A Lavish Week!

Well folks, Rhonda and Bill are back from their 25^th Anniversary Celebrations. They had a lot of activities. 7 web sites worth of activities! They stayed in 3 different fancy hotels rooms, attended a 2 day seminar for Bill’s work, and Bill was a presenter for part of one of those days, and they transported and arranged 18 dozen cookies. They attended 3 lavish banquets, 2 of which were awards banquets. They traveled through 4 counties and did things in 3 counties. One wouldn’t be surprised if they returned from such a trip having gained 5 to 10 pounds each. The actual result? Rhonda maintained her same weight as last week at 245 pounds and Bill lost 2 pounds from last week, coming in at 263.

How did they do it? They baked chicken and made a huge batch of tasty low fat chicken salad and took it with them. They also made 4 dozen delicious whole wheat low fat, low refined carbohydrate muffins and ate them all during the trip. And they ate plenty of whole wheat bread, apples, oranges, and tomatoes. Above is a picture of Rhonda eating a piece of whole wheat bread in the majestic Taj Mahal room at the Anniversary Inn in Logan where they stayed one of the nights. 2 of the 3 banquets were buffets and Bill and Rhonda made healthy choices with the foods they selected. They turned down high fat breakfasts and gave away cookies and cheese cake they were given by the hotels. They maintained their schedule at the gym as much as possible and Bill’s presentations involved a lot of audience participation and he got quite a workout as he was constantly moving to get close to the people who were commenting.

And here are the set point scores for this past week:

Rhonda: (S) 95 (S) 100 (M) 100 (T) 78 (W) 98 (T) 48 (F) 100

Bill: (S) 98 (S) 100 (M) 100 (T) 80 (W) 100 (T) 100 (F) 100

We’ll be anxious to learn what their measurements are on Tuesday, the end of March as compared to the end of February.

Answer to last weeks poll: Bill weighted exactly 200 pounds on the day he was married.
