SUNDAY  JULY 31st, 2016   HOME SWEET HOME

It was a long day.  Enjoyed my audiobook. Didn't get much exercise in just drove and drove and drove.  The customs agent was very nice and did not make me pay duty on the extra stuff that I brought back!  I did a bit of speeding in the smaller towns!  It said 50 - so I slowed down to 50 MPH and oops..  it was 50 km/hr!  Good thing I figured it out on my own instread of a RCMP officer pointing it out!

It was awesome coming home.  I had a few hours to get my land legs back.  It was fun looking through my closet for clothes that didn't fit me, this dress still had a tag on in hopes of it fitting someday as it was only $17.99 and .......... it fit!

I still have a lot of weight that I can get rid of!  But I do feel comfortable in my skin! I feel good when I look in the mirror.  I can bend over and tie up my shoes without my stomach getting in the way!  I can reach my heels with a quadriceps stretch.   Just the little things.  The kids are able to wrap their arms around me for a great hug!  These are the things that just make it all worth it.  The struggle is to keep the weight off and it'll be a lifelong journey with ups and downs.  I am so glad that I have the support of my family and extended family.  Don't be afraid to ask for help.  My husband has lost 50 lbs now since April and  I am so proud of him!  It'll be great to continue this adventure together with him and I look forward to a long and healthy life full of amazing challenges and adventures with him! 

My blood pressure was 110 / 78 when I came home.  It was 160 - 170 / 95 when I left.  That is progress. 

Thank you for following me on this journey so far. I'll continue to post from time to time to stay accountable and hopefully report another 5, 10 , 15, 20 ???? lbs loss to come! 

LIVE HAPPY, LIVE HEALTHY!
