10 lbs to go!

Sep 11, 2011

I am extremely excited about only having 10 lbs to go till goal.  WOW!  It has been a good ride to say the least and I am hoping for an even better one going forward.  I finally love to have pictures taken of me and I know I need to get some body shots in but haven't been able to get to that point yet.  I have so much energy and today I took my 4 year old out for a walk --- we walked up the "big" hill in the neighborhood and I wasn't even winded.  That blew me away.  He was puffing and I didn't even have a problem.  Last spring it was the insurmountable hill and now it's easy peasy.  

I just found out this week that I am being sent to a training for work.  They actually video tape you while you do presentations and talking.  I am so glad that I am not who I was a year ago.  I don't think I could have handled seeing myself on video as big as I was.  It will be interesting to see myself now on video.  We'll see what it does to me and if it affects my head. 

I do have issues with what I see in mirror.  I notice that I am smaller but still the same shape in a sense.  It  surprises me to see my shadow.  I don't expect to see the curves of my waist and hips -- I still expect to see the pear.  Life is good -- I feel like I am alive again.  I took so much for granted when I was younger and "in shape".  Now I am relishing the moments -- I have read other blogs of folks who are where I am and the "men" moments of where you feel being checked out or "considered" are so unexpected.  All of that is interesting and difficult to process at times.  I can understand how people get off track and relationships change.  I am fortunate in that I still love being with hubby and he knows me fat or thin.  It also helps that I am discovering me for the first time.  I am difficult, temperamental, loving, giving, and hard to handle at times.  Hopefully we progress and make the most of our relationship. 

Sorry if this is a boring blog moment just introspective today and wanted to write what is going on in my head -- for me.  Good luck out there and keep losing!  God bless you -- HE is mighty and HE is with you in this journey. God has been there for me.  Peace! k
