Mary B & ME.jpg
It was a wonderful weekend! My son married an amazing woman and we enjoyed every moment. One of the reasons I had surgery was so I could stop hiding in photos and feeling self conscious at events instead of being fully present and enjoying myself. I have a long way to go toward my ultimate goal, but I had lost enough by the wedding to feel great. My new (size 2) DIL is so wonderful and my goal was that she and my son would thoroughly enjoy themselves, which they did. (Picture is me with my new DIL.)
I ate a little of all the great food and even some wedding cake and a glass of prosecco without gaining a pound, but it may be because we danced for 2 hours at the reception. We hosted all the events this weekend (rehearsal dinner, reception & brunch) and I admit the stress took a toll on my eating the last few days. But I still lost 5lbs this month.
I'm losing more slowly than many of you but I plan to keep at it. I've added an hour of exercise in the morning (using a DVD) and hope to get back to tennis and more activities this summer as well. I'm so grateful to all of you here who are truly my support system. Wouldn't have made it this far without you.
