Back on Track

I went for a fill today -- .5 ccs, so I'm back to 6.3 ccs. I wanted a more aggressive fill, but the PA at True Results said to do it this way and to come back in four weeks. I have remained at the same weight -- thought I had gained, so that's okay. She asked why I hadn't been in since May, and I said that I live an hour-and-a-half away, teach school and subs are hard to find after spring break, and this was my first opportunity to come in. I have been exercising aggressively, but I can eat anything and everything.We had a good time on the cruise. It was really nice to have my pictures taken, repeatedly, and to not cringe every time. I even had my picture taken in a swimsuit!! Mom couldn't, wouldn't, do much of anything. She got off of the ship once in the Cayman Islands, walked to a few stores, but had a rough time of it. She and Lindsay shared a room, but Mom's smoking drove Lindsay nuts and Lindsay's messiness drove Mom nuts. Mom constantly criticized everyone and everything, especially what people, including us, ate. The tension was thick! However, swimming with sting rays was one of the neatest things that I have ever done in my life. Also, climbing Dunns' River Falls in Jamaica was a real achievement for me -- I could do it!!
I would still like to lose about 40# more. I've lost over 50% of my excess weight and, while I'm not unhappy with that, I would like to weigh in at about 140#. I see the clothing sizes that people wear, and I just don't get it. I wear a misses' 14/16, L or XL, yet I see people saying that they also wear these sizes when they weigh 235# + -- strange. I remember weighing 150# in high school, and squeezing into a size 11/12. I really do think that clothing manufacturer's have changed clothing size requirements to adjust to a "bigger" world.
I'm done with summer school now -- I taught two weeks -- and I have some time now. The girls and I are doing "projects," e.g. mowing the lawn, raking leaves, cleaning out closets, etc. -- things that have to be done but rarely do! Tomorrow, we tackle taking down the 50 gallon aquarium.
I'm walking 3-4 miles in the morning, swimming in the afternoon, and sometimes hitting the gym, too. I would like to be in prime shape before going back to school. I hope that this fill gives me the "boost" that I need.
