We just got back from vacationing in Mexico. The reason my weight loss stalled is because I chose to drink alcohol while there. No regrets, just an explanation (and my nurse says not to do it again for a while...no worries, not camping until July). HOWEVER, I took a 9 1/2 hour walking tour which involved 5 miles of trekking around on uneven ground AND KEPT UP WITH THE GROUP! Plus I still had enough energy to meet my fellow vacationers in town for dinner. AND get out of bed the next day to go hike around the botanical gardens and go on an amazing boat ride/dinner tour that night. 6 months ago any one of those activities would have wiped me out for a week! I also went horseback riding (okay cousin, I think I can handle the wine tour now), climbed down to the base of a waterfall to go swimming, climbed back up without assistance, and jumped back into a pontoon boat from the beach (with minimal assistance).
I have a 1 drink limit and can split a resturant dinner with my husband (can we say "cheap date").
I didn't have to ask for a seatbelt extender on the plane.
I had more room in my suitcase since my clothes take up less space.
I didn't have to lug a CPAP machine through airport security.
I've gone from a size 22 to a size 14/16.
I'm down a total of 50 pounds.
I don't need a nap everyday.
So, vacation is over...I'm recovering from an upper respiratory infection (courtesy of a weak immune system and traveling)...new Grandbaby is due in four weeks...and I'm back on program.
Till next month, thanks for everyone's continued support! Love, Karla
Yeah Karla!! You can be so very proud of what you've accomplished. You wore me out with your climbing, hiking, walking, riding a Horse?? I thought this was a vacation! So very happy for you, and for Dan and your family.
