Living the dream!

[Djmohr 6,965]

I am so excited. We are headed to Hawaii on Friday with my hubby, son and granddaughter. We are taking a seven day cruise.

I am 5 sizes smaller than my last vacation which was in August. That was the vacation where I could not keep up with my family and they would not go do things without me. I felt so terrible that I could barely walk off the cruise ship in to town and could maybe make in an hour, two at the most. By the end of that trip I was exhausted, had swollen ankles and could barely make it home.

Now, I can RUN up the stairs, walk for miles and have more energy than I have in the last 20 years!

We have a hike through the national volcano park scheduled along with many other excursions. I absolutely cannot wait.

And yes, I will even put on a bathing suit even though I still have along way to go.

These were all the things I dreamed about when I started this journey. I just wanted better health so I would be able to enjoy life and my family to it fullest. 4 short months and my dreams are coming true.

How about you, what do you dream about?

That all sounds amazing!!! Enjoy every second!!!

I'm looking forward to this summer with my kids in the pool! I have plenty of fat bathing suits, but just am not comfortable in them AND I had such low energy that I dreaded going into the pool! (Gotta clean it before we can really play and it's just an all around pain when you don't have energy) I bought a size 18 black one piece at target on clearance at the end of this past summer, I have hopes it will fit!!

Enjoy your trip - and post pictures when you get back!

WOW! How fantastic for you! Sounds like you're regaining your life!

I had surgery in June, hit goal in 5-1/2 months and I'm feeling so good it should be illegal! Like you, I can't wait for the warm weather, swimsuits, activity, cute clothes. So tired of winter layers!

I hope you have a fantastic vacation, stay on track, and hit your goal and have wild success!
