Here Comes the Birthday...
Mar 04, 2012
Tommorrow I officially turn 43! I really haven't "enjoyed" a birthday since I turned 40, mostly due to being so overweight, I just felt older than what I was. However, this year I feel differently. I feel like this is going to be the best year ever! I feel better, I definitely LOOK better, and before my next birthday I'll have reached a huge goal in my life and that's finishing school and becoming a nurse, and will hopefully be at my weight loss goal! Lots of big changes in store for this year and I'm excited!I was looking at some "before" pics earlier, and comparing them to my pics now. All I can say is "ew!" I'm not at my goal yet, but I'm getting there, and I'm certainly not where I was 4 months ago! And I feel so much better! That's the main thing!
I am losing a bit of hair, not enough to notice it on my head, but I get a lot on my clothes and in the brush, and it comes out on my fingers when I'm washing my hair. Annoying, but it was to be expected. I just carry a sticky roller with me everywhere I go. Hopefully it will end soon. All I can do is keep taking my vitamins and eat the right foods. The rest will take care of itself hopefully.
People are noticing my weight loss more and more, and that makes me feel great. (Even my 87 year old aunt who is nearly blind noticed it yesterday! My blurry image must not be as large to her! lol) My trainer at the gym told me to ditch my winter coat in favor of a smaller one because it "hides" me. So I dug out one I hadn't worn in ages and put the other one in the "give away" bag.
I feel good about life again. That to me means more than anything! To get up in the morning and just feel like it's going to be a good day, is awesome! Haven't felt like that ever I don't think! This really is going to be the best year!
