Halfway and Other Ruminations

  • I'm so excited. This morning my weigh-in was 170 pounds. So, I've lost 25 pounds and have 25 to go! Yeah!

    We had company visiting for five days and our laptop screen died, so I didn't log anything about five days. Then, I went back and reconstructed those days. I was surprised how LOW some of the days were. I've gotten to eating so good, it's habit now! Lovely! (I suppose you could also blame my memory!) I had to go back to my early days of logging calories to see what I ate that got me so high! (I haven't gone over my target calories since the ninth day.) Unfortunately, I may have to adjust my target. My baby is starting to eat more and nurse less so my little weight-loss advantage may be going away or, at least, lessening.

    And, although I now weigh less than I did at my wedding, my wedding dress doesn't fit! I even put on the same slenderizer garment I wore under it at my wedding. It gets stuck about midway up my back. I'm going to blame the kids for reshaping my body! I wanted to show my toddler daughter my "princess" dress. I guess I'll have to wait a few more pounds!
