Today was weigh in day and I'm so thrilled. My total weight loss is now 50 pounds!
I haven't been at this weight in over 15 years! In fact, I remember the last time I weighed what I weighed today was when I went sky diving.
My step-daughter, Vesteen, had just turned 18 and she wanted to celebrate by jumping out of a perfectly good airplane and I offered to join her. We went to Carmi for a day of jump school and one of the first questions was, "How much do you weigh?" The weight limit was 250 pounds, so I lied.
Actually, I weighed about 260 at the time, but I thought that another 10 pounds wouldn't make any difference.
The jumpsuit was very tight and since I was the biggest guy on the plane, I got to jump first. What an insane thing to do, but it's a great memory.
The best part of it was that I could share the adventure with Vesteen.
