WOW Moment x’s 2 This week has been slightly stressful to say the least. This is why the two WOW moments I have enjoyed have even more meaning to me. First one is I am in the 350's for the first time in a very long time. I do not anticipate I will be staying around too long as there is just not much to see. I picked up the tourist stuff but do not think I will stay long enough to meet many people. I have dropped 6 pounds this week and anticipate dropping some more by next week - thanks in part to fill 3. I am stoked about reaching the 350's but looking forward to being below 350lbs and able to get on the scale at my PCP. On to WOW moment number 2 and to me the more important one. For as long as I can remember I have used a certain type of towel. I have joked with my closest friends about it coming from Nashville Tent & Awning Company. This things are huge. I think they are a size larger than a beach towel. They have a name and maybe some of you are familiar with it. Anyways, from the time I first started using these I have never been able to wrap it completely around my body. Since August it has begin to get closer and closer including being able to close at the top and bottom but not around my stomach. Well today was the day. The thing went all around everywhere. It was an amazing moment for me. I sat there and did the happy dance and I wanted to share my joy with you all. I appreciate your friendship and your willingness to share in my joy. Off to Chattanooga because Cayleigh & Emma Grace say they need to see the butterflys. I find comfort in knowing what butterflys mean to many of us and the girls think it is the most precious portion of the aquarium. Much Love Paul - The LBG

Way to go Paul. I am very familiar with those "bath sheet" towels. I remember how thrilled I was when my oversized towel would fit all the way around me. Now I can actually overlap a regular size bath towel enough to fasten it around my body.  My guess is that you will be saying bye bye to, not only the 350s, but also the 300s very soon! Enjoy the butterfly display. That is one of my favorite exhibits too.

P E A C E - It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.

Congrats Paul!!!  I can't wait for that wow moment.  I've never had a towel to fit all the way around me.  Well, like you said, the ones from nashville tent and awning.LOL.  Anyway, keep up the good work and have fun in Chattanooga. Melissa
