B&A

Actual Monday of the week.

Well, great news from WW. I am officially down 20.2lbs! I took a before and after comparison pic but I'm a little disappointed. You can see a difference but it is hardly noticeable to me. I see so many other people post 15, 20, 25lb before and afters and there is such a dramatic difference but there is no drama for me :-(. But I said I would post a B&A pic at 20lbs so I will.

Me minus 20lbs

So, here it is. I guess upon seeing here like this there is a bigger difference than I thought but still, I wish it were bigger. BUT, I'll take it! About 35 more to go. Gotta keep the glass half full rather than half empty!

I did get to buy new clothes last week. For the first time in a long time doing that was actually fun. I started at a size 16 and am now in a 12! To that end, the size 12 fits perfectly, not tight! Unfortunately 10s are a bit tight but I can actually get in them, lol. They resemble sausage casings when on but, none the less, they are on, lol!

Running, in general, has gotten easier. It just doesn't feel as hard to move my body. There are days when you go out to run and just feel like a lead balloon 'cause you're tired or something. I have had a couple of those days lately. But even on those days the quality of the drag-ass feeling is different. I still feel like I can move easier. It's weird. A good weird. These feeling and experiences are all new to me.

I was in Wal-Mart this weekend. I stopped in the sports section to look at some stuff. I saw the weights there and picked up 2 10lb weights and handed them to my daughter. "That's how much weight I've lost!" I told her. She was amazed. I took the weights and held them up straight over my head and walked around to see if I remember feeling like that when I was heavier. I can't say that I did but I was amazed at how much weight I felt bearing down on me. Wow...and I have 35 more to go! That's soooo much heaviness! How could I have been running marathons like that????

Well, I will post another B&A pic at -30lbs. Huh, I'll be on the flip side of the weight loss journey by then :-). I will have lost more than half of what I want to lose. I can't imagine that. I can't wait!!!
