182.5 A New Challenge Perhaps...
Speaking of challenges :), I may take on something that will definitely be a challenge for me. I've been approached by the head of the adult ed programs at our church about starting a weight loss group. I'm not sure what all it will entail, but I do know it will be up to me to design it. I would love to hear from any of you who read this blog about what might be important to include and what you've taken away from this blog about weight loss that has helped you, or been meaningful to you. The group won't start until after the first of the year so I have time to do this with thought and purpose. Any ideas you have will be welcome and appreciated.

169.8 Where To Go From Here
It's on my mind. In fact, it's on my mind a lot. Where do I go from here? I know what I want to do, but I'm just not sure how to get started. I really want to help people who are older, and who are possibly, probably, facing health issues, to lose weight and get new energy and a new perspective on life in the process. I know I have learned a lot about all of these issues and am a teacher by training. It's what I love to do. I can do this!
Last night at Jennifer's party, there were people of all ages in attendance to celebrate with her. It was hard to know exactly who was young and who was old. One gal I met told me she was 71 and I would have guessed that she was 55 to 60 because of her appearance and how she acted. Another woman told me she was 75 and she jokingly added, therefore old. She complained of weight gain and not knowing why or how that was happening to her. Her attitude was basically one that many folks I know share, which is I'm old therefore I can't change and I'm not sure I want to change.
So I'm thinking about workshops, one on one coaching, possibly joining forces with Jennifer so that she and I could each bring to the table what we know best. Maybe it's all online and all I have to do is to start searching the topic of starting a weight loss group. It's time to give back and I am searching for ways. It is a big challenge!
