Yep, I’m back too!
What happened? How come I fell off the wagon? What’s my excuse? Well, my dog ran away, my truck broke, my best friend passed away…
Noo, not so simple as a country & western song but I did go 1 for 3. My best friend passed away on July 17, 2007. I was in the parking lot just getting ready to go into the Tuesday morning WW meeting in North Vancouver when I got the call from the EMS in Texas. That was the end of the North Van meetings for me. I spent a fair amount of time down south over the following months and into the early fall helping out with his estate and with all the sympathy eating that went along with that I just never made it back to a meeting in North Van… besides, Tarry had pretty much bailed by then.
I did try attending in Ladner for a while last year with a friend of mine, Vicki… she is an exceptionally positive role model, hovering a pound or two above her goal weight for the last long time, threatening to become a lifetime member. Why’d I stop going to Ladner WW meetings? Change of meeting leader, or at least that’s my story and I’m sticking too it!
So… 3rd time lucky I hope.
Went to a meeting in South Delta tonight with my Sister Corilee… her first time to WW and I think she’ll like it if she can maintain the discipline to eat regularly and track what she eats. With me helping her – do as I say, not as I’ve done – she’ll be fine.
So, how much do I weigh today? Not so fast… When I first went on WW in March 2007 I was 265#. I quickly lost my first 40#s and by July was at 225#. When I got back on the scales last year in Ladner I was up to 240#s. I lost 10#s before falling off the bus. Today, I weigh in at 252.6#. So, still below my all time high, but well above my recent memories low.
I hope you’ll follow along with us for this next ride. I can’t promise it will be my last, but I sure am hoping that 3 times is the lucky one for me.
