So the trip out to Calgary was a little stressful with trying to carry everything and Bram, transfer flights, etc. but we made it there. In Calgary we were welcomed with snow and freezing cold weather. Some highlights of the trip were a visit to the Royal Tyrell Museum to see the dinosaurs, the Calgary Science Center, swimming, sliding and spending time with my Sister and Nephew. Alec had a difficult time with the trip, it was too much change after everything that had just happened and he became a different kid for the most part. Very emotional, reactive and generally unpleasant:-( As long as he was kept busy and his mind off things he was fine, otherwise he was a wreck. Bram seemed fine overall but often ran around the house saying home, Daddy. I ran/power walked on my sister’s treadmill nearly daily and lost more weight, putting me at a total of 18 lbs and fitting into a lower dress size again!

I am seriously thinking about joining a gym so I can continue this success. I can’t believe how exciting it is to finally lose this weight after all this time and I know I will succeed and keep it off.
