After my whole bowel ordeal and learning about the growths on my pancreas and lung lobes I was thrilled to be going on vacation with my family! We had such an awesome time! There were so many non-scale victories on this vacation! The first huge one was the minute I sat on the airplane and *gasp* the seat belt clicked locked without a problem! I had enough space to fly comfortably and my knees and legs were not up against the seat in front of me! Then.....at all the theme parks we went to I fit on EVERY SINGLE RIDE!!! I have never ever been able to go on a ride with my kids ever! It was so awesome.....EVERY ride....not just some of them...but all of them! My husband and I even went on space mountain together! Ahhh it was such bliss! Every day I was full of energy and managed to walk around all day without needing to sit on benches for breaks! I got down and sat on the curb or pavement to watch parades comfortably with my children....and best of all I believe I am down at least 3 pounds....but tomorrow is my official weigh-in day so will know more then!! Celebrated my three month surgery milestone while there....ate at numerous restaurants...thank you IHOP for my morning poached egg and piece of turkey sausage....and Olive Garden for the delicious bean soup! Yum-O!

First off....here is my before picture! Ahhh!

And now some pics from our trip!

AND...how can I not share a pic of my kids!

Ohhh and my daughter had the Bippity Boppity Boutique...full princess experience!
