Hump Day Poll: Your Childhood Go To's
Candy Edition! I was thinking about my Mom's 50th birthday party. It was a wonderful memory because I worked really hard on it and planned it for 9 months to make it great for her. Because she didn't have a 25th wedding anniversary, I knew I was going to go all out for her 50th. I had family, friends, people from high school, co-workers (ones I knew she liked! 😁) and I loved seeing her face when she would see people she hadn't seen in a long time. One of the biggest hits that people talked about for years after were the retro candy baskets on every table. I bought ones that I knew were her favorites as well as looking at what were popular at the time. People lost their minds and were squealing like kids when they saw their favorites. I got all of the candy through Candy Favorites website and it's always so fun to look through. I was perusing the site, I was thinking of what stuff I'd want in the baskets on my table for a party like Mom's: Cher...
Yep, 2 major ones I'm proud of. Yours and my SIL's.
ReplyDeleteWhat? You didn't say it had to be my own.
That's SO awesome, congratulations! The next 2 milestones will be behind you before you know it!
ReplyDeleteWOOT!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm still clinging to my last accomplishment (happened about a month ago--so sad). I hit my new "never again" number of 175 lbs. And I'm happy to say since I've hit it I've never had a weigh in over it (and may I never for the rest of my life).
WOO HOO for you--and yes, it could be the start of a great streak! Here's hoping! Some of those major milestones seem like they take f-o-r-e-v-e-r to reach. I'm at 94 pounds lost now; counting the ounces to hitting 95 pounds, then 100 pounds lost. I'm proud of getting to 90 pounds off, but I soooo want to hit that triple digit loss. Still, I'm at the lowest weight I've been in over 25 years, so I'm pretty darned happy with that!
ReplyDeleteWell, seeing how I can't say that I'm happy that I GAINED weight...I will just congratulate you on your loss! We have some fun times ahead of us as you reach those milestones (I'm sending vibes that it is in record time, BTW). :-)
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!!
Great big contrats on the 3 lb loss! I know that you've been frustrated lately but that's behind you know. You've broken through that plateau and YOU WILL CONTINUE losing!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing the fireworks you set off when you hit your next two goals.
Way to go woman!!! You will hit those 2 milestones in no time :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on a well-earned loss!!! I do hope this is the beginning of a lovely streak for you. For me, my biggest accomplishment is that I maintained my weight over vacation (although it hasn't moved in almost 6 months, so I'm not sure if that's really a plus or not).
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm wearing skinny jeans with boots today. That's pretty awesome in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteAND! I can't wait until I'm in the 170s. It feels like it's taking forever, but persistence pays off and all of that crap. :-)
Thanks so much everyone! I've got the best cheerleaders in the world! Let's hope this continues or at least continues downward! I'm chompin' at the bit to leave these 3's behind!
