Weight Loss Plan...visit us!

I was just recently reading Pastor Scott's blog and how he uses his blog as an accountability tool in the transformation of the "chubby little hunchback (a description cheekily used of him by his daughter)." My recommendation for a great weight-loss plan to him was to come and visit us in Indonesia. Yes, Tris is standing straight and tall and is tightening his stomach muscles a bit, but even if he was completely letting loose, those shorts still hang saggy baggy around his hips. This is a result of a complete change in lifestyle, one that we appreciate but have not necessarily "pursued:" change of diet, less food intake (not as willing to eat big meals in the heat), walking/bussing everywhere we go, attending a school with many floors and only stairs/ramps, a more active lifestyle between 6 am-6 pm (after which we morph into slug-bellies and lay around the house until bedtime: 8:30 pm). However, I must admit...we have recently discovered a donut place that I think is called JCo. and it is equivalent to Crispy Creme (according to US ex-pats)...and ALMOST equivalent to Cumberland Bakery (aka Auchterlonie's). In one week we've had 24 donuts pass through the mouths of only 4 people...that is kind of scary!!

As for Pastor Scott, we're proud of the committment to exercise and lose weight he's had, because we witnessed it prior to our leaving the country. Way to go!

Thanks for reading.
