Ollivanders - A Wand Chooses You at Islands of Adventure

Blog Title

So, after some thought when speaking to a dear friend she does  not like the term “Bucket List” due that too many people are using the term as reasons to accomplish tasks before they pass on to the next plain and making their family and friends feel bad in the process.  Most family members don’t mind helping those out who are coming to the end of their journey here on Earth, but when they are pushed into feeling guilty it creates friction and resentment.  

 

So, to honor my cherished friend, I am going to change what I have called my list and rethink some of the things I have listed.  She doesn’t want a list, just for people to remember her and her goodness and love toward her friends and family.  This is only ONE way that I am going to show my admiration for her and change the title of my blog.

 

I want to do and see things, some with my family, some with my friends, and some alone.  I think the word ‘list’ is okay but it needs more.  Something to reflects me. The only other term I have heard for a bucket list is “Life List” but I really don’t feel that title fits me.

 

This should be interesting.

5%

Awesome surprise today when I weighed in.  I had to go to the Winston-Salem office since my normal group won't be meeting b/c of Labor Day.  

The nice receptionist smile and said congrats on loosing 1.4! I was like, 

"Really?" and she was like "Yes." 

"Awesome!"

"Yes, it is."

"No, I got my 5%, see?!?!?" as I showed her my PP Weight Record.

"That's great, here is your 5% things. Are you staying for the meeting?"
"No thanks, I have some errands to run, but thank you so much." 

I left with a wave and a smile - a VERY big smile and a bounce in my step.

200 Party!

I have decided that I am going to have a 200 Party!  What this means, is when I get to 200 pounds I will have a party for my friends and family to join me in my celebration.  I haven't seen 200 pounds since I gave birth to Michael 12 year and 9 months ago!  I think this is a very big deal for me and see all reasons to celebrate it.  Since I can't tell when it will be I do have some time to plan.  I have 20.4 pounds to go, but slow and steady is going to get this weight off of me!!!
