Yes, it is true - for all of us, I believe, that boredom is our enemy. I find, more so lately, that I wander to the fridge whenever I am bored. I have been keeping myself out of there, for the most part, but boredom plays such a big role for those of us that struggle with our weight on a daily basis. I never realized until I had gastric bypass surgery just how much I snacked before. I use eating as my sole comfort - whether I am upset, angry, bored or a multitude of emotions in between. So, I took off two days from work last week and I kept myself BUSY. On Thursday, I woke up early (which I hadn't planned, but I couldn't sleep) and I did laundry and some errands and then Brittany and I went to Judy's for lunch. I had half of one of their burrito's....quite yummy!! Then, in the afternoon we spent about an hour and a half at DMV, where she passed her driving test with flying colors (no errors!!) and she is now officially a licensed teen driver. Friday, I met up my girls, Carla & Traci and went to lunch and then Britt and I went shopping for some school clothes. Again, no problems with food because I was busy, busy, busy. Saturday, I was lazy at home allllllll ddddaaaaayyyyyy loooooonnnnngggg and I munched. Crackers and cherries....both to be eaten in moderation. However, I way overdid it. So, I was surprised this morning to see that I hadn't gained the pound I'd lost a few days ago back. So, got up early again this morning and walked for an hour then came home, did more chores (those bastards never go away, do they??!!!) and then laid in the pool for about two hours, turning like a chicken on a rotisserie! lol...I'm nice and pink now, I'd say about medium rare...lol
I did buy a few pair of shorts because my legs have really gotten pretty skinny and it looks like I have a couple of sticks in my other shorts. Those are all going to charity. Now, hopefully, the last 25 lbs. will come off my belly, which is still my sore spot!! Although it's obviously gone down considerably, it still sticks out and I can't wear the shirts I want to wear...plus, my boobies are looking pretty sad these days...lol....where did wrinkles on my cheche's come from? ha ha ha
Well, that's it for now...oh! I'm down 77 lbs. so far - 24 to get to goal! Woot woot!! My size 8's are very comfortable now and not tight...yee haw!! I'm hoping to be about a size 4 by the time I'm done, but we'll see...I keep thinking the weight loss is slowing down but it's been 12 or so pounds since my last doctor's appointment on the 25th of June, so I think I'm still right on schedule....about 2 lbs. a week, which is perfect!
Til next time!!
