Life in the Bed of a Pickup Truck

Didn't lose any weight this week, but then again, I didn't gain any, so my total lost in Round 2 is 8.6 pounds.  Trying to up the exercise and water intake to see if that helps.

Still doing the dual diet:  no sugar or white flour AND doing Weight Watchers Points Plus program.  It's pretty hard, but I don't want to get weight-related diseases.  My blood lipid numbers were trending in the wrong direction last time I saw my doctor, but I'm not diabetic or even pre-diabetic so that was good news.

Went camping with the Girl Scouts at City of Rocks State Park (which I love) and thought I'd post a picture of our very comfortable accommodations: 


This is my dad's pickup truck with a pop-up bed camper.  It has a sink, two-burner gas cooktop, and a heater.  It also has lights.  No bathroom facilities.  It comfortably sleeps three, in an emergency you could theoretically get six folks in there.  I have spent many happy nights in this camper in many great locations, the best of which was when I climbed my ONE fourteener, Mt. Elbert in Colorado.  The upper bunk is splendid for one and still works well for two.  You can avoid the expense of motels when you have something like this, though of course you can't shower in it.  But the sink allows you to wash your hair and take a sponge bath. 

This camper is appropriately named Casa Segunda (second home). 

Will post more on weight loss efforts.  Still hopeful I'll get there.
