231.8
As of Aug 25th, I weighed 231.8. I would've liked to have lost more this month. I'm sure it's because I haven't exercised in about 3 weeks. My sons both started football and I'm at their practices every night so I haven't been able to walk w/ my friend that I was walking with. And I haven't been swimming because there was no time afterwork before practice. But now the boys have started school and I'll get home 3 hours before they have to be at practice, so I'll try to get some swimming in. I started walking mornings this week with another friend. I've got to pump it up a couple notches to really take advantage of this losing time.
My husband and I went to Las Vegas a couple weeks ago and believe me, we did a lot of walking in the 108 degree weather. If you're familiar with the strip, we walked from one end at the Wynn hotel to the other end to the Mandalay Bay. It was late and we were tired and took a cab back to the Wynn, the taxi driver said it was 4 miles and we had already done a half strip and back earlier that day. We weren't there long enough to see everything we wanted to, but it was a lot of fun. 4 months ago, there would've been no way I could've done all that walking in the heat. I'm still so amazed at my body and how I haven't had any back problems since surgery like I did before. Oh, and I didn't even worry about fitting in the airplane seats and not being able to buckle my seatbelt. It was fine and I was comfy. If I got on an airplane 4 months ago, I know I would've needed a seatbelt extender (embarrassing....)
Sunday was our anniversary and we took the kids to the last Fresno Grizzly baseball game of the season (romantic, huh?). I hadn't been in 2 or 3 years, but I remember how uncomfortable and squished I was in those stadium seats before - this time was very comfy. I can really see the changes in my body now. Even my toes look less chubby. I'm feeling really good and can't wait to see the scale continue to go down. I haven't been under 230lbs since????? Maybe 1990-91? Soon out of high school I'm sure. I haven't weighed under 200 since I was 14 yrs old. Sad
. I have so much to look forward to - I hope the same for everyone else that's struggling.
