Cleaning out the closet...

Jun 10, 2009

this past weekend....and I found a few things that made me reflect on the weight that I have lost and how much my life has improved.  I found 4-6 empty bottles of ibuprofen...I used to take about 800mg every morning when I got up ....to stop the aching in my knees, back and ankles.  I haven't taken 1 ibuprofen since my surgery.  I found 2 containers of powder that I used to use every day to feel fresh--I rarely use powder now.  I found 2 pairs of sandals that I couldn't get my chubby feet in---now they are too big!! 

My daughter tells me everyday to stop wearing such big clothes...but to me...they don't feel BIG...just comfy.  I have tons of clothes in my closet...but I always think..."not yet...a few more pounds..and I can wear that"...then when I pull it out...it's TOO big.  I don't see the weight loss...I feel it...but I don't see it in the mirror.  I do see-- that I now have a jaw line...my double chin is almost gone...no visible collar bones yet!  The "girls"....have deflated...thank GOD for push up/pull up bras.  It seems that what little arse that I did have is now G-O-N-E....I hear they have padded undies at JC Penney

I'm working out on the treadmill/elliptical and 2 days of strength training.  I never thought in a million years that I would say that I like going to the Y.  I LIKE GOING TO THE Y.     BUT- let me say the elliptical is a killer!!  WOW...I started on it last week....I have muscles burning in my legs and shoulders....that I never new existed.  Hopefully- it will tighten some not so tight things up!

Be blessed.....
