Well I did it. I wanted to reach 40 pounds lost by the end of July and I did it! Another 1.2 pounds gone this week for a total of 40.4.
I am so proud of myself. Went and got my hair cut to celebrate. I know, it doesn't seem like much of a reward..... but a good reward to me non the less. I will reward myself with some shopping when I reach 50 pounds and I hope to see that by the end of September. I don't like to make my goals too far into the future. I find the mini goals make it so much easier than looking at the big picture.
My Journey to a Thinner, Healthier Me
About Me
- tweetybrrd
- I was born June 18th, 1961 on Father's Day to Earl & Martha Sibbald. Was raised in the township of Wainfleet where my parents still live in the house my father built. I have 1 younger brother. I graduated Port Colborne High School in 1978 and went on to Sheridan college where I studied animated cartooning. Do to major problem with my knees and many surgeries, I never completed my college education at Sheridan. I took piano lessons when I was younger and even won a Gold Medal in the Niagara Falls Kawanis Music Festival. I went on to learn how to play many instruments including, baritone sax, mandolin, acoustic and electric guitar, bass guitar and bit of the banjo. I went on the road with a band from Oshawa for 3 years, playing all over Ontario before moving back to Niagara, living in Welland and played bass guitar in a few local bands for about 15 years. I Love to draw & paint. I am self taught in crocheting and I love all kinds of crafty things to do.

Came through here via your post to GLBT WW. Glad you joined us. I'm nannygoatstrut and generally don't post a lot. I had gone to WW for over 4 years before I found out about this group.
It's always good when your partner joins in with you, I think. Nobody's trying to hold you back or getting jealous that you're getting your life in order.
Posting has been kind of slow this summer, so maybe you can liven things up.
Take care.
Hi Marcia,
Jennifer from the group. I saw the link to your blog so I thought I would check it out. You have a nice family and all I can say is God Bless your mom! great job on the WL!
Jennifer
