I have met my weight goal! My overall weight goal that is. It wasn’t too much off my 40 before 40 goal. Only 10 more pounds, but I have made it. Now I just need to keep it. So I have managed to lose 50 pounds in the last 6 months. What other goals have I accomplished, that I set to make before turning 40?
None.
I have ALMOST finished the basement, but we are still missing a refrigerator, and most furniture. I can’t bring myself to allow that type of expense right now. Why? Because I have another goal…getting a new camper, so we are saving for that.
So you ask, how do I feel about that? Have I failed? No. I lost 50 POUNDS! I also had surgery to fix 2 hernia’s that I didn’t know I had, LAST WEEK. Still a little sore, but things are going really much better now than a week ago. Work is good, and my family is healthy and we have everything we need to survive. We are truly blessed, and I thank God each day for what he has given me, and my family, and for giving me my family.
The fall is looking to be a good one for me. It will certainly be busy. The kids are in gymnastics, and music lessons will be starting in the coming weeks also. Church activities are just around the corner, so pretty much each night of the week is about to be consumed with ‘something’. Again I will be on a bowling league with some co-workers. I am really looking forward to improving over last year. The first few weeks will be a little rough, given my recent surgery, but I think it will be a great time.
I hope you all have a great autumn. Hugs your kids each day. They are growing up WAY to fast. Especially my daughter. Hug your spouse, and thank them for who they are. Don’t overlook all they do to help you through your day.
