Normal

Well, things are finally feeling normal again. I worked part time last week and it was nice doing something regular and normal. I had my second shot last Wednesday and they seem to really help. There are actually little bits of time I don't think about pain. I sometimes get overly agressive trying to do normal things on my leg or bending and I get a strong reminder I'm not 100%. So I still have to try to be careful. My final shot is this Wednesday, and I am hoping it will relieve even more.

I go back to work full-time tomorrow. A bit nervous about it as sitting in the office chair still hurts. But I am going to persevere.

While I was down, I didn't give much thought to my diet. I only had pain on my mind. I was sad I couldn't go to WW on Sunday's but it just wasn't feasible. I went last week for the first time on my own. The week before that (Mother's Day) Chance drove me just to weigh. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I had lost 6 pounds when he took me. Last week I lost another 2.2. That is a total of 18.2 pounds all together! It made me happy.

Last week after returning to work and a crazy schedule, I ate out alot. That meant way more fast food than I had had in a long time. Well I knew this week would be a gainer. I thought 2 pounds at least but it was only 0.6 pounds. I was proud that even though I had awful food, I still tried to make it not so bad. I guess it worked. 0.6 is way better than 2!

I could tell that I had lost some...all my shorts and capris I bought last summer (because everything was getting old and tight), now fall off me. I don't even have to unzip them. Most of my slacks are getting loose too. So today I thought, why not measure myself since I hadn't in many weeks and I had such a good loss going on. I got happy again.

I lost another 2 inches in my waist for 4.5 inches total. I lost 1 inch in my hips - 3 inches total. I lost 3/4 inch in my thigh for a total of 2 inches. My arms remain the same at a one inch loss. That was really nice to see!!! I'm feeling a surge of progress and I think it will make it easier for me as I go back to work and lunch with the girls.

I didn't get to swim as much as I hoped today. Oh well, I will get to next weekend. I can't "submerge" in water after the shot. I hope I didn't do anything bad by getting in a bit today...

Well, I don't really have much to say today. Just wanted to post my inches lost. Later...
