Four months out

Jan 15, 2012

 Wow...December and the first part of January have been a whirlwind. I have enjoyed it all even though some of it has been exhausting.

Trying to get ready for Christmas was stressful. It snuck up on me and I had to do the last minute shopping thing which I *despise*!! Then there was all the travelling. I had my three month check up with Dr Sudan on Dec 19th and he was very happy with me overall. He did fuss a bit about my vitamins (or inconsistent taking of them) and it was deserved. I knew going into the DS that vitamins are non-negotiable. I just have a tough time getting into the habit of taking the ones in the middle of the day. Must get better about it!!

 Anyway..then right after Christmas we went down the mountain to see my family in SC which was fun. Matthew turned out to have an ear infection so we went home early to find out our house had been broken into. So the next week and a half was filled with getting a security system installed. Then we were off to Florida for a week. It was gorgeous and warm down there and I was able to walk around Legoland from 10am to 5pm and Disney's Animal Kingdom almost all day. Losing that 100 pounds really helped with walking! The arthritis in my knees was bothering me by the end of Animal Kingdom and to be honest it still hurts. However...the silver lining is that I had gone to Catherine's looking for jeans at the beginning of the week because the pants I took with me were falling off. I found a pair of size 30's that fit great...for about three days  LOL  now I can pull them off without unbuttoning them. The size 26/28 pajama bottoms that were tight two weeks ago are now comfy and are keeping me toasty as I sit to write this  ;D  I had gone to Lane Bryant and everything was too tight which is why I went to Catherine's. Brian is annoyed that I spent money on pants that I have shrunk out of. This is a problem I *never* thought I would have!!!! So while I am a little peeved about the money too I'm thrilled that I'm still shrinking.

I should be in Twoterville by the end of the month!!! I haven't seen the 200's since I was in my mid- twenties. That kinda' makes me sad that I spent so much of my adult life super morbidly obese. However it has made me the person I am today. Looking back I don't think I would have as much empathy for others who are suffering. I saw a lot of obese people on this trip and I wanted so badly to tell them about the DS but I know that is not constructive. I have been on the recieving end of those conversations and since I wasn't ready to hear it...we will just say it didn't go over well. All I could do is say a prayer for them that they are happy in their lives and if the DS is for them they will be guided to it like I was.

Oh its good to be home though. Granted its below freezing and the heat on the side of the house our bedroom is in seems to be broken. LOL  the joys of home ownership!! Still...we had a great trip, we are home safe, I lost weight even though I ate ice cream almost every night, and I had to get a new ring to wear instead of my wedding ring that was falling off. Granted its a cheapo Micky Mouse ring but I like it and its two sizes smaller than my other rings ;D . 

Ack..the heat is off in the computer room too and my feet are freezing. Maybe moving to Florida isn't such a crazy idea after all! I don't mis being fat but I do miss being warm LOL
