Well I'm finally feeling just a little bit better. I got some very desperately needed sleep last night thank God. I am looking forward to getting more into the swing of things next week. (And praying back on the treadmill!)
Well I have lost 4.6 lbs so far and little over halfway to my goal and its ONLY DAY 4!!! Again, I'm almost expecting to see me gain a little because once I'm feeling better I'll actually go back to eating again. I hardly ate anything at all while I was super sick. But for now I'm going to bask in this weight loss. Usually this is what I lose in a whole month. Here I've done it in just days. Since I started my weight loss journey I am down 23 lbs now!! Best of all I'm starting to notice a huge difference in the way I look and fit into my clothes. My recently bought, down-sized dress pants are once again getting big already. Good thing I'm about to work from home soon...I can't afford to keep re-buying my work clothes! Most of shirts just hang on me now...or I don't even touch them because, well, they're all maternity clothes! ::blush:: I'm really starting to like how I look in the mirror again instead of being horrified and embarrassed!! I can't wait for summer now.
I've also read that for every 1 pound of weight you lose, that's 4 pounds of knee-joint pressure taken off. So that means I've taken 92 lbs of pressure off my knees!! That's huge! My knees aren't terrible but they aren't doing good, either. So I need to start taking care of them!
My mom just had bariatric surgery on Tuesday, so I'm supporting her as she is recovering from that. I hope I can serve as an inspiration to her. She has battled weight ever since she had us kids. Only once have I ever seen her drop a ton of weight...only for her to gain it all back. I hope and pray this gives her the help she needs.
I was a butt last night...I know I said I wasn't going to try on my wedding set but I did. Try to. I knew they weren't going to fit yet and I was right. But I don't want to get discouraged because I am on the right track! Just gotta keep going!!
