Playing by the numbers

Jan 23, 2010

I've hit my first extended stall.  I've been 161 since the first of the year and have managed to bounce back and forth 3 lbs (depending on the time of day).  This means two things:  One, I need to leave the scale alone for awhile; Two, I need to be patient.  I'm not done losing yet. I know I'm not, but I've started to slow down now that I've reach the last 20lbs I want gone.  I knew it would happen and I can't ...won't freak out about it.   It is frustrating though.

Lets focus on the positive. I'm losing inches. Check out these totally awesome numbers!  I can't believe my year surgiversary is right around the corner.  Time sure has flown.

I was checking out at Kroger yesterday and the lady ringing me up was scanning all my fresh fruits and veggies and made the comment that I had a lot of healthy food. I told her...I'll tell ya something. I had weight loss surgery so I have to eat right. She said "you did? But you're thin."   That is THE first time someone has called me thin ...EVER.  LOL.  I know I'm smaller but thin?  Meh.  She was being nice.   My fat thinking brain can accept smaller but not thin.

Anyway, I've got some fun picture of the smaller me. The pants I have on are an older pair that at one time I could not button.







































And I had to try the both legs in one pant leg......LOL


Kinda tight with both legs in there but I'll keep these pants around for this kind of comparison.  You'll seem them again when I hit my goal.



I started water aerobics at the beginning of the month.  I go three times a week.  It's fun. I feel really good when I'm done.  Who knew you could sweat when you're wet.  Okay, maybe not sweat but I get hot from the workout.

Dance class on Monday nights is fun too. I don't work up a sweat but I really enjoy it and I'm moving so I think it's all good.
