I lost 105 lbs. for surgery and a healthier future, hoped writing this blog would help me stay focused. The slideshow shows me from my highest of 322 pounds down to 211 pounds. Since my retirement and cancer diagnosis, weight has crept back. I focused on the cancer in 2010-11. Well, now it's Spring of 2015 and I have regained almost all the weight, back up to 284. I guess I should change the title to Weight Loss Journey AGAIN.

Good neighbors
I saw my neighbors, with their three children, out shoveling their driveway and talking to some other neighbors from across the street. I went out on the stoop, explained my situation, and offered to pay their oldest son to do my sidewalk. The dad said he and his son would totally be happy to clear my sidewalk and would not accept any money for it. Wow, there are truly nice people in this world, and I feel blessed to have such nice neighbors! Here's the day with his snow blower in the background, the mom up at the front of my car, and the son barely visible over the opposite side of my car. I did end up giving their son $20 and the parents a $25 gift card to Applebee's in a Christmas card for their efforts.
