I had my regular Thursday weight loss class tonight. The good news is that I'm down another 5 pounds for a total of 43.8 in 52 days, so I'm still averaging almost a pound a day and about 5-6 pounds a week, which is fantastic. I'm very, very pleased with my progress. I was worried about this week because my exercise was down due to the infections (see previous post). I'm hoping to get back into my exercise in the next day or two.
I'm thoroughly enjoying my daily entree. The food is actually really, really good. Seriously. Everything is made with natural ingredients and is tasty. They are actually pretty filling even though they are small, or maybe that's because my stomach has shrunk. One entree and a cup of soup at dinner leaves me quite full. Having something to actually eat (besides the oatmeal which I still love) and some variety has made a world of difference.
Ok, now for the scary incident. I got stuck in the elevator tonight going up to my class. I've never gotten stuck in an elevator before and it was really scary. I was with two other people from my class, so I'm glad I wasnt' alone. One of them was the loudmouth guy with the strange personality (remember him?) and he was so calm and reassuring -- go figure the one with the attitude turns out to be a hero! It was completely pitch black, I mean you couldn't see your hand in front of your face, and the phone didn't work. I was on the verge of total panic, but he reassured me that they knew we were in there, they were getting help, we wouldn't run out of air and it would be fine. He said, "let's just sit down and tell ghost stories." After about 10 minutes, the lights came on and the elevator shot down to the basement, but still nothing happened. We pushed "door open" but nothing. I suggested that we push the "basement" button since that's where it said we were and the door opened. We had to walk up 2 extra flights of stairs to get where we were going (should've taken the stairs in the first place, but I was carrying a heavy bag!) and then we were ok. NOT a fun experience.
On other news, we had a nice Rosh Hashanah holiday this week. The kids are enjoying their break. Jacob and Michela have been enjoying a cooking camp in the mornings (except not Rosh Hashanah) with their friends and lots of playdates. Harrison has hung out some with his friends, is doing some extra credit and hanging around. We've also been doing some Bar Mitzvah stuff and he finalized a plan for his Mitzvah project, which is exciting. He's going to be helping underprivileged elementary kids with their reading at a place called The Family Resource Center in Santa Ana. He's going to go once a week for about an hour. There are other things he's thinking of incorporating into the project as well, like fundraising to be able to provide the funds to send one of the kids he works with to summer camp.
That's all for now!

That is fantastic! What an achievement!
I have nightmares about elevators!
The place where you have your class should be reponsible for the elevator. I think there were a few codes that were broken. I would suggest making an offiial complaint.

Hope you are feeling better. My dad got a staph infection from the gym a few weeks ago too. Not a good thing. Keep drinking tons of water to flush your system. And keep up the good work!!!!

It is so exciting to read about your progress! But what a bummer on the infection and exercise--especially when you establish a routine and build up your endurance. Hope those antibiotics do the trick fast!
Oh, man, I would have FREAKED about that elevator. I'm so glad that you all didn't have to shimmy up the elevator cables like in some movie!
