I know ... I've been bad ... just busy with traveling, company, worry, yada yada ... OK, just lazy to be honest! Sorry about that!
Today I have lost 36 pounds and have under 13 to go ... unless I change my goal which depends on how I look and feel. I am not going to be perfect .. have let myself go too many times and the skin is just never going to go back where it belongs no matter what I do ... well, not no matter what ... if I have a few thousand $$$ to spend on tummy tucks and such, that would work, but at my age? Who am I kidding? OMGosh, I totally forgot to mention a great NSV (non scale victory) ... Last week I glanced in a mirror one afternoon and there they were ... right in front of me ... MY JAW/CHIN BONES ... wooooohooooo!
Just getting all this abnormal fat off and feeling better is enough of a reward for me. I can actually button the new size 10 pants I bought when Julia and I went shopping -- breathing is a little bit of a problem though, so I won't be wearing them for awhile yet! hahaha I wore a size 10 in high school, which as near as I can figure is a size 8 in today's fashion world. I wore that for a few months 9 years ago, but not really thinking I'll worry about getting there this time. Really going for the healthy BMI which is below 125.0 ... don't want to get 'skinny' as the last time I did that half the folks I knew thought I was gonna die at any moment!
This is day 26 of the vlcd in Rd2 ... feeling good, no cheats .. over all doing well!
Julia and Jesse moved to Hawaii on Wednesday .. I'm a weenie and cried most of the day. Have to start saving for a trip over. Can't wait! For those who don't know they were 9 days late leaving WA due to Jesse breaking his foot ... surgery, four pins and a screw ... yeah, nothing simple there. There are some not for the squeamish photos in an album on my Facebook photo page if you can't resist and have a strong tummy!
