Milestones met
Oct 24, 2010
Today is our 2nd wedding anniversary. What a difference 2 years makes. My health is so much better since I have made the decision to take back my life and get healthier. Today I am 70 pounds lighter than the day we got married. I am no longer taking blood pressure meds and I can go for a normal walk with my husband and not feel the stress on my body. I can keep up with him too. At 6"8" it is difficult on his back to take short slow strides, so I can walk faster and that is way better for him. This evening we will celebrate by going out for Thai food - my favorite. And, then to a movie. We have never been to a movie together. Dan had wanted to take me on many occasions, but I had always come up with some excuse because I feared not being able to fit, or be comfortable, in the theater seats. I'm really looking forward to our date tonight. I'm sure I'll be comfortable.This weekend I also met another milestone. I finally have been able to get into my drysuit, zip it up and purge it of air. I was able to get into it 3 weeks ago but my middle prevented me from purging the air out from below the waist!! LOL. That was funny when it looked like a balloon! This is just a step closer to being able to put my own fins on again. I'm hoping I can cross that goal off of my list when I get into the water. I am really excited to be able to go scuba diving again. The last time I went was before surgery and I was wearing my larger suit which was already becoming dangerously large. Now that this one fits, I'll have to get a bunch of diving in before I shrink out of it!
