Happy 6 months to me!

Apr 07, 2011

 ..and what a long way we've come baby!

Let's see...  Currently I am about 205 pounds and wearing a size 12 jeans and mostly L shirts, some mediums if I want fitted.
My tummy can pretty much handle anything now...FINALLY except I still have to be careful about chicken and eggs.
I havent puked in at least 3 months thankfully. LOL

I've been running, I did a 5k in February and ran/walked it.  Since then I've ran 2 miles without having to walk at all...amazing.
The most amazing thing is my fearlessness though!  I bought skates and I'm training with the local roller derby team. I WILL bea  derby girl!  I am very average size in the crowd too...it's VERY odd.  The coach seemed concerned that I could still be losing and might be "too small" at some point. LMAO It's like I'm in an alternate universe!!!  I am in LOVE with the derby even though I've never hurt so bad in my life! There is no workout that compares to skating and learning to fall....aka throwing yourself at the ground for 2 hours. It's FUN. It makes me feel empowered and tough like nothing can stop me.

I lost my job a month ago but I'm ok and I KNOW I will find another SOON. I got an apartment for my kids and I!!!  I get my keys in 1 week from today!!!  This is a BIG HUGE deal as it's the first time since my separation a few years ago that I'll be on my own (with my kids of course). I will actually miss living with my mother in a lot of ways but also there are things that will be MUCH better not living here AND I know it's good for me.  We are moving bout 12 miles away to another city technically and I will be driving my kids to their old school for the last 2 months of the school year....boy do I hope my vehicle can handle it!

I am SO SO SO busy ALL the time it's hard to imagine when I can fit in working a full time job....but I know I'll figure it out.
I usually feel good these days, tired with pretty low iron but still good overall.

I want to blog so badly so I dont know why I dont keep it up! I guess it's just one of those things that gets lost in the shuffle sometimes.

Side by side of sorts

I dont think this is a very good comparison pic me wearing the DARK before you cant tell how much bigger I was but I promise it is a big difference.

I posted pics in an album on here maybe those show it better!

:) YAY It's so great to be able to be seated ANYWHERE and never have to worry about not fitting. It's WEIRD to go clothes shopping with friends and not be able to try on anything because those store only go down to a size 16....which is WAY too big.... sooo weird.... I am NOT used to it but I AM hapy about it.
