tales of the non scale victory

[CALQL84HEALTH]

I just have to share with you some things that have happened as of late.

Yesterday I took a group of students to on a field trip to a university. In years past when walking from building to building I was lucky to keep up. NOT this year, the kids we begging me to slow down and accused me of jogging. Then when we went into the auditorium for the speech part I have to admit sitting in those little seats with the flip down desk scared me. I made a comment to a fellow teacher that I don't fit in those seats, she told me to shut up and sit down. Long story short I sat and get this I could put the desk down and have room to move around. I was almost screaming with joy but kept it together because it is so easy to embarrass middle school kids. We had a great time and I was able to keep up with the whole group all day. What a refreshing feeling. For the record I was jogging at one point, just because I can. Later I took the team to an all you can eat buffet and had fajita chicken which was awesome. Overall it was a great day.

Now scale victory
My weigh in isn't until next week but I peaked and I am at 228 which is 102 lbs dissolved. Go me

Happy days are here again

I cried when I fit in a booth at a Restaurant, I always asked for a table, well them days are gone forever

 

[Karenina]

Good for you. It's so great to be able to be active and keep up with the crowd. Being overweight is almost a self-fulfilling prophesy--the more you weigh, the less you can move so that exercise becomes almost impossible.

I went to the Dr the other day with my husband,(his appointment), but I usually switch chairs with him, one has arms on it and the other doesn't, I didn't even think about it and sat down, a few minutes later my husband made a remark about me fitting comfortable in the arm chair, it felt good, and I was happy he said something, I didn't even think about it, it's the small things that make us happy

That's right...It's the little things that matter and it's the baby steps, we take that's going to help us reach our goals. LOSING ONE POUND AT A TIME.
I'm proud of you... keep up the good work.

I just got back from my vacation. It was wonderful not having to get a seatbelt extender. I was always so embarrassed to get one.

We are in the process of moving. Cleaned out my closets; almost bare compared to stuffed full. In the process of cleaning out dresser. Down to 2XL shirts from 4XL. Used to baggy, so getting used to more form fitting t shirts.

I ended up not eating a lot because I made myself sick with the stupid sodas. I was craving caffeine because I only slept 10 hrs in 6 nights. Dumping was not my friend. Where are you going in August?

I started cleaning out my closet this morning with my shirts, already got rid of the pants, but then my husband ask why we didn't buy the baker's rack we saw at the outlets yesterday, I didn't know it was an option or I would have said let's buy it, so now we are driving 2 hours back to the outlets to get it, plus I picked up a pair of 16 shorts instead of a 10 yesterday so I have to take them back and exchange them, shopping much more fun than cleaning out the closet

We are going to Florida and then the Bahamas, looking forward to it, the summer is going to drag, but more time to lose more weight lol, I'm sorry you got sick on your trip, but that is how we learn

Shopping is much more fun than anything!!! We are going this afternoon to look for area rugs. The house is all laminate wood flooring and has a very high ceiling so there is a bad echo. Have fun shopping!!!

I hope you found the perfect rug for your new house, shopping is addictive, much better choice than food

We found a couple of rugs, but hubby is positive he can get similar rugs for less expensive online. Ughhh men!!! Ended up getting a shopping cart crammed full of other household stuff. Mainly for daughter's room and bath. How did your shopping go?
