Hello, everyone... I am going to do my best to post every single day from now on, because things are getting exciting- but in case I can't (like yesterday) I will update as soon as possible. So... two days ago, when I weighed myself it was between 328 and 329, which I interpreted as 328.5. Yesterday when I weighed myself it gave me the exact same number five times in a row, of 327.8. So a little less than a pound in one day- awesome! Today I weighed myself and I got the same exact number five times in a row, of 325.4. Holy crap! That's almost 2 and a half pounds in a day. Obviously, the scale is my new best friend- and who would have thought I'd ever say THAT?
A couple of other interesting things to report as well... Yesterday I went grocery shopping, and I was about halfway through the store when I realized that I was shopping very differently than I usually do. For as long as I can remember, whenever I made a grocery list (and i ALWAYS had a list) the primary concerns would be general things for the house/kids, but mostly things that *I* wanted/needed. I made the list to make sure I didn't forget anything. Yesterday, for the first time in a looooooooong time, I had no list. And what I realized halfway through was that I was buying thing that I thought the kids would like, or my husband would like, or things we were out of.... but I wasn't buying anything for myself! I was just thinking I'd eat whatever, it didn't matter to me what it was.... WOW! Thats definitely a change!
I also noticed today that for the first time in literally years, my feet and ankles actually look totally normal. I have pretty bad swelling on a regular basis, and even on a "good" day my feet haven't looked totally normal. But today, normal they are! I am envisioning some of my super cute heels and wedges and other shoes that have been left to rot in the depths of my closet, thinking... wow, I can actually think about wearing these soon!
I am really picturing myself at my ideal weight a lot now- its almost like I can almost feel it sometimes, like i KNOW its coming. Thats a pretty awesome feeling, I must say!
