Swimsuit Pic!!!!!

Jun 03, 2013

June is here already!  Boys get out of school this week and I can't believe it's summer... These last few months have flown by!  I can't believe it will be 5 months since my surgery soon.  Blows my mind.

This weekend was so fun... I actually felt small.  I felt good about myself. I have been in a stall for about 2 weeks since my huge drop of 8 lbs in one week but I haven't really let it get to me.  This weekend I had to get some blood drawn on Saturday morning for some labs and then I wanted to go to the farmer's market.  My husband wanted to come so I came home after my blood draw and we took his Jeep with the top down to the market.  When you have really long hair, its not really fun to have a car with the top down but I decided to indulge Jason and put a hat on for the day.  I can't tell you the last time I wore a hat all day... actually, I don't think I have EVER worn a hat all day.  But Saturday I did. We went to the market, then downtown to some little shops there and then rode around for a while just talking and looking at the scenery.  It was nice and I felt normal... I thought I looked cute in the hat, actually.  95 pounds ago, I would have never done that.  I needed my hair to distract from my beach ball body.

On Sunday, Jason and I took the boys to the beach, again in the Jeep.  This time I braided my hair and put the hat on only while we were in the car.  The water was finally not heart stopping cold so I got in and did a little boogie boarding. It was SO FUN!  I forgot how fun it was.  Unfortunately, I couldn't do it for long because my swimsuit bottoms kept trying to come off... I didn't want to scar my stepsons or the people at the beach so I stopped.  I will have to get another swimsuit that it more suited to moving around in the ocean.  I was using a boogie board a friend gave me so my husband took a picture of me with it and I put it on Facebook! Not only have I not taken a picture in a swimsuit in YEARS but I wouldn't post it on FB either.  I was half hidden by the boogie board but still... it's still something I never would have done 5 months ago.

Hopefully, this week I can up my exercise to prepare for the 5k in two weeks and also to keep going toward the 100 pound mark... I am 5 little, teeny, tiny, measly pounds away! I am so ready to hit 100 pounds lost... I would have never thought I would be here at 5 months out, if at all. Today, I'm a happy girl.
