two month update

May 05, 2010

I promised myself that I'd do a blog update once a month, so here I am!

I'm feeling great. I've lost about 60 pounds now and I'm more than 1/3 of the way to goal. I'm on a full diet now, although I still have trouble with quite a few foods. I need to try more things, especially healthy protein sources. Its just easier to stick with the things that I know "work", but I know I'd feel more satisfied if I was eating more dense foods.

At this time next month, I will be relaxing in a villa in Tuscany! I can't believe it! We've been planning this trip for so long. I can't wait to go and I know I'm going to be feeling so confident in my ever-slimming body. I weigh a bit less than I did when I went to Thailand about 6 years ago. That was the first trip where the seatbelt situation was a little shaky. I never did use a seatbelt extension, but I nearly cut off circulation to my lower body on a few of those flights, especially on the Asian airlines. I'm really motivated to kick it into high gear and lose as much as I can this month. I want to slide into those seats with ease, buckle my seatbelt with room to spare, and be able to put the tray all the way down! I can't wait for that feeling... it will be pure victory!

I'm getting excited for a milestone coming up. 40 more pounds until I weigh what I did at my wedding! I weighed 214 on my wedding day. I'm 5'8" and carry my weight pretty well. At 214 I was wearing a 16/18 and was still feeling pretty decent. I was three months pregnant at the time. After I delivered my son, I weighed about 260 (just a bit more than now) and that's when I really started to feel like a "fat person". 214 seems like a magical number to me, like I'll no longer be a "fat person". I'll still have about 75 pounds to lose at that point (exactly half the total weight I needed to lose) but I'm still really looking forward to it.


I dont' know if I'll blog right before or after our Italy trip, but anyway, see you in about a month!
