Beach Boardwalk
I had a slow day at work today and my husband had the day off, so I took off early and we went to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. The last time I was there, I was just starting a non-surgical doctor monitored weight loss program. I didn't ride any of the rides and told my husband, "We'll ride when I'm thinner."
Today was that day. 160 lbs lighter, I rode everything I wanted to. The Giant Dipper, Undertow, Til-A-Whirl, even one where you lay on your stomach and spin around on a fake hang glider. It was so awesome to not worry wether or not I would fit on the ride. Let me tell you--a roller coaster is a whole different experience when you're not wedged in super tight and have room to move around!
I want to hold on to this feeling of awesomeness to keep me on the straight and narrow. I'm not going back to the sidelines any time soon!

That is so AWESOME!!! Congrats! I can't wait to come on here and tell you guys when I have that moment!!! I am almost 5 weeks out from my surgery and am 40 pounds down so far! I am so happy for you, you give me hope and inspiration! Keep up the good work.
What a great NSV! I'm still trying to gather up the courage & get on a roller coaster ride b4 the summer ends. Can you believe its August already? Summer is just too short, already getting the magazines advertising fall clothes & I'm like Noooo!, I don't want summer to go!!
No one surgery is better than the other, what works for one may not work for another.

You can totally do a coaster! Get yourself up on that Cyclone and have the crap scared out of you! :D This summer has indeed gone by really quickly, but I can't deny that I'm looking forward to cute fall looks. I have my first pair of knee-length boots and I am going to wear the **** out of them this fall/winter! :D
