Well, we returned home today from the Great Wolf Lodge here in the Poconos and it was a blast. The boys had no idea we were going and were totally surprised. What a great place to visit!
Would I have gone on the waterslides before the surgery??? No way! I'd be too embarrassed. Did I go on them this weekend? Sure did and had a blast. It was so much fun just enjoying myself with my family. It was funny because my husband says he sees a difference in my confidence level and I think he's right. I have to say I wasn't very self aware and didn't focus on my weight. Although I have to say it's still hard to imagine myself thinner. I really had no problems climbing up all the stairs and plus I had to carry a double tube at the same time. I definitely had an arm and leg workout this weekend. I felt the burn and it felt good.
I went on tons of things with Nicholas & Michael. It was almost like my weight didn't matter. The mental part of this process is very interesting.
We ate out a few times and I think I did really well. Yesterday at dinner I had chicken breast. This morning I had 1/3 of an egg white omelet with cheese and 2 bites of potatoes. For dinner tonight 3/4 of a crab cake. I tried to stick with high proteins for the most part. Now, I have to think when I order my meals and I'm really happy that I'm aware of what I'm putting in my mouth.
So all in all, it was a great trip and now I really can't wait to go on our cruise in July. I can only imagine how much I'm going to lose between now and then.
