809.5 Kilometers Swam... Going to Canada, Eh!

Oct 18, 2012

Yes, I have reached a wonderful number, 503 miles so far!  For my Canadian Friends - I will be on Victoria in British Columbia this weekend, so PLEASE let me know if you will be around the Sindey Area ;)

Speaking of British Columbia, I hear that is one of two Provinces that is actually working with patients to get them cosmetic surgery after significant weight loss.  From the research I have spent learning about reconstructive surgery - NEVER say cosmetic when you are trying to get your surgery covered - and am looking forward to more insurance companies realizing it is medically necessary.  It's sad that a person needs to be classified a 3 or higher on the scale (1 - 5) to be considered reconstructive.  But knowing how to submit to Insurance or even Medicare/Medicaid is going to help you tremendously.  I tell everyone to dig deep, in the information age!

Well, folks, I swore I was going to weigh myself this morning, but I ended up forgetting to do it.  I had a bad bout of insomnia, woke around 2am, and never fell back asleep.  Things are still going in the correct direction, and I am so eager to get through this last third of the main journey.  Truly, to be in maintenance, it seems so far away but totally obtainable!

Here is my plug for Candy Free Halloween ;)  Every year, I give treat bags, single serve popcorn, PlayDoh, anything BUT candy.  Believe it or not, the kids ALWAYS make comments about coming to my house!  Just a little thought, cheap bags from the dollar store, and you can create fun without adding to the candy overload kids will have for the first week or more in November.  Sam's Club, and I believe Costco carry packages of PlayDoh, and the kids totally dig it.

Remember, if you break any task down into smaller goals and work up to it, it is easier to get there, and you are less likely to give up trying!

Stay Positive!
