Hey, CarmelCandy smacked me around and got me to realize being back on the wagon is where a girl outta be :) Thanks, Girl!I am doing that thing. God put me in a job where until the end of the year I will be getting off work at 11pm. This means when I am off work no one is around and I can't do anything except maybe go home and watch TV or be sad and eat. OR I could just go to the first level and hit the gym for a few hours, have the whole place to myself, listen to the radio and work out at my own pace.
And enjoy a better body that doesn't get tired as much, needs new clothes and turns more heads.
Hmm. Decisions, decisions. :D
I bought new tennis shoes. I think I had my old ones since Jr high. If not, it wasn't long after that. Anyway, the old ones were size 8.5. These new ones are size 7.5. I think that may be the last thing from my old wardrobe that I was wearing before the weight loss. I still have them. Can't bring myself to throw them out yet.
Working out is fun. If I don't do it I kinda get testy and antsy and have all this energy waiting to jump out of me with no outlet. I am doing it for the sake of humanity. It is a mercy effort.
I still hate that I am all jiggly in places. I have what I call pregnancy thighs. The fronts of my legs look like they are both pregnant and no lie, they are maybe what is keeping me in a size 18 when I am sure my waist could accomodate something smaller. Well, there is an extra line in my legs now. I am excited. The pregnancy issue no longer goes all the way down to my knees, but there's about 4 inches above it where it is smaller.
I also started seeing stretch marks on my lower arms. Now, I know they aren't pretty, but I am dang excited. I have lost enough to see stretch marks! WOOHOO!
I am most looking forward to getting my clavical bumps back. I know I had them before, and I know I weighed as little as 202 so they are 20 lbs within reach.
I am working on this because I want to get my panulectimy done as well as my breast reduction. I don't want to do that and then lose 80 more lbs, so I am doing that first. I have wanted it for about 4 years now and I am finally getting around to doing it.
Bonus. I am quite happy.
You know, I know I probably hit the gym pretty hard. About an hour weight lifting in various forms, then 3 rounds of 40 minutes on the tread mill. If I go 2 hours straight, I get sore and don't lose as much. Go figure. But, when I am walking on the tread mill I can imagine myself that I am already at my goal weight and there isn't anything I am trying to do but keep the ball rolling. It makes me happy. :)
I am not one that thinks she will be happier when she is smaller. I am happy already, only by the grace of God. I will be able to wear clothes I want to when I am smaller and jump up and down easier. Really, I am happy that I can still walk and feel the sun on my face. There are some that can't. :(
But, I can. :)
