Summer has arrived !

Jun 21, 2009

I'm taking a short vacation.  Leaving Tuesday and spending a couple of weeks fishing and partying in Saskatoon with my brother and sister-in-law.   I'm really hyped about this vacation.  It's been a tough winter.  Working extra hard at the office and spending weekends living at Sick Kids hospital with my little grandson.  It will be a well-deserved vacation.  My grandson is home for 13 days between his bone marrow transplants.  He has his next transplant procedure of June 30th.  Of course, I would love to see him through this whole journey, but I work five days a week and I truly need a vacation.  Sitting on the quiet shores, fishing, seems like a good way to clear the mind and de-stress.

I'm still holding about 30 pounds above my goal weight, but, thankfully, I feel normal now.  Size 12 is fine with me.  It's not size 26.  :)   I still work out with my trainer twice per week and do some cardio on my own, in-between.  When I come back from my vacation, I'm gonna step it up, again.   I've built some good muscles over the past 6 months.  I can plank and a do push-ups.  All the things I only dreamed of... when I weighed over 300 pounds.

Life is good.   Sure, there are challenges and "bumps" along the way, but look for those rays of sunshine in between, to keep you sane and smiling.

Today is the first day of summer.   May it be a good one.

Cheers,
Karen
