Weekly Bread #164

Sometimes a trail looks easy and turns out to be much harder after you get half way up a steep part. You need to place your feet carefully on the loose rocks and plant your hiking poles in firm ground. There is always a risk of sliding back down the hill. The hardest thing, I have found, is stopping midway up. Once I stop, I can lose my nerve. Well, stopping itself isn’t so hard; what’s hard is getting going again. There is a morale somewhere in that. Or maybe just a metaphor.

I gained .1 pounds this week. Can’t get much closer to a dead stop than that.

L’Chaim!

My average weight this week is up .1 pounds for a total loss of 161.1.
