Week 12

Down 46 pounds and getting very close to the big 5-0.

It's hard to believe I gained that much weight in just 2 year's time.  WOW.  Yes... 50 pounds in 2 years.  On one hand, it's easy to see how it happened...  We didn't exactly deny ourselves and/or practice moderation in any way.  On the other... it seems like quite a lot.  Ah well... it's going away.

This week, I treated myself to a couple pair of pants.  I'm not going hog wild with the shopping, just yet, but I saw them, liked them, and made them mine.  I thought, at first, I may have to hold on to them for a bit before they'd fit me, but, when I tried them on... well... they're perfect.  It'll be nice to have some work pants that I'm not constantly tugging up.

After we got our furnace situation under control yesterday, we went to the gym.  Michael got himself a membership, and he, Tony, and I went to work out.  I did some ab exercises that I'm pretty sure I will feel later on today.  I already kind of do.

One thing I've noticed with my workouts is that it seems like my right side always does more than my left.  I get these silly images of me being all bulked up and buff on one side and all scrawny on the other side.  I have to figure out how to compensate for that and make my non-dominant side work as hard.

Tonight, there's a support group meeting that I'm looking forward to.  We're supposed to learn about meditation and some chair yoga stuff.  Everyone knows I love me some yoga!!

This week, I made some stif fry (minus the rice) with some shrimp and some very tiny pieces of beef that were about the consistency of hamburger.  OMG it was soooo good, and it didn't bother my stomach at all.  I think, when I had the hamburger before, it was the cheese that bothered me.  I still can't wait until May when I can eat some steak, though.
