One Hundred

Jun 12, 2010

I'm officially minus 100 pounds. FINALLY. A little OVER one hundred, actually. YAY! On the bright side, I can comfortably and consistantly wear 2XL shirts from Old Navy! I was never able to wear anything from there before surgery. My size 24 skinny jeans are perhaps getting a little big on me (or maybe that's wishful thinking). My mom gave me a pair of 18/20 stretchy workout pants and THEY FIT, but they are a little tight. My husband and I went swimming for the first time since surgery a couple nights ago and my bathing suit is too big. It still fits, but it probably wouldn't hurt to start looking for a new one - too bad they are so freaking expensive. I can cross my legs easily now. I can fit into movie theater seats and booths with NO problems. I haven't tried an airplane seat yet but I don't think it would be a problem. I can't wait to fly and NOT have to ask for a seatbelt extender!

Now, on the other hand... It feels like the weight is coming off very slowly now, and that's probably my fault. I've been eating too much stuff that I should probably just avoid. I also have this nasty iced caramel macchiatto addiction. I've convinced myself the protein in it (14 g I think?) is good for me. But if I'm being honest, there are probably way too many calories in it to be worth it (every day). I could even live with the calories if I wasn't also enjoying chocolate and cake too often as well. I'm trying not to be too hard on myself though because 1) the weight is still coming off, 2) I DO NOT want to be on a diet and 3) I'm not completely out of control. I still do protein above all else. I think it is time for a reality check though. I need to start measuring, weighing, accounting for what I am putting in my face. If I want some chocolate I'll have some, I just need to work on making better choices. And drink more water!

In other news... My job has ended for the season and I am once again unemployed. Fun. So I'm busy looking for something until next season starts around January (assuming I get called back). And by busy I mean sleeping 10 hours a day and playing video games all night. I do get a job search in there every once in awhile though! I'm still dealing with the stupid tailbone pain. Since my job ended I couldn't afford to continue seeing the chiropractor, but I don't think it was doing a lot of good anyway. The pain is slightly less than it has been previously so maybe it did a little good, but I don't really know. It could just be because I am sitting on it less now (or was, when I was working).

I went back home and saw lots of aunts and uncles who hadn't seen me since December and they were all blown away by how much I'd lost. So that was nice! I'm hoping to get some new pictures taken in a day or week or so.... soon!
