Week 8 update-day 57

Feb 17, 2012

What was I thinking??? I am over 50, over weight, and under coordinated.
Me in a Zumba class trying to keep up with girls half my age and weight. It was not a pretty sight. Now my body hurts..really, really HURTS.
On a brighter note, Richard and I went to Belks to just walk around on Wednesday and found out that some items were 70% off. I found a pair of jeans size 14, YES 14, that fit me. I was doing the happy dance in the dressing room. Even though there is still so much belly fat, I was still so glad that they fit me. I also bought some much needed PJ's too.
  On Friday night we went on a date to Tom and Betty's, my favorite comfort food restaurant. Before the surgery, I would alway order the Jaguar, which is two pieces of texas toast topped with 2 huge scoops of mashed potatoes and a very generous portion of roast beef. Just typing this out is making my mouth water, it's that good. Well of course there was absolutely no way I was going to order that. So Richard and I split a country fried steak meal. That was the plan. I cut off a portion of one of the steaks and cut it into 9 smaller pieces. After 4 pieces, I was full. I did push it by eating 2 french fries, and hurt for quite a while afterwards.
After dinner back to Belks, where I found a dress that I really liked in size 14 that was marked down from 100 dollars  to 30 dollars. I tried it on and it doesn't fit yet, I couldn't get the zipper up all the way. Richard said to buy it as my goal dress, which was a nice idea. My goal is to fit in that dress when we go to my parents in SC in 4 weeks.
I still can't believe that I have lost over 40 lbs.
