Oops!

Oct 26, 2010

So, it looks like I sort of fell off the face of the earth lately.  I guess I've been a little busy. 

I have updates!

Most here are interested in the weight first, so I'll tell you that I've lost 92 pounds to date.  I cannot wait to be able to say I've lost a solid 100.  Currently, I only get on a scale about once a month, but I think I'll do it weekly now until I've lost that last eight.  I'd like to document the day I've done it. 

As you might expect, it feels wonderful.  My ankles don't hurt.  My knees don't hurt.  My back will probably always hurt.  That's just the way I'm built. 

I find myself feeling myself up all the time.  I know that sounds weird, but it's true.  I often have my hands on my waist or on my tummy.  It's so intriguing to find my bones.  Some of them I can actually grab hold of.  Getting dressed is something of an adventure every morning.  I've had clothes that I thought fit, but now that they hang correctly, I know how they were meant to look. 

Oh!  There were tornado warnings today.  I work in a college and our public announcement system went down.  We, very quickly, had to run to the classrooms and tell the students to move to internal hallways and classrooms.  I was able to run up the stairs (the elevator would have been too slow) in HEELS no less.  Was I out of breath by the time I got around to several classrooms?  Yes.  Was I about to die of an asthma attack?  Not even close.  I was fine. 

My other update is that I have completed my masters degree as of four days ago!  It's a huge relief.  I'm done.  Well, I'm done for now.  I'm currently applying to some Ph.D. programs.  But, even if I get into one, I'm on academic vacation until next fall.  It feels soooooo good.

That's about it for the updates.  There's no relationship to speak of.  I like it that way.  I'm always a little confused by the folks who lose a bunch of weight and immediately hop into a relationship.  Wouldn't you rather be thin... and SINGLE?!  Call me kookie, but I'd like to spend substantial time being seen in my lovely evening gown before letting some prince take me home from the ball.

I've lost touch with some folks on here and I hope to fix that soon.  I hope you're all doing amazingly well.  Best wishes!
