I went swimming today and it felt great!! I was able to tread water in the deep end!
I ate less for lunch today and bought some new, fresh vegetables from The Farmer's Market in my town, ramps. Has anyone ever heard of ramps? They are a small onion with big green leaves. I am trying them tonight with my chicken!!
I haven't been smiling this much in a LONG time! Positivity breeds success, right?
I lost eight friggin' lbs last week! Wha? I didn't know that was possible after about the first week (water weight and what not)! I had to weight myself three times and borrow my future MILS scale to compare...I didn't believe it at first, but...I'LL TAKE IT!
I've been able to wear HEELS at work again! After years of needing to wear comfortable bland shoes so I can stand up all day, I am able to wear flirty, fun shoes again! I feel amazing (and tall!)
The ramps tasted very good, by the way! I highly recommend them and I have a simple pesto recipe for them too, which I would be happy to pass along.
I am finally sleeping better at night, big Yay! I was nervous that I would have charley-horses in my calves last night because I had cramps in the pool yesterday. I must have done enough walking and hydrating myself with water and that's why I didn't get them. I am building my muscles back, YES! Now, I want to focus on my upper arm muscles and abs.
Silly thing, I haven't wanted to start a thread for it--but went to a concert last week and wasn't squished in the theater seat! I have hated going there for that reason, feeling so big and like I am crowding over into the next person. Big music festival there this summer, and I will really fit in the seat by then!
Today I put on a pair of capri's that I bought the last time I weighed what I do now--and they fit! And not only that but it's not tight! I bought a dress last month, it's my new motivation to keep working so I can fit into it by August
I am feeling pretty today; Since it is warm outside I dug up all my shorts and they FIT!!... I am wearing a pair of white short shorts with fuchsia silk shirt and white platform heels, with appropriate accessories About to go and get my nails done...could I feel any more beautiful...aaah?
ETA: I have felt so ugly and frumpy for the longest time
