Ok, its been a while, so time for an update. Just back from 2 weeks at the lake and SUN! OH MY...how I love sun. Had a great time with my family and visting all the fruit and veggie stands. Sounds crazy, but I was literally vibrating standing in the produce and just had to take in the sights and smells. I am a little nuts...yes.

I did have one bad habit on holidays, which I have quickly broken. Multigrain tortilla chips. Easy to grab, salty and crunchy. Not in my house now. Ate great otherwise...lots of bbq and wonderful veggies and fruit. I got on the scale when I got home scared..but no worries - the weight stayed the same.

We walked into some beautiful waterfalls and I led the pack....kicking butt and not even breathing hard...yeah me.

Some pictures I took on holidays I look crappy in, thus I realize some clothes I bought just don't look good on me. Funny concept, but reality. I will sleep in these shirts from now on.

My body is tan and I look healthy...and am healthy. All is wonderful on the health front. I did notice that by not taking my regular vitamins for 2 weeks made a difference, but back on them again now.

I did get more attention from men on the beach and although its a nice thing, I am still not comfortable with the whole idea...maybe in time.

Some funny things still....I still think I am the fat girl. Still have to think before I sit in a lawn chair (ie: weight restrictions), still have to selectively choose my seat in a speed boat (you have to balance out a boat), still wonder if I will fit in certain areas...and then have to give my head a shake.

I still look at some people and wonder if I am that size, or bigger or smaller. I still grab a large off the clothes rack...maybe one day these things will change, maybe not.

Life is good. Now at work for 3 weeks, then off to University for a week in the city and then 2 more weeks of holidays. So I will be checking in when I can. Have to get as much sun as I can before fall hits. Planning on Hawaii again in January - 2 weeks of sun, sand and a 2 piece suit.

I tried to catch up on everyones news, sorry if I missed some. Until later.....

Lisa,
I am so darn happy for you. I have followed your journey and can tell that you are truly enjoying life and your new self. You look amazing and sound joyful. I am the same way as you when visiting produce stands and just smelling the aroma of fresh fruit. Isn't it awesome to enjoy fruit and veggies. Who would have thought, ya know???

Anyway, congrats on your success and I am glad you had a nice trip.

Love and hugs,
Dale
