Had a good weekend!

Jul 06, 2010

Wow, what a hectic weekend! Seemed like I was in constant motion the past few days! It felt great tho. My mood has really improved. Not sure what was going on those couple of weeks, but I am very happy it passed! I have been getting compliments on my weight loss and I have even calmed down on the weighing myself daily thing.. It's every other day or so. Right now, I am in a stall, but I am ok with it. I am down to 276, give or take a pound. (one more pound down and I get to add a new charm to my bracelet!) I have found some new and interesting recipes via a Yahoo! group I am a member of, so I am liking that! I don't feel like I am missing out on food at all! If anything, I am eating things I really REALLY like...
On Saturday, hubby and I had some people over to watch the UFC 116 Pay-Per-view fights... we had a great time! We ordered pizza and wings, had chips and all that... since I knew we were going to be surrounded by foods I try to avoid, I hunting for something I can make... and found it!!! Cauliflower pizza dough.... so freaking easy to make!!! I made one that was half ground beef topped and half cheese... hubby tried it and ate half all by himself... he said it was better than the pizza we ordered! And for dessert... peaches dipped in cannoli filling... HOLY HELL!! Soooo good. I was ok'd to eat salad and on Sunday we went to a friend's house for a cookout... I made a HUGE salad... ate a bunless burger, half a hotdog and some fruit salad (minus the pineapple). It felt great to be able to sit there, eat something, and not feel self-conscience about it. Normally, I would always be looking around when I ate in front of people because I was worried they were watching the big fat chick gorge herself. It's one of the reasons I would never order ribs when we went out to eat. But since I have been losing weight, I haven't cared! It's amazing the transformation I have undergone!!! And yesterday, I spent 3 and a half hours out in the garden! It felt good to be out there, doing that, and not being in utter pain from bending over so much!!! Later in the day, I even went SWIMMING!!!! I haven't been swimming in over 3 years. I was always so uncomfy doing it in front of people and since I never had my own pool, I refused to swim at someone elses. Oh, and it was hot as HELL yesterday.. but guess what? I was ok with it! Normally, this time of year, I am in agony... I felt fine!
I thank God every day that I have been able to have this surgery. I am so much happier now that I can enjoy my life with the people I love.
Ok, I've babbled enuf... off I go...
You're loser of a friend...

P.S. Oh, and by the way... I wore a size 2x shirt this weekend... in public!!! I haven't worn 2x since before my children were born. I actually went out and bought two 2x shirts. Since that's the size my hubby wears, I already threatened to steal some of his band shirts too... hehe..
