Nine Months Out

Nov 08, 2010

Finding I get on here less and less!

Okay, I'm a little over nine months out.  I started out this journey at about 245 pounds.  Today I weigh 126 pounds and my size 8 jeans are too big around the waist.

I am still much more careful about what I eat, although I do catch myself nibbling at naughty foods like cookies or brownies if they are in the house.  Not a dozen cookies like I could have done in the past, but now I might have a bad day and eat 2 or 3 cookies in one day and that is just not a good thing to do.  Therefore we do not keep these foods in the house much anymore!  I did buy some Omega 3/Flax cookies with cranberries in them.  I think one cookie has 6 grams of sugar.  I have them handy for sugar cravings. 

I know this is a healthy weight for me and I do not want to gain anything back, but I also don't want to lose much (any) more.

Going to Cancun with Jim in December... looking forward to wearing a bathing suit on the beach!  It's been years!  And a sun dress!  And a cocktail dress!  :)  Kind of funny to think of spending a week at an all-inclusive resort; they're really getting their money out of me since I can't eat/drink like 'normal' people!  lol  Should be a good time, though.  Really looking forward to it.

Was nice to chase down some horses in the pasture with Brenda on Saturday and not be out of breath.  Also a little easier to maneuver up/down/over hills and holes and what have you, when there are 119 less pounds to carry!

I am more fun to be around, I have more fun being around people, I am more active, I am less moody, I am more confident and more productive.  I am happy.
