Energy up the Wazoo!

May 15, 2010

I think I almost forgot how much of a hyper person I always used to be.  I have lost about 54 lbs now and while you can tell when you look at me, it is even more obvious in my energy levels.  I feel almost like I'm going to burst out of myself sometimes.  In a way it's annoying when I want to do things that make me sit and focus for a long time.  However,  it is also even more so... incredibly awesome.  My bursts don't last forever, but they last long enough to actually do things besides sit on my booty!  

I even want to exercise and move my body often.  I feel so happy I can climb a flight of stairs without feeling like I'm dying that I actually like to do it.  I can walk across the campus at my work without cursing the person I feel I can blame that I have to walk to that part of my school.  I randomly dance and shake my booty.  I can't sit at my video game (WoW) for more than 2 hours before I have to get up and do something (anything!).  I break into a simple Yoga stretch pose at work while I'm waiting for the kids to come into the classroom.  I can walk between the aisles and fit... and I don't knock crap off the kids' desks as much (still do a little though) with my booty.  I can fall asleep at night because I can breathe and I'm actually tired because I used my energy!  I feel in a "good" mood more often.  I'm really happy even though I'm moving to a new apartment, ending the semester and planning a wedding... instead of anxious all the time (which is awesome because I'm supposed to be excited and happy about these things!!).  I actually feel like cooking instead of like it's just too hard.  I can actually have intimate time that isn't just uncomfortable.

I'm no where near done losing weight.  I have a long way to go still.  It is very encouraging, however, to feel so good already.  I still have moments I miss eating, food, binging, or being able to sit on my booty for hours on end... but remembering how much better I feel now helps me miss it much much less and get past the weaker moments.
