So, I'm celebrating...I'm celebrating 101lbs gone, down from 280lbs May7, 2015 to 179lbs at my weigh in last Friday morning Feb. 26, 2016!
Something about the 101lbs gone, is so satisfying. Like a weight has been lifted. I feel like it's been a very long journey on Ideal P
This past weekend, my husband and I went on a little get away to a Bed and Breakfast along the Bruce Trail. It was beautiful, snowy, cold and a wonderful time away to rest and relax. The hosts of the bed and breakfast offered to let us borrow their very nice snowshoes. How could we say no to that wonderful offer?
...So off we trekked. It was beautiful, and it was hard trekking. We were basically creating a new path in the snow for most of the hike. I stopped at one point and I said to my husband, "Man, imagine doing this with an extra 101 lbs on your body." I would not have done it. Even the extra weight of the snowshoes was heavy enough extra weight to carry as we trekked along. I love this picture of me, because when I saw it I could not believe my eyes. Do my legs actually look like that? Is my coat actually that big on me?
It was such a JOY to be able to appreciate the body that God has given me, and allowed me a second chance at caring for.
I can't believe I have not eaten any fruit since 10 months ago. Sometimes I worry about my senses being dulled, because when I cut up fruit for my foster son, or a slice the homemade bread I have baked, I don't even smell those delicious aromas anymore... It makes it easier to be around those things, and prevents cravings, but I actually worry that my sniffer is somehow broken! :( This makes me sad.
