NSVssssssss

On Saturday, I rode a horse.  Not the western beach pony ride thing.... I rode a show jumper again.  23 years after I sold my last horse.... I got on.  And they were right.  It's like riding a bike.  I hadn't forgot anything.  It was so incredibly freeing.... OMG.  I don't have words honestly.

Then Sunday, I went with my husband to a birthday party for my daughter's friend.  It was at a roller skating rink.  My husband got his skates and went off with my daughter.  I sat with the other mothers and talked.  He came back around and said, "You want to skate?"

Fat me would have said NO WAY.  No way I want some one to watch me.  People will look at me.  NO WAY.  So, I said YES!  And I did.  I did it.  And people watched me... and I didn't care ;)

Dreams Come True

I want to talk about this picture.....


This is a picture of two of my greatest dreams.... I am skinny.  I am standing in front of property at the beach in Costa Rica that I OWN.  Two life time dreams have come true.... and I ain't even 40 yet darn it.

MIA

Totally MIA - totally off the radar....

After my unfill, I gained a couple of pounds back and got half of my unfill put back in, mostly because I was freaking out.  But now, I am stable and I feel good.  I am trying to hydrate more and I think I am at a good, long term place.  I stay away from that scale and actually do that crazy thing that skinny people talk about doing... you know that thing about having a pair of jeans that you try on to check yourself?  Yup, that's my trick.  The size 6 low rise from American Eagle.  When they are too loose, I eat more.  When they are too tight, I eat less.  Works well and I can ignore that piece of equipment that has graced my bathroom floor for the past 39 years.

While I have been gone, life has been going on.  People suck.  People hurt each other.  People do selfish and horribly cruel things to other people.  And worse, people hate themselves and self destruct.  I have been watching the world around me.  And while I see cruelty, I also see beauty.  I see my babies.  I see kindness.  I see love.  I see hope and possibilities.  I see new beginnings.  Spring is coming ;)

Make your journey count.  Make every minute count.  Massive weight loss is life altering.  It opens so many doors, we just need to have our eyes open and our hearts ready.
