Certifiable

So we are officially Internationally Certified Scuba Divers! And my body is paying for it.

Apparently, my body is extremely positively buoyant. I needed to carry an extra 40 pounds of weight to get myself to sink. Not only did I need to have three people help me stand up once I got all my gear on, but I fell flat on my back when attempting to walk up the beach.

Naturally this has me thinking about my body and my weight. Fat floats, its less dense than water therefore creating a positively buoyant body. This does not make me feel so great about my body.
I also think I look terrible in a wet suit, all I could think was beached whale, beached whale!

This furthers my motivation to lose the poundage.

However, when I put on the first 20 pounds of weight (which is attached to a belt) all I could think about is: I used to weigh more that this (I used to carry almost 30 more pounds on my body) and this sucks. To carry the weight that I once carried (and thankfully, no longer do) did make me feel a lot better about the weight I have lost.

That is motivation to keep the poundage off.

I am going to enjoy my rainy day off.
