Today is my one-year Weight Watcher anniversary. Though I have not written updates lately, a few weeks ago I hit my next goal – 90 pounds! Of course, the following week I gained a pound, then lost that pound, then gained a pound, etc. So I am still at a bit of a plateau. But 90 pounds in a year is nothing to sneeze at! And I am healthier than I have been since I graduated from college – both my eating and activity levels are MUCH healthier than they were even when I was in high school or college. I’ve been walking each day – usually at least 2 miles – and I feel good! So hanging around at this 90-pound plateau is OK!

Today the youth group at Oak Chapel UMC is traveling to Cedar Point and Youth Annual Conference at Lakeside and I am excited to be going with them. Can you think of a better way to celebrate the anniversary of my renewed health and vitality than spending the day with a wonderful group of teenagers riding roller coasters? This weight loss journey has been like a roller coaster, but I’d get back in line and do it all over again. What a thrill! Thanks for riding with me.

Well, I must go now. Don’t want to be late meeting the youth! Until next time, peace …
