We joined some family and friends at the Calypso water park just outside of Ottawa today. It was my first time going there. My only previous water park experience was at Wonderland where I had only gone in the lazy river and wave pool (climbing up stairs to slides was too much for me).

I am proud to share that I did several water slides and climbed many stairs WITHOUT stopping. Hubby (who has also lost 30 pounds while supporting my efforts) also found it much easier than previous times. I also got brave enough to try some "moderate" level slides. Not bad for this chicken!

My other NSV was in the wave pool. Turns out my tankini bottoms are a little too big and the full size bottoms became bikinis after several waves (easily fixed without others seeing...except once...waves stopped and I was in thigh deep water...tummy and midriff exposed). And my tankini top was loose like a t-shirt instead of skin tight. Wardrobe malfunctions that I don't mind!

And I had my weekly treat and the end of our visit in the form of a small soft serve twist cone. With all the exercise today, I ate that without a single ounce of guilt.
