Hi everyone!  I hope you had a nice Memorial Day weekend.  I didn’t do everything I planned on doing, but it was a nice one.

Tommie and I have been keeping up with our walking and it feels good.  It’s going to start to get harder to walk outside with it getting hotter!  We DO have our membership to the community center though.  Tommie likes walking on the treadmill, because we are able to read our books and take our minds off of what we’re doing. I enjoy walking outside and in new places.  Just the challenge of the layout of the land and seeing the people and nature. (depending on where we walk)  I’m in agreement though of Tommie’s veto on not walking in the deep woods any more.  Ticks are not pleasant to deal with!

I was in a stall the past couple of weeks.  Up and down within a few pounds.  That seems to be my pattern though and I try not to stress about it as much as I did at first.  My pattern has been lose really well one week, then stall a week or two, then lose again.  Finally today I broke through that 70 lb lost barrier!  Hopefully I’ll stay on that side of it, but we’ll see in a few days. 🙂  Feels good to lose 70 lbs in about 4 months!  I’m REALLY getting desperate on clothes though.  Most of my shirts are pretty big on me.  My pile of give away clothes are getting larger and larger.  I have a lot of pants in the size I’m wearing now, well, at least capri’s, but I had given all the shirts away years ago.  I’m going to have to go around and see if I can find anything at some local thrift stores.  I’m NOT a big shopper, and am picky on the way clothes fit.

I’m looking forward to my brother and sister in law visiting in July.  It’s been nice to have family come and see me this year. My nephew is 2 and I haven’t seen him (in person) since he was 6 months old.  It’s hard when family lives so far away!  I’ve also been planning our yearly vacation for the year.  I’m thinking we’re going to do it some time in August and I think my step-daughter is going to meet us up there.  We’re planning on going to Vancouver this year.  It will be my first time in Canada and I’m looking forward to it.

Well – that is my quick update.  Hope everyone else is doing well. 🙂  Thanks for reading!
