Friday weigh in update

So guess what? I not only reached my March 25th goal, I passed it! w00t w00t!

Last week I was 187 (the week before that i was 189.5) and today i'm 184.5. My goal was to be 186lbs which is the weight i was when i met my husband 12 yrs ago in march. woohooo!!!

I gotta tell ya I'm loving these numbers. Especially after having been in a little stall after the holidays. and I owe it ALL to this new protein powder. It's serious. I'm just too full now. All I eat pretty much is cheese, peanuts, garbanzo beans, greek yogurt and water. Occasionally I'll have a bite or two of something I cook for dinner but its getting to the point where there's no point in cooking dinner.  Despite not eating meals I'm very satiated and full even. Its a bit of a struggle now to even get my waters in.

I'm starting to see changes in  my arms. Which is interesting because I hadn't seen much in my arms. I mean i've been lifting weights even before surgery but now it seems some of the fat is starting to melt away and i can start to see some definition. it might be all the Wii rhythm kung fu. my arms and back always feel sore after i do that. and i hear using your own body weight helps you get sculpted. i still have a long way to go. but i def see improvements. also my but is looking better too :) squats.

for the first time i'm having a little inkling of hope that maybe some parts of my body will bounce back and look decent. my arms are questionable but there is a chance. my ass i'm not worried about. its really improving. my boobs are saggy and sad but i can live with that. my problem areas are my gut, my upper thighs and my back boobs. the gut and thighs will have to get the snip snip for sure. my back is not nearly as saggy or stretched out but there just seems to be sooo much of it. when i try to get my shoulders blades to touch i can feel the folds of skin on my back. its gross. i'm hoping that with weight loss it shrinks back there. its such a strange feeling to be fat in your back and its taking forever to go away.

the thought of plastic surgery scares the crap out of me so i'm hoping for as much natural shrinkage as i can get.

In the meantime I'm loving the weight loss! i had to throw out all my old pajama pants and buy new ones. its so nice to wear pants that aren't falling off. which reminds me..i need new regular pants. which sucks because i'm 5'0 so i have to get them hemmed. a waste of money bc i just need a new pair after a month. and i bought some new tees at old navy yesterday.

This weekend my sis in law and brother in law are coming over for the weekend! i'm so excited!!

see the thing about food now is that certain foods are so not worth it to me. especially now that i can't hardly eat. whatever it is i'll only eat a few bites. so i'm not gonna stress about it. just gonna make sure i have my snacks on me at all times. :)

HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!!
