11 Months And Getting Wet

Sep 11, 2012

So I tried on my old dive suit this month.  My last SCUBA log entry was 1993.  The suit fit me perfectly so I immediatly sprung into action.  After all, how long will that wetsuit fit?  Maybe just for a month or two.  I got with my local dive shop and updated my gear.  Let me tell ya, the cost of that puts my clothes shopping into perspective but I got geared up and took a refresher course.  This weekend I'm going to be taking an advanced open water course and maybe even going ocean wreck diving before my surgiversary.  Before my sleeve I had pretty much accepted I'd never get to dive again.  What a thrill to reenter the water and feel better than I did when I was diving 20 years ago.  

Weight wise I was stalled most of the month but still managed to lose about 9 lbs.  I'm sneaking up on 200 lbs and should make it be before my surgiversary in October.  And I'm a stones throw from losing half my body weight.  What a difference and what a ride.  I can't wait for my next NSVs because this month was UN FREAKING REAL.
