The big 60 came and went...today is Thanksgiving Day and I'm in Oregon with Mom and Dad...we are expecting 5 other family members at 1 pm for turkey and all the fixings. My 60th was on Saturday, Nov 23 and it was fun to celebrate with family here in Oregon. My brother Norman, his wife Lori and her daughters/boyfriends/child were here for a big ham dinner. Mom ordered a cake that was decorated with 6 cats since that's how many I have at home...then, the lady put a little cat on the side of the cake and told Mom that one was waiting for me to come home to California...Lori decorated with balloons and ribbons and a "Happy Birthday" banner...how fun....when the cake came baby Sharlie (age 16 months) "helped" me blow out candles...what fun!! They were the ones that threw out some sparklers and then relit and the look on her face was adorable.....great memories and a wonderful birthday celebration'
When I started this blog, I had wanted to be under 260 by my 60th birthday..which would have meant a 56 lb loss...I ended up losing 31 lbs and pretty much have stayed the same for the past couple months. Now that my trip to Oregon is coming to an end, I will step it up again and get some more weight off. My goal for December is to stay the same...then after the new year, really put my plan back in motion.
So, I think I will end this blog now since it was focused on getting me through my 60th birthday..after the new year, I'll probably start a new one with new goals....it's been good for me to have a place to write and just let out some of the things that are going on so I will definitely start a new one once the New Year has come...
