YES!!!!!!!!!!!!! Today is the most special day of my life! I made goal with .8 pounds to spare.
I am so much on cloud nine right now (although I am home alone and no one to celebrate with right now except the dog!)
It has been a long hard journey to get to this point, and not all weeks have been great. There were many ups and downs along the way but the main thing I always kept saying to myself is..... Marsha, You are worth it. You can and WILL do it.
My journey with WW will be for a lifetime. I will work through the 6 weeks of mainenance and then I will become a LIFETIME member. This means a whole new mindset now. Wanting to see the scales read the same weight or close to it, every week.
This is not the end of my blog as this is a lifelong journey and I hope those of you that come to read my blog will enjoy reading how my life progresses through maintenance and becoming a lifetime member.
New pics will be here by the weekend!
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.
