Let's Do This...


It was supposed to be a fun day of splashing, floating, water sliding, mingling, and clicking of my camera!

A day like this requires a swimsuit, though!

Since I have gained this weight, a dear friend who lost hers, handed her swimsuits down to me, when we went on our Colorado River Adventure, and I had nothing to wear. That was 2017, so, unfortunately, I'm a bit broader now, allowing the once loose-fitting suits to be rather tight. After a few try-on's, I decided on one and headed to the park.

After a few hours, I was done. Getting in and out of the lazy river was difficult. Standing along the edge for pictures was uncomfortable as I felt eyes shame the old fat lady. I had forgotten my sunhat, so I had no protection for my face and shoulders. Sunscreen isn't enough for me. Once the pizza, chicken nuggets, and fries were gone, I headed home, discouraged I had limits and at the same time realizing what needed to happen. 

When I got on my laptop, I went straight to a website I had seen advertised called Noom. As I went through the process of joining, I choose to do an eight-month program, intending to look good for next summer, and our end of summer cruise to Alaska that has already been booked last month. 

Since I had been to the doctors recently, I knew my weight was 234. I  was surprised when I stepped on my scale, and it showed 230, yay, we're off to a good start!
