I lost 105 lbs. for surgery and a healthier future, hoped writing this blog would help me stay focused. The slideshow shows me from my highest of 322 pounds down to 211 pounds. Since my retirement and cancer diagnosis, weight has crept back. I focused on the cancer in 2010-11. Well, now it's Spring of 2015 and I have regained almost all the weight, back up to 284. I guess I should change the title to Weight Loss Journey AGAIN.

Disney World with Frank
Friday was a LONG day, but it was a great one. We took Frank to Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios at WDW. He had never been to either park. Because it was Passover, we had to pack lunch and dinner in a cooler and eat in the car. That was a little hard because the meals came so late, but we had plenty of bottled water with us in the parks. We walked and walked and walked! We certainly got our exercise.
This morning we went to shul, and I was able to bench gomel. That's a special prayer for when you have come through a serious illness or accident. Wednesday I finished my radiation treatment; therefore, I am done my cancer treatment. I felt it was appropriate to say the special prayer, and the shul was nice enough to let me do it. It felt good.
When we got home, we all slept about two or three hours! We must have needed the rest.
Tomorrow we are taking Frank up to Altamonte Springs to Kosher Kat's. He is friends with the owners, so he is looking forward to seeing them. Then it is off to Epcot where we will hear the Nelson Tribute band. The band includes Ricky Nelson's twin sons who will be singing their father's songs. Except for having to pack a picnic lunch and dinner again in the cooler, it will be a lot of fun. It's so much easier to go to WDW when it is NOT Passover. We told Frank to come back for Hanukkah so we can go in all the great restaurants with him!
