2 month update
So life is crazy busy and its almost 2 am here. i've been on the go since 6 am yesterday. Between the job, the business, and fishing season i have virtually no down time so I am up at 2 am hanging here while I wait for the last load of laundry to be done so I can fall into bed. The cool thing about this crazy life is that i am able to do this crazy kind of life for the first time in so many years. I couldn't have done this at all without the sleeve.
I mentioned to the honey the other day that for the first time in years I look people in the eye when I talk to them. I smile at complete strangers. Stop and talk to other fisherman on the shore instead of ducking my head and scooting past them as fast as my waddling butt could go. I was ashamed to be me for a very long time. Nowadays, I can slip by people in crowded places without having to turn sideways with a hope and prayer that i could squeeze past with a minimum of brushing my oversized body against them . Life is good.
On the down side right now i am in a little stall. It's been almost 2 weeks since I lost anything. The thing is I haven't worked out at all this week and I am pretty sure thats the problem right there. In fact, I am 100% sure that is the problem. But I have been so busy doing eveything else under the sun that I really didn't feel like I had time. Time to re-prioritize again. I let everyone else run me here and there, hither and yon and I need to get back into my "Me Time." It's pretty easy to fall out of I have noticed.
Here's the latest... me in my kickass new rainboots with my gorgeous new umbrella getting ready to head out to pick up the kidlet last week.

Katie, I figure I'm about on schedule for the stall so not too worried. Plus clothes are fitting differently so that's reassuring too. I think my body remembers 181 from about 4 years ago and is revisiting for a bit lol. My next stall will probably hit about 163 since that's another weight I was at for a while. 135 is what my weight was when I got out of boot camp so I am hoping that is where my body decides to land but if I hit 160ish and stop I wont cry about it lol. I am just happy to not be hurting all the time or not able to breathe or trying to regulate which medicine to take when.
