WOO HOO! I AM TWENTY POUNDS LIGHTER! Tuesday was a very exciting day. I was finally down 20 whole pounds. W00T! I also used my grocery backpack, AND I met friends for tea in a sleeveless shirt. These are things I never would have done at 250.
So to start, have I mentioned that my brothers are both on loseit.com? They are :) One of them got so excited about me being able to walk to my grocery store that he ordered a grocery backpack for me. LOL. Tuesday morning, I used it. The right-hand pics are before I left the house, so it's empty. In the one where I'm pointing to the Safeway sign, it's serving a purpose. I bought two boxes of Puffs Plus and a large container of peanuts. That's in the top "dry goods" section. In the "thermal" compartment are the doughnuts my neighbor bought to take back home :) (don't tell my brother that's what was in there)
So that was fun, and yay! I can buy groceries and packhorse them home (yeah, I verbed it).
But the real big news of the day for me was the big Two Oh! I am down 20 pounds. And since my sister said to take a pic every 10 pounds, here it is. Ironically, I think my face looks rounder in this shot than the 239.5 pic below, but whatevs.
Also? I actually went out in public in a sleeveless top (<-- this one). I honestly don't remember the last time I did that. Maybe 15 years ago? It certainly wasn't recently. It helped that it was a gazillion degrees out, I suppose.
So there you have it - a milestone post. Yay!
Of course, I have never wanted to weigh 229 so much in my life. What an odd desire :)

ReplyDeleteJust catching up on my blog reading and I have to say, yours is one I make a priority of getting to before I run out of time. You are so inspiring to me! Keep up the fantastic work!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the encouragement, friends! It's really, REALLY appreciated :)
ReplyDeleteYour hair is utterly gorgeous in this pic. People spend lots of money down the hairdresser's trying to get anything near resembling that look.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work!
