I'm sure he'll be able to keep it up.
ReplyDeleteSounds like your son's friend is doing well and taking good care of himself. That is really nice.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos and health is wealth indeed.
ReplyDeleteOh those are so pretty..My favorite one is the top one... I Like yellow :-)
ReplyDeleteLovely that you still have those pretty blooms and good for your son’s friend.
ReplyDeletePretty flowers.
ReplyDeleteLosing weight is not easy. I gained and lost 100 pounds between 2004 and 2007...it was crazy and difficult. I've managed to keep most of it off, but I still have to be careful considering my life is based on food and wine lol...the flowers are so pretty. We had t-shirt weather here too over the weekend.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful flowers! How wonderful for your son's friend.
ReplyDeleteI love your photo's here.
ReplyDeleteGood to read about your son's friend.
All the best Jan
