13 Weeks!!

It has been 13 weeks since I started this challenge to myself...here I am down 20 pounds...that is better than a pound a week!!! I started losing even before New Years Day!!

I feel so much better...today had two bonuses
1. I hit the 20 pound lost mark
2. SOMEONE NOTICED THAT I HAVE LOST WEIGHT!!!!

Wow, what a feeling. I was at work, spent some time talking to a woman who I don't see very often and when there was no one else around she said "you're doing good losing weight...I was checking it out.. you look good" I thanked her and told her how much it meant to me to have her say it. She is heavy, also and I think that those of us in that club really want to make sure that we recognize each other for our successes. It made my day!

I have a meeting on Thursday and I am hoping that I can find one of my smaller skirts that fits so I can wear it...what a great feeling that will be! I am already fitting into some of my smaller clothes. My big pants are fairly new so I am going to have them tailored rather than just get rid of them. I have some older pants that I will either throw out or give to Goodwill.

Oh happy day...I guess I don't have to beware the Ides of March...it was a great day for me!!

Happy Monday!  Not quite as cold today - but still fall-like. Left work early today to go to a Dr. appointment - now I have a little extra time to relax before heading to Celebrate Recovery tonight.  I will tell you more about this wonderful ministry some other time, but feel free to Google the name to learn more. My husband looked back at some pictures he took this summer when my sister and her husband were visiting.  My brother-in-law passed away a couple of week ago, after a battle with cancer.  DH cropped down this pic for me - I love it! Have a blessed night! Missy

August 1951...Roy's view

It was raining, but that wasn’t abnormal these days, August had been a very wet month, it seemed like it rained every day. Roy’s friend, Luther had driven to pick up his sister and her daughter and they would be stopping by any time now. Roy was glad that they were coming to visit. Over the past year, his thoughts had often turned to Ellen. He wanted an excuse to go back to Luther’s home so he could see Ellen and her sweet little daughter, Leah. Finally, he didn’t need any excuse, they were coming here! He heard a car pull up, but was disappointed to find it was just a customer pulling up for gas. His sister Peggy headed out to the pumps, but Roy stopped her. “I’ll get it,” he said, “You don’t need to go out there and get soaked.” As the day wore on, he began to think that they weren’t going to show up. “Maybe it would be tomorrow,” he thought. “You look like your waiting for someone, Roy, what’s going on?” his mother, Jane asked. “It’s just that Luther and his sister should be getting

Merry Christmas!

It has been ages since I have posted anything here....just get busy with other things and don't find the time. Thought I would stop by to say Merry Christmas!  I would also love it if you would check out my other blog -  Training Tips   I post there much more often and share tips and information about employee training...that's my work passion! We had a nice dinner in Hershey today at  Lebbie Lebkicher's  at the Hershey Lodge. Very good food ...but probably too much chocolate!  They even had chocolate balsamic vinaigrette salad dressing!!  Anyone who knows me knows I am a chocoholic but that was too much even for me!!! We were getting a cup of coffee after dinner and a little girl came up to my DH and said "Hi Santa Clause!"  He has white hair and a beard and mustache and ...ok...he is kind of shaped like Santa!  She was so cute and I think she really thought he was Santa. After that we stopped by my sister-in-law's house to exchange gifts. We had a ve
