Well, I had a pleasant surprise at weigh-in this week. I thought I was going to have another flat week but I actually lost 1.2lbs! So I am officially down 22lbs even!
I cleared out my drawers the other day. I was tired of not having any room to put away the clothes I always wear in favor of storing ancient clothes I never where. So, I cleared them all out. To my surprise, I collected 2, 13 gallon bags of clothes that were all too big for me! I did buy some new shorts and pants about a month ago since my usual clothes had gotten to big but I had no idea I had so many more big clothes. It was very liberating.
The cool part is even some of my shirts are starting to get too big. Wow. I can't wait till my body shape starts to change. As it is, I am smaller but I am still the same shape. Honestly, I feel like I
look like a sack of potatoes. I want my lumps and bumps to go away so I look good in a bathing suit. A sack of potatoes, no matter the size, just doesn't look good in a bathing suit, lol.
I want my stupid boobs to shrink a cup size so I don't feel like a massive linebacker. Y'all that aren't overly endowed let me tell you something. Boobs that are too big can actually make you feel unfeminine. I feel like when I walk through a doorway my boobs are the first thing to enter followed by the rest of me at some point. BUT, I *think* my boobs may be starting to shrink. My bra is feeling a little looser. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. The day I get to buy a new bra will be a great day!
Sigh...but that is still quite a ways away. But, chin-up, it is on the way.
On the running side, running is definitely easier. It is regularly easier to move my body. This is exhilarating. I have gone running a lot, lately, while very tired, both mentally and physically. It has been getting pretty hot these days, too. Summer is definitely here. But I went out Monday and ran at 3:15 in the afternoon (I had to, it was the only opportunity). It was the heat of the day and I was so sleepy from a crappy night's sleep.
Then there's this, what does it feel like to run at your ideal weight? I just can't wait to find out.
Congrats on the loss!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI have re-gained...it was soooo much easier to run without the extra weight! You are going to feel like your floating!!! And I've read that pace increases by huge increments without the weight!!!
Thank you. I am looking so forward to "running light." You can do this, too! keep on a truckin'. If we can run we can lose! ;-)
DeleteFound you at MaryFran's blog.
ReplyDeleteSounds like your doing a great job. Congratulations on the loss this week.
I feel your pain with the boob situation. Unfortunately, my doc says there are two types of boobs (those made of fat, and those made of actual flesh) and mine are flesh, so they never get smaller when I lose weight. They do firm up with exercise though!
LOL.
Oh boy, stuck with the big girls! Well, the awesome part is they can firm up and help hold themselves :-D. Thank you for the kind words.
