My Weight Loss Journey – Week 37

My goal last week was to reach or pass my next milestone of 75 pounds, and I'm so happy to report that I passed that milestone! I lost 3 pounds last week for a grand total of 77.2 pounds! My next personal goal is to reach 200 pounds, I'm only 7.8 pounds away from that milestone, and I'm hoping that I can reach it by Christmas. That's six weeks to lose just under 8 pounds. If I can stay on track I should be able to make that goal.

A Night at the Theatre: Phantom of the Opera

I fell in love with The Phantom of the Opera back when I was in high school. The first time I saw it, a friend had organized for a bunch of us to join a bus trip to Toronto to see it at the Pantages Theatre. I really had no idea what the story was about, so on the way up I read the book by Gaston Leroux, and I was really glad that I did because it gave me a much better appreciation of what was going on on stage. I fell in love with the spectacular music, and the beautiful costumes, and the venue made it a special experience.

My Weight Loss Journey – Week 36

I'm a bit late this week, but I have great news, I’m almost to my next big milestone! When I weighed myself on Monday morning, I was down another 1.5 pounds for a grand total of 74.2 pounds. That’s right, I am less than a pound away from 75 pounds! My goal this week is to keep myself on track and make that milestone by next week.

Finally Finished (something) Friday!!!

I got really tired of not having completed any projects lately, so last weekend I started yet another quick and simple project so that I could feel like I had accomplished something. I actually owed my sister a birthday gift, and way, way back in January (when her birthday actually was) she had picked out a couple of patterns. One was a hat, and the other was a pair of slippers. I haven't gotten either of them done up until now, but on Sunday I sat down and started (and completed) her hat.

My Weight Loss Journey – Week 35

This week’s update is another short one, and late as well. At least I have good news to report! I lost 2.1 pounds this week for a total of 72.7 pounds! My clothes are starting to get quite loose now, but I’m trying to hold off on buying new ones for as long as possible, since I still have a ways to go until Inreach my goal.
