Back in my boat!



Recommended Posts

So today I put my kayak in. I paddled through mangroves and popped out in Biscayne Bay. I floated, ate my hummus and read Dave Barry. It was heaven.

It's something I've been looking forward to all winter and felt awesome now that I'm down a few pounds. I will have to pick up a seat cushion though because ouch!! Some of my padding is apparently gone! :)post-77434-1466126355946_thumb.jpg post-77434-14661263713418_thumb.jpg

Mine isn't proper. She's ancient and but I love her. Her name is Princess Otter and we have been so many places together I can't let go. :)

Kayaking is awesome- there is something very therapeutic about bobbing around, watching the world float by. I'm pretty sure these guys were laughing at me doing absolutely nothing in their backyard. :)post-77434-14661281615092_thumb.jpg

It's all good so long as I can tote a Glock to deal with the local gators & snakes.

We have Water snakes in Oklahoma that look very much like Water moccasins. I was shore fishing and talked to guy in a float tube about it (he kept popping the snakes with his pole when they got close. He said, "only 1 in 4 can kill you." geez, I'll stay on shore here. But if I was in a better climate, that sounds like a very fun day.

That looks wonderful! I would love to get a kayak and paddle around some lakes here. For now, it's top of my list for what I plan to do on our upcoming Mexico vacation.

I had a Sig Sauer 229 fail on me with a grain of sand caught in the slide. I NEEDED that gun to work and it didn't. I haven't carried a semi auto for personal defense since that day. I now carry a Ruger LCRX in the .38 special +p variety. It is just over a pound loaded with 5 rounds. I don't need 10+ rounds.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
