Day 244. Longest Day Ever. 

10/31/2015

Today was weight watchers day and it meant being out of the house by 9.30am. For most of you that sounds very civilized I'm sure however for me it is still a challenge however one that's getting easier. That was a successful venture as I have now lost a total of 4.6 pounds, so it is working. It takes a lot of concentration to pay attention to every bite you put into you mouth, but it does work. Four of my sisters and I are doing it together and we have lost a total of 27.8.
It's great to do it together and I also have a good friend who joins me here in North Bay.
From weight watchers we went for coffee with a friend, then off to another friends for a nice relaxing lunch. I had a doctors appointment which lasted a full hour so by then I was beat. Thankfully Mary is still here with me to help me get around. We had dinner and I fought hard to stay awake until eight. I slept on and off until she put me to bed at 8.50pm. I guess it was a little much for a girl who hadn't been out of the house much in the last month. I did have an excellent sleep though.
I felt a little taste of my former self by being out and about and seeing friends. It will all come back soon but I want to acknowledge how good it feels now. Having something to look forward to means everything.
