I've made it to the end of July, and beat my goal of being under 200 by Labor Day. Yes, that's right, I've lost 10 pounds in the last 3 weeks, and I'm not sure how I managed that. I wasn't trying to lose that fast, but sometimes these things happen. I'm hoping to maintain tonight, but we'll see. So, I've been able to lose 50 pounds in about 10 months. Not bad for a middle aged, post menopausal woman, eh?
I have to go to Florida next week. My dad was sent home from the rehab center, and Mom is overwhelmed. So, I hope to be able to make good food choices when I'm there. I probably should take some easy recipes down to cook for them. This was not the way I was expecting to spend the last week of July/first week of August. I had to change a doctor's appointment, which I wasn't thrilled about.
And finally onto reunions. I went to my 35th high school reunion. While it was fun to catch up on people I haven't seen for like 35 years, it was weird watching how much everyone was drinking. I don't drink very much at all anymore, so being one of the few people sober there, was, well, sobering. The main group of kids I hung out with weren't there, so while I got to catch up with some classmates, it was a little bittersweet. Tomorrow, there is a camp staff reunion. Our camp got shut down about 8 years ago. The staff was a pretty close knit group, especially the older crowd. Since then, our Girl Scout council has merged, and no one likes the new, bigger "better" council. The good part is that for most of us, our daughters have graduated from high school and are no longer in "need" of a council. Oh well.
We just lost power for about 10 minutes, so I'm going to wrap this up, in case it goes out again. I won't be able to post next week, but we'll see what happens after that.
