This is the second year that Bill was a Pink Brigade guy for the Girlfriends Run for a Cure race to raise money for breast cancer causes. Last year he walked the half marathon with Jim West. This year he ran the quarter marathon.
The real story is Bill's successful weight loss this past year. When you look at the photos from last year, it really is a "wow" moment. He has lost 90 pounds since the end of January and he looks and feels great. He has taken his health seriously and really stuck to his diet through the hospital's Weight Loss for Life program which is part of the HMR program. I also had put on several pounds and needed to lose weight so while I didn't join the program officially, I also stopped drinking alcohol, started having the shakes for breakfast and at the same entrees as he did in the evening. I have lost nearly 25 pounds which I have been thrilled with as well.
We have entered more of a maintenance phase so I have started cooking more meals but trying to emphasize few carbs, less meat and lot of veggies. I am hoping that we can maintain our weight now that we have worked so hard to get it off. Time shall tell but for now-we are very happy with our new selves.
