11 months, down 140 pounds

Jun 12, 2011

Another great month. No problems whatsoever. I've been swimming a mile to a mile and a half 6 days/week. That feels great and exhausting. It takes me an 50 minutes to an hour and twenty minutes. I can feel my shoulders getting stronger.

I no longer hate looking at myself in the mirror. A year ago, the only time I didn't mind seeing an image of myself was at dawn or dusk when my shadow was elongated to impossibly thin proportions. I no longer cringe at my shadow beside other people's.
I also walk about 20,000 steps day, all monitored by my fitbit.

I love to wear dresses - size large or size 12. 
I fit in the world better. I'm not embarrassed to be seen or out.
I flew last month, with no need to apologize to the person next to me.

One strange aspect is I moved back to where I used to live and nobody recognizes me.
It's a bit embarrassing and strange.

I could eat anything, but I don't. I haven't had a soda, or fast food. I avoid overly processed food.
I don't allow any "bad" food in my house. I don't want to slip back into old bad habits. I love my protein
shakes, drink several a day.

I'm happy. Have lots of summer adventures planned.
How is everyone else doing?
