8 1/2 months out ...

Mar 25, 2011

 I haven't posted anything in a while. Things have been going quite well. I am down to 173.5 pounds, which is amazing. I just started wearing a size 12. I spilt something on my shirt yesterday at school and I started asking my students if anyone had an extra shirt that I could borrow for the day. I realized after putting it on that I couldn't have done that 9 months ago. My students wouldn't have had a shirt that fit me. It's this type of little thing that makes me realize how far I've come in less than a year. 

The most bizarre thing is when I fold my clothes. The pants look too small and the shirts look tiny. I know they are mine, but I still can't believe I fit into them. The shirts are the funniest ... when I go to put them on, they look too small, so I try to stretch them before putting them on. When they don't stretch, I "know" they won't fit, but they do. Such a strange sensation....

I'm doing extremely well with my vitamins and supplements these days. I have a pretty good schedule that works for me. Two calcium when I get up in the morning. My vitamins during my planing period. Two more calcium at lunch. Another round of vitamins when school gets out. Two more calciums at the end of the day. I don't do as well on the weekends though. I am very schedule oriented.

I've been exercising pretty regularly as well. I go to the YMCA and swim on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. I am starting to run on the indoor track on Tuesdays and Thursdays. If the weather is warm I ride my bike between 10-13 miles on the weekends. I am planning on participating in a mini-triathalon on June 4. I am quite excited about it. I'm not trying to be competitive ... I just want to finish. I love having a goal in mind. It helps keep me focused. 

I will update another month ... so far, so good
