The effort left me thinking about the last time I managed to get rid of a large amount of excess weight. I believe at beginning of this millennium, I may have weighed as much at 235 or 240 lbs. I did discover through old entries here that I lost a lot of weight during the year of 2012. Between January and October, a dozen years ago, I went from 209 to 169 lbs. I remember when we visited Sri Lanka at the end of the year when I was probably around 170 lbs.
It has taken me more than a decade to pack back on the pounds. I will let this be a warning to myself to be a bit more vigilant about keeping an eye on bathroom scales ... like for the rest of my life!
This was Jay and me at YVR airport. We're in front of The Spirit of Haida Gwaii: The Jade Canoe by artist, Bill Reid. And below, I was in Negombo, Sri Lanka.
