I'm slowly getting back to the basics. Choosing high protein items, trying not to snack/graze between meals. Each day I'm doing better at this. Not completely on target, but getting closer than I was.
AND today is day 4 sans sugar.
AND my family is still intact.
On Monday I went snowmobiling with the family. It's the first time I've gone since I've lost weight and it was a much different than before --
I wasn't terrified of getting all the way up there only to find out they didn't have a suit big enough for me.
I wasn't terrified that they had a weight limit and I would get up there only to find out I couldn't ride.
I was sure that my child would fit behind me on the snowmobile.
It was good to feel these things (none of these things ever happened, I was just afraid it would have happened).
Here are some pictures -- let's just say, no one looks good in these snow suits.
suiting up --
joy (sarcasm) -- and in case you didn't know what size suit I was in, it's right there, x-tra large, short
It was a beautiful day in Colorado on Monday, sunny and crisp
Jake tried out driving in the meadow a bit
Post mobiling popcorn
Jake, sigh, on his phone....well at least we got him engaged and laughing when we went out to eat afterwards.
Okay, done playing on my blog and reading yours for a bit, I have to get down to it and write a paper. Tell me again why I thought going back to school was a good idea? And if I EVER decide to get my PhD, please feel free to do an intervention.
That looks fun!!
ReplyDelete4 lbs in a week! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteEven though I grew up in Alaska, I think I've only been on a snowmachine (which is what Alaskans call them, for some arcane reason) maybe once in my entire life. It looks super-fun! I wonder where you were? In the late 90s/early 00s, we used to go up to Grand Lake at Christmastime most years, and that was a big snowmobiling mecca.
ReplyDeletewe were in grand lake :D love it up there!
DeleteI'll add a YAH, YAH. Your numbers are great. And a big plus is getting out in the winter. Another YAH YAH.
ReplyDeleteI should add, after reading your about, I had WLS 4 years ago--Lapband. Best decision I have ever made. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun day. I love a nice crisp snow. Congratulations on your loss this week!
ReplyDelete:)I like all the pics. Fun day! YAY for loss of 4 pounds!
