SLYONE 22's Journal, 22 Aug 23

Today is my birthday. I am 68 years old. This is a year of reflection for some reason. There's several landmark ages and anniversaries this year, so that may be the reason. August is just one long celebration. The 1st is Granddaughter birthday, the 16th is SIL birthday, the 17th is youngest daughter/SIL 25th anniversary, the 21st is oldest daughter birthday, today is youngest daughter 45th birthday and my birthday and the 27th is middle daughter's MIL birthday. The slight uptick in weight is expected and temporary. We have the last weekend gathering here Saturday. SIL is smoking Ribs, Sirloin Roast and a Turkey. There should be about 18 people here for this one. We divide the leftovers for the 6 households. Everybody gets a cooking break.

Maintenance has found me for the most part. I have bounced around within about a 10# +/- range for the last 15 months. I am still deciding if I want to loose another 10 to 15#. The doctor says she's happy with where I am, and my body seems to be as well.

I still check in and read your posts. Sometimes I respond, mostly I'm just coasting right now. I cannot over state how much this site and the wonderful supportive people on here have helped me to find a Happier and Healthier Me. Ultimately it's everyone's personal journey, but the support and mutual celebration of struggles and successes in this community are invaluable! May each of you feel the warmth and comfort when you need it most!
