Well - the trip to Florida to spend Christmas with my parents was awesome. The weather was great - 70's and even some 80's - warm enough to entice me out to sunbathe and swim. It was great to spend Christmas with Mom and Dad - haven't been able to do that for a looong time. Robert and Ivan enjoyed the break as well. We took in an AC/DC concert in Tampa on the 21st - it was fantastic - a great show. And apart from just shopping and sightseeing and hanging out together - well - that was all we needed. Mom had 2 pairs of shorts bought for me that fit to a T - thank goodness - because of course I had none. A bandster friend of mine gave me a pair of capris when I was pre-op last year - they were my inspiration pants as she called them. I said I would NEVER be able to fit into them. Well - guess what - wouldn't you know - they fit perfect for this trip. And of course I picked up some more warm weather clothes also. We were very lucky and didn't get stuck in any of the weather related delays and cancellations. Just a great trip. I was 194lbs when I left - and I'm 194lbs today. Considering I was very relaxed about what I ate when I was away - I'm very pleased. There is just nothing as good as your own Mom's Turkey Christmas Dinner. And I enjoyed it - not a huge amount - but I ate a sensible amount. And of course a before bed nibble or two - leftover turkey is the best. So back on track now - and that means getting out in the cold and walking. The walking in Florida was a treat. But - well - it's friggin cold here. I'm 14lbs from goal now - the closer I get - the slower the loss gets - but I WILL get there. Here's to a Happy and healthy 2009. Cheers everyone!
