Forty-Nine and Feelin' Fine

What a wonderful string of days I've had! My son and daughter-in-law are the proud parents of healthy girl who joins her 5-year old brother in being the center of my family's attentions. Yesterday was Mother's Day and brought more pleasant surprises. My sons and daughter-in-law never asked for suggestions this year and came up with perfect gifts that brought tears to my eyes. It isn't what they gave (which would make many people wonder what the heck is that and why did she want them) but that they've listened over the years and knew what would be perfect.

Today was my 49th weigh in and that was good too. I'm down another 1.4 pounds for a total of 66.4. Wheeee!!  The big surprise today that put me over the top of this four day span of wonderfulness was two people, one before the meeting and one after, telling me that I had inspired them. I think I may have stared at them, slack jawed before remembering to smile and say thank you.

Wow.

Today's discussion was great. Mind you, they are all good but human nature being what it is, some discussions don't engage everyone. I think today's topic of getting rid of the weeds in our garden of success got everyone going.

Hard to believe I'm coming up on my one year anniversary at WW. This isn't my first go-round with WW, but I think this will be the last time I re-join. My mindset is so different now and the program is very easy for me. I won't have lost all that I intend to lose in one year, but I didn't regain it all in a year either.

Life is good.
My life is fun.
I no longer think about what I should fix for dinner or what I shouldn't eat. I have healthy choices on hand and decide when I'm hungry what I will fix, not obsess all day about it. Food is becoming just food. Necessary for nutrition and some tastes better than others, but it has a much smaller place in my life.

Here is a before and current photo.

 

Onward and downward!
