A lovely kayaking trip at our wedding anniversary (see Week # 9). I had lost about 25 pounds by that point (45 lbs. from January 2014). I was very excited, and I assumed that my weight loss would taper off soon after this point.
A wonderful mountain hiking weekend away with some dear friends on my birthday (see week # 17). At this point I had lost 54.5 pounds ((74.5 lbs. since January 2014). It was an amazing victory over a mountain that had humiliated me 25 years ago - well actually my excess weight was what caused the humiliation, but it felt better to blame it on the mountain. This time I nearly bounced and bounded up the mountain with amazing energy - I felt like I was 25 again!
This past weekend was another wonderful celebration. We celebrated my dad's 86th birthday by driving down to Essex, CT so that he could drive a diesel locomotive. Of course, you can't let a man drive a train all by himself, so I also tried my had at driving a train. Coming at the end of my program, this was a true celebration, kind of like a graduation party :-)
