9 months out...goals reached!

Jun 19, 2010

I tried to hit my major goal before the trip but missed it by 3lbs. But I knew with the extra exercise I would hit it at CCV would more than likely do it. Here's the Excerpt from my diary....

Whew!  It's been one helluva vacation! I hit a couple of goals while at CCV. Last Wed. I finally hit Onderland! I weighed 196.4 on Patty's scale. Going by her numbers I lost 8.1 lbs while there. At home this morning I weigh 197 on my scales, which is usually about 2lbs heavier than WW....we'll see what's what on Tuesday! I do know I need to kick up the exercise to get this last 50lbs off. It's been relatively easy up to now, it's still hard to accept I've lost 156+ lbs! Although it seems slow the losses have been swift in appearance...it's hard to watch your physical self change from week to week!

Another goal.... I hit my 1000th dive while there. Coming out of Lita's Hole an Eagle Ray was there to greet me just a few feet away. It actually stopped and watched me for a minute...too cool, and a real omen of things to come. It was also very cool that both these momentous occasions happened on my 9 month anniversary from surgery...6/15/10.

Although all the gals on OH warned me, it was really weird to have people you've known for 12+ years not recognize you at all! True, I have lost 100+ lbs since they saw me last but it was still hard to accept that I had changed so much...to me I still look the same! I admit at first it was nice to get the reinforcement of a job well done but after a week of it, it got old really quick! I realized what a topic of conversation I must have been when total strangers would ask "Are you the lady that lost over 150lbs?" How rude!!! I don't mind answering those questions from my friends but it's no strangers damned business!

Oh well...it is what it is!
