I was probably at my heaviest.

Having the drink I picked up earlier... now realizing it is called Java Monster... reminds me of the scene in a Tyler Perry movie where the actress turned down a drink called Poison, or was it Lava?

A post by Visit Guyana on Facebook reminded me of #black pudding and #whitepudding

I like the #fruit

#Wings from #PapaJohns
#weight loss #PhD #phdlife #decisions

#Wings from #PapaJohns... I like to order wings rather than pizza because wings have less calories and fat, of course... but they are not as filling... tradeoffs
#PhD #phdlife

I just noticed that PayShare by #PapaJohns is powered by #Venmo. Interesting that I did not stumble upon it (or notice it) in the past.

My recent review of Venmo:

#Tree #stump

Back at my apt community... just noticed a tree was cut down...reminds me of that Bible verse about the tree stump with chains

One stop #CatholicCharities

Bright and cloudy day here in #Gainesville #FL

Megabus showed up... I'm still waiting for my bus
#Gainesville #FL

Just arrived at #RosaParksBusStation...now need to take another bus (not a long distance bus such as #Megabus)...could do with some food right now

Just a few days ago,  I was walking along this route

On a bright note... I am sitting here enjoying the wood counter... I am from a "wood" town... there were streets named after woods... Mora, Greenheart,  Purpleheart,  Moraballi etc.

#Starbucks...sorry for the mess

Oh oh, I made a mess in #Starbucks... Ordered a (small) tall coffee $1.95...it spilled when I was getting cream,  nutmeg, cinnamon... #day of accidents #PhD #phdlife

My #ramen #soup did not look like this.  I like how this looks. Impressive!

Lemon meringue pie... is topped with meringue (so has a topping). Or does it have a "cover"?...just thoughts
#PhD #phdlife

Wish I was having this right now

Ramen #soup for lunch.  I think the roast #chicken flavor is the best.

I missed the family cookout & the good Guyanese food...hope to make it next time...

Physical activity

Today, I decided to blog/talk about my physical activity that contributed to my weight loss. During the past few months, I increased my physical activity. Sometimes I go to the gym (the convenient gym at my apartment community), sometimes I walk around my apartment community and sometimes I walk around Gainesville. Years ago, walking was difficult. I remember saying no to my coworkers who walked around DC daily (at lunchtime). Back then, when I walked a lot, my back hurt. I think the weight caused that. Now, I walk a lot with little problems. It is an accomplishment!

Here are some photos from a recent walk. I was on an overpass looking at traffic on the I-75.

Those photos of vehicles (on the I-75) reminded me of photos I took in Laurel, MD. I was out with my father.
