Retirement Ceremony -- Last Friday (Pic)

on 1/31/11 12:43 am

As most of you know I was having some anxiety over attending my friends retirement ceremony last week.  I've been avoiding my Air Force friends because I had gotten so heavy. I'm now a  weight lower than when I retired 4 years ago. 

I'm so glad I went.  It was great seeing my old friends and the ceremony was very special!  First, they couldn't get over how long my hair was.  I always wore is fairly short...I was in the military after all.  Second, I kept getting "you aren't supposed to look BETTER as you get older."  That made it a good ego day for me.

Attached is a pic DH took.  (I love him, but he takes terrible pictures.)  I look kinda poochy, but I'm happy with it.  I'm still over 200 pounds. I should have a pooch.

It was a really good day!
