20 kg that is over 44lbs :)

I know it is only 8am, but have already had a neat experience this morning, but must start by telling you a bit about yesterday. (Sometime I am long winded. . .lol) I got off work, walked down to catch a tram, walked to the train, once off the train, I walked to the gym. Got my gear on- realizing that a tank top I got while in Washington last year, was a bit bigger than it used to be on me. Got on the treadmill, and kept thinking about the weight I have lost, and the weight I have yet to lose. Same thing as I continued my workout. Then I met GM outside the gym, he had been taking Ralph on a walk, before they picked me up. When I got in the car, started talking about my thoughts, and decided I wanted to lift the amount of weight I have lost. You know, like on some of the 'reality' weight loss shows. So, GM being the man he is, racked his brain, and this morning when he went to start the car, he got the dog food out of the trunk. The dog food weighed just over 14 kg that is over 30 lbs ( I have lost 20kg that is over 44 lbs). He came in, and put it in my arms. OMG I could not believe I had been carrying around that much weight for who knows how long, it felt great to hand it back to him, but it still brought a tear to my eye. I love that I do not have that weight to carry around anymore! (long winded, but I liked it)
Clothes that fit snugly across my belly, now have plenty of room to move, and my football player shoulders do not seem as wide. Needing a belt, rather than just wearing a belt. It is all good! My watch flops around my wrist, and we are looking at getting a couple links out of my Australian Sunshine ID bracelet. I feel proud of myself today.
I go to see the podiatrist as a follow up on my feet tonight, then it is off to dinner @GM's M&D's house. That will be lovely I am sure, they are lovely people. I lucked out in the in-law department. Tomorrow I go to see a Nurse re: my weight loss, so hopefully that will be a good thing. I hope I have lost some since I went last. It is a slow process, but I am confident with it all. Oh, and still good news on the PCOS front- all clear for almost a week- Yyyiiipppeee!
Gotta run ~Melissa

Pride

So, it does not matter how old you get, it is always good to be humbled. . .

Especially after our conversation about pride Lori.

I went to the podiatrist today. I have to get orthotics, because I have hurt my feet so much, that they are swollen and painful all the time. So, in a week, I will have inserts for my shoes, and hopefully my feet will not hurt so much anymore. So, pride in not needing anything like that, and thinking I am fine. . . HA

I am also going to the dentist this afternoon, that will be fun I am sure. . .

Here is a pic taken last night, I know it is way overdue.




Oh wait, that is Ralph, not me. . .lol

These are a bit cheesy, but were doing progress pics, I was in shorts and a tank top, and I was freezing! (It is winter here- I think it was about 50*F)




Okay, I have to take something for my headache which may include a nap- YEAH!

Catch you later
