South Dakota :: P1011803.jpg picture by originalpossumtrot - Photobucket

When at my heaviest I tended to stay home and do nothing. Now that I've lost a bit of weight (about half-way to goal) I'm finding I want to go out and DO things, iow, to LIVE life to it's fullest. Heck, I've even taken up hiking. Pre-weightloss possumtrot would *never* have done that. :thumbup1:

This pic. is from a little while back when we took a 4,000 mile vacation out west (I drove to the top of Pike's Peak and earned my tee shirt that says "Real Women Don't Need Guardrails", lol). Man-o-man, it was *fun* after the scary part was over. It was very breezy up top of the peak and I sure was glad to have my old coat with me but it was eye-opening to see how much too big it was! I had to clutch it around me because the wind was blowing up it and I had no protection from the cold. So guess who is getting a new coat this winter? :glare:

So for those struggling, keep the faith and keep living life to the fullest.

Have a great day all! :)

We were 14,110 feet up...got a little dizzy from the altitude but drank half a liter of Water and was good to go back down.

I had forgotten how much fun I have when I go out and DO things instead of sitting around promoting fat exansion when I was heavier.

Still have about 50 lbs to go so Look Out World when I get to goal! I'm planning a trip to China to Celebrate getting to goal weight. ; )

What do y'all plan to do to Celebrate getting to goal?

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
