I'm home!

Hi guys I am back in town after traveling to Atlanta and South Carolina last week. My hubby had a business trip near there, so I went to visit with an old high school friend who's also had gastric bypass, and then I met up with hubby and we spent the weekend together road tripping! It was very fun but challenging also in some ways. Some of the difficult aspects were: no access to my scale, too much restaurant dining where I found it difficult to stop eating in time to avoid feeling too full, even though I split meals, etc. also, much of the food in the restaurants in the south was richer than I am used to at home. I had several episodes of grouch pouch, but nothing serious. I also didn't track my food all last week, where as I usually do fitday everyday. I was scared to weigh when I got home, but I had my weekly weigh in on my parent's doctor scale yesterday and was down half a pound. I was happy about that!! Only half a pound, but in the right direction at least... I went to the gym yesterday, and I'm going again today. So hopefully I'll have a good loss next monday. Shopping in Atlanta was very fun! I got my make-up done at the Mac counter and got a few new clothes. Trying things on is way more fun now! Flying was much easier with my newly smaller self, and I took a walking tour through a submarine in Charleston that would have been difficult, if not impossible with my old body. So that was my adventure last week! I missed you guys! What have you guys been up to? Love, Sue

Welcome home! Sounds like you had a wonderful time! Congrats on the vacation loss... I know that can be challenging. Sounds like you are getting right back into your routine and that is really great! Good for you, Karen

Hey Karen Thanks for the support! You are doing great too! Hugs, Sue

Sounds like you had a great time. We missed you too. I have been trying to keep myself on track, not doing as well as I'd like to, but I'm getting there. It's not food that messing me up so that's a good thing. That's awesome that you still lost a half a pound. Anywho, I'm glad you had a good time and glad to have you back. God Bless, Jo

Hi Jo! Thanks for your sweet words. I know what you are saying about staying on track, and some days are definitely so much harder than others. I just tell myself if I can make it through those days ok, it will get easier again. Hang in there! Love, Sue

Sue, I was wondering where you were!!! I'm you're doing okay and having fun. Glad you're back!!!

Soooo glad your back. I was wondering why we'd not heard from you! So glad that you had a good time. Sounds like you had several "wow" moments. Welcome back!! Pam
