Stair count

18 sets of stairs so far today. Lots of boxes packed & the house is getting empty looking. 3 loads of donations gone.

This clear out is going awesome.

Salty!

Last night We went to see Jack the giant killer at the movies. I had some popcorn for dinner. And so this morning I had on a massive salt bloat.

Today's food at work was a lot better than the rest of this week has been. I've been on three work lunches this week which is the worst way to eat.

And, I've been having small treats in the afternoons that I don't need. I've had cottage cheese, pineapple, and blueberries in the fridge since Wednesday and finally I have been today for my afternoon snack. Damn! I forgot how delicious that combination is!

So this afternoon I got a massive amount of protein and some great berries instead of half of a chocolate bar. Feeling pretty happy about that.

This weekend is going to be a lot of sorting tossing donating and packing for next weekend's big move. I'm not sure but I'm going to guess that I'll do at least 50 sets of stairs this weekend. Maybe I should put a sticky note and a pen at the top of each sets of that I can count..... Maybe......

Happy accident

!!Massive NSV today!!

We are in the middle of jeans week (yay) at the office. Got up this morning and grabbed my dark jeans off the shelf, threw em on and went to the office.

Just finally got home and pealed out of my work clothes. I went to get my pj's out of the dryer.... Lo and behold, in the dryer are the size 18 jeans that I thought I was wearing all day.

What!?!?!?

I ran back to the bedroom and looked at the jeans I had taken off. They were accidentally pulled down from my "too small" stack...

Size 16's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Weigh in today - 248.0

Did a little happy dance right there in the newd!

Woooooooooooo!

New Job Monday

Phew.... Feel like I've not stopped moving today. Busy busy busy busy. New job started and I've been on the trot the whole time.

Finally home to decompress and relax with some catching up on The Walking Dead.

Weigh in this morning was up, but I ate like shit yesterday. Hitting the water tonight and getting to bed nice and early.

Ahhhh. Day one is over. Phew.

Harboring Fugitives

Clearly my body has been harboring fugitives for an entire month! 

Weigh in this morning:  247.4

WAAAAA!!?!?!?!

Weighed in 2 more times just to be sure... also got photo evidence.   That's 3.6lbs in 3 days. 

Fraking WOW.

Down

Down again this morning. Very pleased!

Weigh in: 249.4

Lots of tasks done this Saturday. Volunteered at Dress for Success this morning, then home to move a bunch of extra furniture down to the ground floor. Futon, two bedside tables, desk chair, and a desk. Up and down 2 flights of stairs too many times to count! It was All in the spare room - which we won't have room for in our temp apartment .... Which we rented for March 16.

House closing is imminent!! So we have secured a place to go while we look for a new home.

So the furniture was given to some friends who needed some. A great help to us and them. I love win win.

I got my exercise today, that's for sure.

Pork chops for dinner with applesauce. Yummy! Watching Flight on the sofa with the husband. Good day indeed.

KerBoom!

Another milestone fell this morning.

Weigh in 249.6

I'm under 250.  There is just something about 250lbs that sounds (to me) to be the threshold for largeness.  "Normals", i.e. people who have never had a weight problem, see that number as the over/under. The officially fat number.  

It was certainly one of those numbers that defeated me on the way up.  Over 250lbs, I was crushed. I have fought with that number for ages.  

Yesterday one of my co-workers commented on how I was half the size and looked great!  I talked with her a bit about how that morning I had hit my -50lb goal and that I had another 50 to go. She could NOT BELIEVE that I could lose another 50.  “oh no, don’t do that you will be too skinny”.  I didn’t divulge my actual weight to her, but if I had, I bet that would have changed her opinion. Her opinion about it all in fact – her opinion that I look good, that I’m small enough and don’t have a lot more weight to lose. 

So, I’m finally here in my weight loss - the magical place where people who know you think that you are finally just small enough and are starting to think that you should call it off and stay where you are. Of course, my previous size is an illusion, I do look smaller, but I’m far from normal sized.  It’s the illusion from going from so big, to smaller. 

So I’ll take that compliment and move on.  Damn it I’m happy today. Under 250lbs is a great feeling.
