  1. Back from Cuba! Tanned, Toned & hit my 1/2 way goal of 75 lbs lost!

    I've been absent from the forum for the past few weeks as I was enjoying the beautiful beaches of Santa Maria (Santa Clara) Cuba. I had a fabulous 2 weeks at the Memories Azul resort and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, affordable all inclusive vacation. I had the tough decision each day of deciding which of the 7 pools, or area by the ocean I would relax at. I also had the difficult task of choosing which of 7 ala carte restaurants or 4 buffets we'd dine at...Ah, decisions, decisions. ...
  2. 2 Month Surgi-versary today - down 48 lbs & man is it cold out here without the extra padding!

    Temperature: -17.0°C ( 1 degree F)
    Wind Chill: -26 C ( - 15 F)

    So as I write, the above temperature is what my city, Winnipeg, is at ... That's minus folks... Snow & ice on the ground, cold enough you need to layer up and you let your car run for a few minutes before driving if you want it to work.

  5. Finding a new passion for exercise - no more excuses!

    Surgery was 2 weeks ago today - I've had 2 weeks to liquify, re-couperate and rest my pampered derriere, but tomorrow is the beginning of a new regemin that includes exercise and a focus on pushing forward to work this tool, this gift of a new start, a rebirth of sorts.

    I am blogging this so I can say I've made this commitment to myself out loud. If I keep it inside I may not follow through, but if I have to answer to myself or others, I will. That's how it works for me.
