Okay, so the past few days have been crazy.
I weighed myself this morning to discover, I'm not as far off as I thought. My next appointment is on Tuesday, and I'm confident I can lose enough to get me closer to the 160's as possible. It's been A LOT of work, but I'm ready.
My friend Andrea is pregnant at work, and was having trouble finding maternity scrubs. Can you believe that only one brand makes maternity scrub bottoms?! I mean come on people! How hard is it to sew on an elastic waist band on pajama pants? Either way, I had tons of clothes to go through and get rid of. I haven't been a big fan of scrub tops, they always make me feel like I'm frumpy. I usually just wear a work out tee shirt with scrub bottoms. In fact, I really need to buy some new ones. My scrub pants have been looking like parachutes on me, and now I can fit both my legs into one side of my pants! The tops I had, have elastic on the sides of them. They would totally be able to stretch out and grow with her pregnancy. I have to admit, I was worried! The last thing I wanted to do, was to give her tops that didn't fit! Thank God they did! It was a really great feeling to know that at least the tops are being used, and that I could give away things that don't fit me anymore.
My friends from work have been commenting on my weight loss on almost a weekly basis now. Granted they only see me every other week, but still I can't help but think I'm imagining things. It's a great boost of confidence when people see the changes, and actually tell you! I'm not trying to fish for compliments, but it's been really nice for a change to feel good about myself. I think I'm finally getting to the point in my life, where I'm ready to move on and start living. My life has been stale and stagnant for a while, I need a new adventure. To have something to look forward to. It's been a long time coming, and although my life is not short of troubles and turmoil--I'm trying to make the best out of it. That's all we can do right?
