...and the journey continues.

Well, hello my poor, neglected blog. It has been a while...yet again! Anyway, thought that I would post a short update. Well, I started back on my journey as of May 1st. I figured it was time to get real and get this extra stuff off of my body, before I landed myself back at 468. My weigh in on May 1st was 390. WAY TOO CLOSE for my liking. I am happy to say, today, September 2, I weigh 354.8 pounds. It is coming off SO SLOW. Driving me nuts. I was steady losing 10 pounds a month up until August. Then.... the dreaded stall. I am not giving up. Not an option. I just have to adjust my eating and try some other things to shake things up a little bit. I did have a wonderful NSV last weekend. We took our girl to an amusement park. Of course, I was scared shitless that I would not going to fit most rides. I was pleasantly surprised that I fit most of the rides....including one of the roller coasters. I have not been on one in over 11 years because I did not fit them. It was my daughter's first time on a big roller coaster and I was able to share that moment with her. I cried when I got off the ride. I am sure people thought I got scared or something. Little did they know what kind of a victory I just had, and a moment I just shared with my daughter that I never thought would happen. Hate that summer is closing in on us. We did have our adventures. Went on a few bike rides...intend to do more. Hiking to caves, boardwalks with tons of stairs, fishing, swimming... a lot of swimming :) Just trying to live it up while the living is good. Hopefully, the next time I update this, I will have lost more weight. I want to get to where I was in 2013.... 337 was my lowest recorded weight. Once I get to 336, it will be like I am picking up where I left off. One day at a time, I will get there. Sometimes, I wished it was a lot quicker.... but gotta do it the healthy way. Anyway, toodles all. Thanks for reading...if anyone actually reads this anymore. haha!!
