Last night Norm and I went and got sushi for dinner. I ADORE sushi btw, but that’s not the purpose of my post today J After we ate, we went to Home Depot to pick up sand for our centerpieces for the wedding. We grabbed a 50 lb. bag to start with, and checked out, and loaded up the car. We at some point went over a speed bump, and his car made a strange noise. He proceeded to say "No wonder, there’s an extra hundred pounds back there!" (There was also a box of cat liter and food along with the sand) and then…. It hit me!

Almost two years ago… my weight was the equivalent to about 8 ½ fifty pound bags of sand. And now today… It’s just a little over 3 bags! I lost 5 fifty pound bags of sand. I got teary eyed for a few minutes, until norm made fun of me for being a wishy washy sissy la-la cry baby….. I haven’t had a wow moment in quite a while, they're few and far between the further out you get! and just thought I would share J

Success is a journey... not a destination!

Awesome!! I had a similar realization early out. I had to carry my cousin up the stairs and could barely make it to the top - I later asked his MOm how much he weighed and here I had lost almost double that - the year before I would have been carrying that weight on my own body!

Congrats on a great wow!!!

There's nothing little about that!!! It goes along with all of the major accomplishments you have experienced over the past few years and so many more to go!

Oh - and I'm starting to get wedding fever FOR you my dear! I am sooooo excited about this wonderful time in your and Norm's life!!! When you said you went out to get stuff for your wedding center pieces I kind of smiled and remembered doing all that stuff for my wedding....and actually miss it! lol Then I remember some of the stress, too...and I'm perfectly content being happy FOR you!

Instead of complaining that the rosebush has thorns, be happy that the thorn bush has roses.

LOL I'm getting super excited myself! I absolutely can NOT wait. Yes, it's been crazy stressful, but Norm and I have done EVERYTHING together so far, so he's a HUGE help! A little over 3 months to go... WOOOOOOHOOOOO :)
