WOW moments in the life of an emerging butterfly

WOW moments in the life of an emerging butterfly This past weekend brought me many WOW moments. Little things that made me feel so very good about me and this wonderful WLS journey. John and I went to the Rhode Island shore for 3 days. I could walk on the beach, get in and out of the chair and up and down on the blanket. No small task last year, I always needed help up and I did not walk on the beach. I went into the ocean and played, swam, and jumped the waves, me with the bad knees, me too unsteady on my legs, ME I did that. I had such fun. My checks hurt from my joy. We stayed in a lovely motel and had a room with a Jacuzzi spa tub. I fit in it, we both fit in it. (Blushing I am from the fun John and I had in that tub). This motel had beautiful, fluffy, white robes for us to use. I could wear the Robe, I could wrap it around me and tie the tie. WOW, I put that robe on about 3 dozen times just because I could. It felt wonderful and was a nice touch to put on after the spa tube or shower. I must be honest and say that I was not good about eating or drinking my water. I did not plan well at all. I have all these great protein bars and snacks at work and did not have any at home to pack and take with me. I hope I learned my lesson. I did better on my water, but did fall below my daily goal of at lease 64 oz. But back on track today. I feel like I was away for a week instead of 3 days. I am very rested and happy. My checks still hurt from smiling, but I can stand the pain. Hurrah for us all. Love Monica
