Weight Loss Update - 10 September

Okay, drum roll please - I was at the doctor's office on Tuesday and saw a great number there, but I really didn't expect what I would see again today when I stepped on the scale at the Y after swimming today - down another 2 pounds, making a total of 12 pounds now. 
I'm very happy with the way the weight is coming off. I couldn't believe it when I saw that number and the balance balanced where it did. I'm ecstatic!
I can say I'm seeing some changes. My suit is starting to get baggy, so I'm going to need to buy a new one soon. My breathing is also getting better and I can walk more than I could before without getting out of breath.
Today I also decided it was time to take some time off - a vacation. I looked up some info for a place not to far away, and what I thought would be a simple day trip, will actually be about three days. So I went onto FB and messaged my friend from Writer's Guild and asked if she would like to go on a three day vacation in the near future. She was totally up for it, and chose the dates. I called the Lodge we'll be staying at to find out if they had availability and they do so the check will be in the mail to him on Monday for the 17th to the 19th of October. I am really looking forward to this little getaway. There will be a fair amount of walking, and as we both need to lose weight, it will be a very good vacation for both of us in what we will be doing and in the exercise we'll be getting as well. Of course I will have my camera so I will have pictures when I get back. It does mean I will be absent from myLot for three full days. I'll make up for it when I get back. 
So time to count down to my mini vacation.
Do you have any upcoming plans? Thanks for reading.

Congrats on the weight loss! That's awesome! Doesn't it feel good when you start to feel a difference? I am so happy for you to be able to take a mini vacation. Sometimes they are the best ones. I hope you and your friend enjoy your visit and get in the exercise you want.

@just4him I think the stepping down part probably has to do with balance. I know it does for me. I'm sure that you will be able to accomplish this soon. Yay on sending in the payment for your trip. Please make sure to let us know how it goes and take a lot of pictures.

@simone10 It could be. I also noticed when I did take a step down, my left leg protested a lot. It's the leg I broke last year at this time. So I'm still working the kinks out of my leg where walking and climbing are concerned.
I'm really looking forward to my two trips now and will take lots of pictures.

Thank you. Yes it does and I'm making great progress. I actually climbed the stairs like a normal person yesterday and today. Still one stepping it down, but I'm making progress and that's what counts. I'm really looking forward to this vacation. I sent the payment on Monday.

@Jessicalynnt It's funny how we know what to do, but don't do it. You'll get it back off.

I'm excited about the trip. I sent in the payment on Monday. Now I'm just waiting and counting down the days. October should be perfect for the color as well. I should get some great pictures with my camera.

My husband and I are leaving early tomorrow morning for our trip to Las Vegas. For the next five days, I won't be on MyLot much either, but I am looking forward to our mini vacation!
