A week of Lasts.

May 09, 2011

On Wednesday I'll start my 2 weeks of Optifast so I've kind of been keeping track of my 'lasts."   My last dinner out for a while, my last Caramel Frappucino...But the best one was this afternoon on my way back from picking up my little guy from school.  That was the last walk to & from school I'll ever take with this body at this weight.  Today my back hurt and although it was a beautiful day, it was too hot for me and I began to sweat about 1/2 way there.  I was irritable and uncomfortable and suddenly it hit me - the next opportunity I'll have to do this walk won't be until after surgery.  My schedule is going to be busy the next couple of weeks and the kids are going to daycare so I can put in some extra days at work before I'm off for my surgery; so the drop off/pick up will be at daycare, not school.  It was one of those 'a-ha' moments I always hear about.  The next time I do this walk, I will literally be walking a new path.  So this last walk became my weight loss metaphor.  I suddenly couldn't wait for it to be over and I actually started moving faster; I'm so ready to leave this all behind me.  Looking forward now to 'firsts' instead of 'lasts.'
