150 Pounds by July 2016

I've made a decision to lose 50 pounds by next summer.  I know with God's help I can lose 10 pounds a month.  It is a good thing no one reads this because it is now going to be my diary of weight loss.  I've tried for years to lose weight and keep it off.  But after I lose 10-20 pounds I put it back on and more.  This time I am going to lose it and keep it off.  I've been asked to be a matron of honor for a friend's wedding. Remember the saying "always a brides maid never a bride" well I was a bride but never a brides maid.  This will be my first time, August 13, 2016. I have no idea what to do as a matron of honor at a wedding.  I think, but am not sure that it is the matron's duty to organize a bridal party.  Yes?  I don't know and how do you go about doing that anyway?  Oh yea the matron of honor gives the toast to the bride or is it the groom? I don't know.

I'm starting this weight loss journal at 200 pounds on Oct 30 2015.  What will it be the next time I make an entry?
I'm going to the gym 3 times a week and am going to do it seriously. Not just go and play at it.  I'm going to get in touch with a friend who was my coach a number of years ago and ask him what to do.

Once a week I'm going to weigh myself and enter the weight here and what ever goes along with it.

Back from a 10 day holiday

It is nice to go away but it is also nice to be home.  I spent Thanksgiving with my niece and her friend in Shelley, a community on highway 16 east of Prince George.  I went up on Thursday Oct 8 and came back on the 18.  I was only going to stay until the Wednesday but got talked into staying until the Sunday, to go dancing on Saturday night at the seniors centre in Prince George.  Had a nice time and danced with a couple of nice guys.
I had a nice time and an uneventful drive.  I like driving by myself sometimes.  A few idiots tried to wipe me out but with God as my pilot and I the co-pilot we made good time and no trouble.
Nice to be home and go to church for the class last night and see my chiropractor a couple of times this week.

Thanksgiving

One year someone asked what do we have to be thankful for.  A wonderful lady sitting beside me holding my hand said friends.  We all agreed with her.  I gave her hand a squeeze and a big smile.  There were times when I didn't know if she was there mentally or not as she had dementia.  When my lovely lady was with me I knew I was loved and loved her in return.  I miss you Gloria!
This year I'm thankful for memories, friends, family and the ability to travel up north to Prince George to spend Thanksgiving with my nieces.
Chicken Soup is going the be requesting stories for being thankful for being Americans or Canadian. That is one story I think I can write.  I am thankful for being a Canadian because.... Wait until I write it.
Have a great Thanksgiving and be thankful for what ever you have to be thankful for.
