Vacation pics!!

I barely managed to survive my cruise. I had way too much fun, and...ate way to much food. But, I enjoyed every bite even though my sleeve is saying some 4-letter words at me.

I got to go swimming with dolphins, swimming in the ocean, jet skiing, kayaking, and horseback riding. I spent the week doing boot camp on the ship and spin classes and running with an amazing ocean view. (based on the scale though it would seem as though I sat and ate 24/7 lol).

The only thing that made me really self conscious about my weight was the horseback riding because they gave me some Mexican horse that was really small....and then gave me some guy to help me on the horse that was maybe 5'3, 100lbs (seriously, how was he going to help me on a horse...). I was pretty sure I was either going to make the horse tip over or break it's back. We had to climb up a steep rocky moutain trail and boy...I was wishing I was 100 lbs lighter. But I got on/off with no problems and I survived.

This is the first vacation in my life where I have any pics of me when I got back - I loved the free photo sessions, and made my friend stop at every one of them. So, I thought I'd share.

Just for some perspective - my before pic

OMG see your pictures just got me that much more excited for me and my husbands cruise in August. We booked a 7 day one for our one year wedding anniversary!!!! Congrats on your success and I'm glad you had a blast!

There is only one success--to be able to spend your life in your own way.

So glad to see you out there enjoying life; that's is what all of us hope for after our surgeries. Looks like you had a great time and congrats on all your success! Love all the pics!

If you fear nothing, then you love nothing. If you love nothing, what joy can there be in life?
