Yup, I'm another year older... 47 now but I have to say I'm probably in the best shape I've (maybe) ever been.
I'm loving who I'm becoming and the fact that most of the time I work hard to be that person. Between going to school, working, eating well and exercising, life is hectic but good.
I weigh 173 today. 9 more lbs to go to get to surgery goal weight. Then it will be 20 more lbs from there. I can finally picture this actually happening... the whole thing of getting the surgery, having a flatter tummy, feeling more confident in myself and getting to my goal weight. I love that I can picture all that now. It's a great feeling!
The eating thing is still and will always be a challenge. I fucking LOVE bread! I don't know what it is about it. It's comfort, it's filling, it makes me happy but not for long. I stopped eating bread 2 days ago again and the scale already shows the difference. It's crazy. So I'm not eating bread or the pretzels I love at work. I have to stop both or I won't have success with losing weight. It's a fact. Each day is a challenge but it will always be like that. Taking it one day at a time will always have to be how I do things and that's ok because each day is different.
Tonight will be interesting. We are going to see Louis CK at Albany Funny Bone. The tickets went on sale this morning and sold out in an hour. He's had a lot of things happen to him this past year with being accused of sexual harassment and his act. He's going to be trying new material and no cell phones are allowed. So yeah, I'm pretty excited about it.
The next time I write I will have lost more weight. That's a promise!
