The Before pictures
We "remodeled" ourselves and not our home.
Tom and I have lost weight.
Both of us are turning 60 and we wanted to give each other something special.
Not a ring, or car, or trip but health!
We joined Weight Watchers last August.
We joined Weight Watchers last August.
Every Saturday morning we get up and go weigh in.
Every Saturday morning we go home pleased.
I feels great!
Now the After Pictures...
Last January I freaked when I weight myself.
I couldn't believe I had gotten so heavy.
At that moment, I knew I wanted to have my sixtieth birthday as the goal.
You know, "By my birthday I want to loose (fill in the blank)".
That meant I had one whole year to loose the weight. Easy!
No it wasn't.
It was going so s-l-o-w and time was not on my side.
To help me, I plastered the number 60 all over our home.
I had them everywhere.
They were put up as a reminder to work on loosing weight before my birthday.
One day, Tom asked me about all the numbers.
So I told Tom my pathetic story.
He looked me in the eyes and said,
"Let's join Weight Watcher!"
That was about 4 1/2 months ago.
As of today I have dropped three dress sizes.
That's about 30 pounds!
Guess what today is?
It's my birthday and I made it!
I am a happier and healthier me.
I'm Sixty and a size Sassy!
Tom and I have taken off on another
road trip to celebrate.
When we come back
I'll be ready for Christmas.
