Greetings! I hope that this post finds you doing well and enjoying your day. After receiving a message from a reader asking where I’d been and hoping I hadn’t fallen off of the wagon, I wanted to check in and update you on what’s going on.
I’m writing today from Cote d’Ivoire, Africa. I’m visiting here on a mission trip with the church that I attended as a college student. I’ll be doing an entire update once I get home about traveling and the difficulties it can provide as you attempt to live a healthy lifestyle, but I wanted to check in and give a short update none the less.
Because I’ve been very busy at work leading up to my travels and now that I’ve been gone for a bit, I’ve not been to Weight Watchers for a weigh-in in nearly three weeks. But I’m still following the weight watchers plan as best as possible, even being half-way around the world. It’s immensely hot here, so I’ve been eating a lot of fiber, fresh fruit and lean meats, but I’ve not gone overboard by any means. And, when it’s 90 degrees in the shade, you tend to sweat a lot of those calories off anyhow.
Thanks to each of you for your support and encouragement. I’m thankful for the accountability this space provides, and I appreciate knowing that this is more than a blog, but that it’s also a space for me to stay accountable to the progress I’ve made. I’ll be updating once I return home, but until then, I wish you all the best as you work towards a better you.
keep moving,
dane.
Dane, I am so proud of you. You know that I have struggle with my weight all my life so I know what you have been through. I have finally lost the weight and have kept it off for 1 yr.7months. I could lose but never keep it off. I go each week to TOPs and weigh in to keep me honest.
Your testimony is great and inspiring.
I bet I never told you that you were the best Jr. High Student Council president I ever had. I know that you can accomplish anything you set your mind to…Keep on keeping on.Mrs. Moore
