So, I ended June at 207.4, which is a 46.6 pound loss. I think I restarted sometime last July, so it's been a slow but steady journey. It looks to be about a pound a week (average), which is right where WW wants you to be. My next short term goal is to get under 200, which I can hopefully achieve by Labor Day. Then, the goal will be 179.8, which will be no longer obese! After that, I haven't thought about, since the last time I wasn't considered obese was before #2 daughter was born, and she's going to be 20 this fall.
My birthday was on Monday, so that's another milestone that has come and gone. I'm now 53, and I've been eligible to join AARP for the past few years. Although, I'm resisting it with every core of my being, I can "feel" that I'm not a young chicken anymore. My 35th high school reunion is coming up in a few weeks. Hubby and I are making the trek to Ohio to attend. It's going to be a rather informal affair, and that's a good thing. So, I have a skirt I need to fix (bought it w/o trying it on, and it's TOO BIG! and too long, but both those things can be remedied), so I don't need to get a new outfit. I may indulge in a new pair of shoes, but then I've been told that I have too many shoes anyway.
So, other than trying to figure out how to meet up with my brother, things are moving right along. Hubby and I have gone to several Renegades games (local minor league baseball team -- lots of fun to go to the games) and have tickets to several more. Then we take the kid back to Oneonta for her second year of college. Time keeps whizzing past faster and faster these days. And while my knees aren't being kind to me these days, I'm happy to be here, and so thankful that hubby has agreed to go on this journey with me. Granted, he's lost 60+ pounds, and started 3 months after I did, but he's keeping me honest and on track!
