Three months out

Jun 24, 2009

I know it hasn't been that long since the last post, but I'm 13 weeks out as of today, and 3 months out as of tomorrow.  I got more clothes from Teddi, bless her heart!  Maybe it's wearing a new blouse to work that doesn't have to cover my fat ass, maybe it's the fact that my hair is shorter than its been in years and I love it,  maybe it's because I got on the scale and I weigh 195....haven't weighed that since I was 25....so 31 YEARS.  
I'm sitting at my desk with my legs crossed.  That hasn't happened in so long, I can't remember.  For the first time in who knows how long, I don't feel like the sweaty, red-faced ankle crossed, shirt pulling down fattest girl in the room. 
Oh, I still have a long way to go.  My belly and butt are still big, though I know they are much smaller than before.  Maybe when the panni goes down farther....but I think I'll still have that with skin no matter how much weight I lose.
I walk the dog twice a day, briskly.  It's no marathon or 5 mile treadmill thing, but when I did NOTHING before, it's a big thing.
Also doing the water aerobics 3x per week and I love that.  Anything in the water makes me happy.  My sister will be coming by to see me in the next week or two, and I'll be able to take walks with her, without wanting to die.  Horace teased me this weekend, because for the first time, I was having to slow down to wait for him, not him wait for me.
The food thing is getting easier, because I'm not going to stress about it.  I am struggling with getting more iron in.  The iron supplement makes me flu-like, so I've been avoiding it.  I need to keep my nutrients and vitamins up.
I'm happy.
