It's better to go down a pound a day than up. And that's the truth.

I'm up two and a half pounds in three days.  We ate out for dinner with our friends Jonathan and Susan and Cathy and Tom at Chef John's just up the road.  I had been there before, but Mark had not.  It was great.  Mark and I ordered two different grouper entrees and shared them.  I also had a bit of Cathy's Key Lime Pie.  Today we will be eating lunch out in old Kissimmee.  I bet tomorrow's weight report will not be as good as I had hoped.  Maybe not even a loss for the week. 

I did my weight routine and walked 20 minutes on the treadmill on an incline.  That was good for me, but I think there was a lot of sodium in the fish dishes.  We will see how today goes.

Cathy helped me glue one coat of puzzle glue on my alligator. It dried up great. I will put a second coat on today.  I'm wondering how the tagboard under it is going to stick.  My plan was to flip it over, take the tagboard off, and then glue the back before gluing the tagboard to the back. Now I'm thinking the glue has seeped through the cracks and around the edges so much that the tagboard may be pretty well glued down to the back already.  Once all the gluing is done, we are going to use my new exacto knife to cut around the edges and hang it on the wall.  By the end of the week, I hope it's on the wall. If so, there will be a picture.

Meanwhile, we are all still watching the news about the bombs in Boston at the end of the marathon race.  After Evey and Eric lived in Boston for five years, we all feel a love for that city.  It is just inconceivable what has happened.  Our hearts go out to all those who have been affected by this tragedy.
