Silver Fox is sooooooo sorry that she hasn’t posted in her journal for several days.
Sometimes I think we get too busy to do some really important things.
It is late here now, after 11 p.m. but I just must post some in my journal.
We do have company right now and expecting more this week.
The exciting part?
These are High School Chums from 60+ years ago.
We all attended a small faith Bible School and have stayed in touch all these years.
They are full time Rvers , do a lot of traveling over the US, and come to visit us usually once a year.
When they visit they have their own home with them, and so we come and go as we please.
At one time we took a month trip together in our RV’s up into the Great Lakes area,
All through provinces of Canada, and visited Prince Edward Island, and many many other sites and places.
Oh, they were so delighted at my wonderful weight loss,
especially since they are very health conscious and stay at a nice healthy weight, themselves.
Some nice NSV’s there. And I feel so much better than in the past visits
when I huffed and puffed around when we would go walking, sight seeing, etc.
Five or 6 couples from our Bible School days are all still together after all these years---50 to 60 years!!
We are all in relatively good health and love getting together when possible for trips, games, etc.
A most special event is coming up.
One of the couples I mentioned, married on the same day that we did, October 6, 1946, in different parts of the country,
and neither of us was aware of it until much later.
So now we plan to celebrate our 60th wedding anniversary together next month.
We will travel to Branson, MO and take in many of the shows,
and do many other fun things.
How exciting is that?
This reminds me that it is a precious thing to stay in touch with special friends through the years.
Some day it will mean more to us than we can ever imagine.
Nobody has more enjoyment and happiness than those who share so much in common, and have lived life the fullest they know how.
Well, on to my weight loss phase.
I think for the first time I am at a real PLATEAU!
Just hovering around 140, and can’t seem to drop into the 130’s.
I have read numerous times where that when a large amount of weight is lost (YAY!)
that the body experiences a plateau where it slows down to take stock of the situation,
and does not release the weight as it had previously.
But not to become discouraged, because there are other indicators such as clothes that show that the weight is actually coming off,
even if the SCALE does not show it!
And measurements also tell the tale!
And of course I have found that is true.
For sure, I know that I will not be stuck at 140# FOREVER!
I am aware, however, that I seem to be languishing while my sojourner friends are speeding on to goal!
But they are all so kind and supportive and I know that eventually I will catch up to them.
Speaking of NSV’s. I am being called Lizabitty, Itsy, Tiny, Foxy, and now, my own daughter today said I was ‘miniature’.
Wowie, Zowie,
No way can I go back to the way it was with polite but subtle hints about how much better I would look if I would just lose a little weight!
ONLY FIVE MORE POUNDS TO GOAL!
I know I will get there!
With your help and encouragement I WILL!
