  Summary of Progress (Week 7) So overall, this was a good week, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. I received Holy Unction and Communion, attended several services as Holy Week passed into Great and Holy Pascha, the feast of feasts and the most joyous time of the Christian calendar. I went out to lunch with my family which was very enjoyable. I kept up with my workouts, finishing up round 1 of Super PHIIT, and adding on a nearly 10 mile walk in the woods with the dog, which was most enjoyable and    mentally refreshing. My weight loss has slowed, though is still creeping along, but I do feel stronger and overall better. Life is good.
