Back to Reality

I think I can start saying that I vacationed and that "normal" is starting to return!! It was nice to see my family again but it was also nice to return from the land of Ice Cream. We had Ice Cream at least 7 times in the 13 days we were in Illinois. Bernie was shocked when I told him that I was Ice Creamed out. But I did stick to my commitments to myself and now I can say that I went on vacation and continued my successful weight loss journey.

What's next on my books?? The Okangan Marathon in in October so I'm going to start getting back into my training schedule. I'm also thinking about talking to a personal trainer to discuss my loose skin issue and start working on building some muscle to help with the some of those issues.

While on vacation, I did decide that I would stop hating my upper arms so much and that I should be proud of my loose and wobbly skin!! Since I have worked hard to get it and I should be able to wear tank tops if I want to since I can now fit into them. But that I really need to start working on building some muscles to help reduce the wobble!!

The most important thing that I learned is that if you make a plan that is attainable and not so far out there that you set yourself up for failure and follow it then the outcome will be 99.9% in your favor.
