One Year


Well, it has now been 1 full year since I started this journey. I have officially lost 72 lbs and 32.5 inches. I actually gained 1 pound this week, not quite what I planned but oh well, today starts a new week. I took the day off work today for my birthday and I'm planning to go get a pedicure, go shopping in the States with my sister and my niece and then go for dinner. The celebrations don't stop there. I'm going out with my "Pilots" friends on Friday night. Saturday night, a group of us are going to a play. Sunday, we're going to White Rock for the afternoon and out for dinner for three of us to celebrate our birthdays. Hopefully all this going out won't be too bad for my weight loss because this journey is not over.

Barb,
First, the new layout is great!

Next, Congratulations on one year! You have delved into quite a commitment and are doing superbly (is that a word?!) well! 72lbs & 32.5"! Wow! You are an inspiration to Jeremy & I and I am sure to many others.

And finally, Happy Birthday! Knowing you have lost all this weight must be a wonderful birthday present! Enjoy your birthday weekend and just make responsible choices each time you have eat! I know - easier said than done!

Keep going strong; don't get discouraged that you're not finished yet; take things one day at a time but keep your eyes on the final prize (hmm, sounds like a bible verse).

Cheering for you,
Leanne
