QOTD: Are you an introverted or extroverted person? Do you think this has changed at all over the course of your life? I'm an extrovert and have always been one, even my elementary school report cards mentioned how lively and gregarious (to put it nicely) I was. Maybe a little too much at times. I do a lot of public presentations and I'm very comfortable doing them...I even enjoy it! Center of attention thing, ya know. And when I'm in a social setting or with a group of friends, I'm very outgoing and fun to be around, so I'm told. But I also cherish, seek out and enjoy my alone time. Probably more now than when I was younger.

It's funny...when I first started this journey I had lost myself. I didn't want to be around anyone. I was bloated and in pain and depressed and my mobility was suffering as well. Now, just 7 months later I feel like the real me is coming back and that makes me happier than I can say. Chokes me up...I'm so grateful that I've gotten this second chance. So many people don't. My sister died at 56 (3 years younger than I am now) from cancer. She had also unsuccessfully fought obesity all her life. I still miss her more than I can say. Even now I catch myself wanting to pick up the phone and tell her something.

Husband and I were going to go kayaking today, but decided to save it for next weekend when we can get a morning rental. I can just see myself getting burnt to a crisp out on the water, being out there in the afternoon with the hot sun reflecting off the sal****er. I'm really looking forward to doing it though...a great workout without stressing my knee or foot! So husband took Sophie for a bath...she looks and smells so pretty. And it's exactly TEN YEARS since her very first bath and grooming.

Today has been a rough one for me. Weighed myself this morning and lost 1.4 lbs this week not great but down 6 lbs in 2 weeks isn't terrible. Just having a fat day and have felt ugh all day. We were supposed to go to Six Flags today checked the weather at least a dozen times and of course when we got there it was pouring rain so we turned around and came right back. I don't deal well with change at all. One of the major issues I'm working on with my therapist so needless to say I was miserable all day. Which drives me crazy because I want to be a good role model for my kids and want them to know things happen but to make the best of it and be positive. Really hard for me!

QOTD - I am now an extrovert but took me a really long time to get there. I was always shy growing up but when I became a special ed teacher it slowly changed me and now I am very outgoing.
