My last weight loss journey; still at it

I HATE food logs and tracking calories. But I know this is what works for me. So back to the mind numbing boredom of tracking. “If you can track it, you can achieve it.” Alux.com Very true.

Let’s ride The balloon was inflated and ready to go when they pulled up. After they were given some basic instructions, the sky was starting to change color on the horizon.

Is this it

Is this it? As I sit; gazing at the heavens above, I often wonder – is this it? My body is trapped, gravity bound, to the soil beneath me. My mind soars to the stars; the possibilities beyond.
