We have been running, too. It's hard for me, but I am determined. We've been working on it for the last two years, with a big break for our move. I have finally hit three miles without stopping, and feel like a wimp compared to you. It's nice to think of all of my running heroes while I am out there wondering if I can make the next hill. You keep me going! Congratulations, Steven! We have been running, too. It’s hard for me, but I am determined. We’ve been working on it for the last two years, with a big break for our move.

The primary reason that it actually costs so much ($10 for a paperback) is because they print the book on demand. There is no guarantee that the book will ever sell even 10 copies, so why would they mass produce it? In fact, I honestly would be happy if he sold 100 books to his closest friends, primarily former parishioners who he is mailing letters to about it. The reason they can sell most paperbacks for between $7 and $8 is because they mass produce them at a cost of less than $1 per book. These books actually cost $5 to produce, and Lulu adds $1.50 for their profit, and Grandpa gets $3.50 for his royalties. So because they print upon receiving an order, the book ships straight from Lulu to you. Grandfather never sees the books. Unfortunately that is not possible.

Keep up the great work. But you need to up you Caleries. 815 cal is not enough for for a 100 lb woman little lone a great big man. For your hieght and gender your cal intake to lose lb's should be 1600-2000, depending on level of activity. By the way I love you Weight loss chart. Can you put something like that on a blog? I would love to use it myself. BTW did you get your package? Love you Wow! Keep up the great work.

Glad to hear you get one book in each week. Other than scriptures, not so much reading around here for me. It took me since you left to finish the book I was reading. I'm onto a new one my Aunt Diana insisted I would love called "The Shack," but I am in a very sad, too close to nightmares, never should happen part near the beginning. I am not sure I want to finish it, but feel like it will be worth it if I can get through a few more chapters so I will probably trudge on with tears and all. Keep on reading. By the way, although the numbers are much smaller here, I bet I have enough reading material for a year or more too.
