RNY on 02/11/13

I check in occasionally but wow my life is full these days so I am not online much. I?m 63 now and after a very heavy day of physical labor on the homestead yesterday, I worked out 2 1/2 hours this morning and then went home and mowed the huge back yard. Decided to go have lunch in Wasilla someplace I?d never been.When I got my gigantic lunch of halibut I couldn?t help but remark that it was a massive amount of food. The tiny waitress said, well for little bitty people "like us" it'll feed us a couple times. :)

Later she boxed up my food and made another comment about me being tiny. Let me tell you, I NEVER EVER thought to hear those words spoken of big fat me! I have yet to reach my number-on-the-scale goal, but fitness is really getting close. Next year I have a 10-day rafting trip in the Grand Canyon, then I?m doing a SpartanRace for which I?m training now.

Life still has challenges but I?m still very happy I finally got my RNY. Really best decision ever.
