Tuesdays Weigh In

So... today is Tuesday and that means it's my weigh in day at home.  I only do it once a week, as I mentioned before.  I'm happy to announce that I am no longer in a stall (just like my dr said would happen) and I have officially lost a total of 64 lbs.  That's 5 lbs since last tuesday, which I am THRILLED about.  I'm at a good number, however none of my jeans fit.  I've purchased a belt that is definitely going to get some use, because I can't keep buying new jeans.  10 days ago I bought a cute pair of jeans that now slide off if I'm not careful.  I just can't keep up.  Guess that's a good problem.

Also - totally unrelated - I got new glasses!!  TWO pairs of new glasses.  I now have 7 pairs, I believe I'm a bit addicted to cute, funky, fun glasses.... so much so that I also bought 2 extra pairs for my middle son, Carter.  We even have matching ones....  (everyone say "awwe"...) lol.

Back to the topic at hand... I've also learned that I can sit criss-cross on my recliner!  This is what we call an NSV (non scale victory) I believe I've mentioned them before.  This truly made me happy... I did it without even thinking then was like, Oh, look - I'm doing it.  Too funny.

Another NSV I had was when I went to watch our HS football team game at the stadium.  I easily walked all the way from the van to the stadium AND then walked halfway up the stadium seating to my spot without running out of breath or taking a break.  This may not sound like much to most people, but I haven't been able to do this without being winded for many years.  It was nice!!

Overall - not a too eventful day so far as my weight loss journey is continuing.  Surgeons office called this am to let me know my lab work came back and I need more protein and vitamin D.  She suggested I find Vit D drops and to eat my protein first.... I try, but I'll try to do better.  So... that's that.  I've lost 5 lbs since last tuesdays weigh in and I'm super proud!!  Yay!!

Much Love,
