& thank you all for the hugs and comments & reps on the 63 lbs lost, i'm still so tickled pink over this, heh...
Breakfast this morning -
Omelet (1 egg + 1 egg white) , with some peppers, onions, mushrooms, yum.
small dish of fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, blackberries & raspberries) (about 1/2 cup)
4 oz skim milk
1/2 cup cornflakes
i'm on my way out to meet my father and go walking, (& run errands same time).. so packing myself a snack, 2 clementines & a banana... not sure which i want so bringing em all lol.
Some small achievements i've been noticing..
- my clothes are getting baggy, of course, but i'm fitting in things i haven't fit in for years!
- my facial features, my face has slimmed down alot..
- i've gone down another bra size *yay*
- i can climb stairs without holding a rail and hauling myself up, i can literally just jog up the stairs now for a good work out..this is huge for me..and to run up stairs non stop even.
- Yesterday, i dressed up & actually looked in a mirror and felt "pretty" ..
- i can cross my legs, comfortably (sounds silly, but i couldnt)
- my breathing, when i am walking or exercising has changed dramatically
- my extreme thirst has totally gone away (i could never quench it before)
- i was taken off my blood pressure medication over a month ago now
- energy, energy, energy, i can't get over all of my energy..
- i worked three days in a row (12 hour shifts) and not once did i come home with sore feet or sore legs... i recognize alot of my aches & pains were weight related
- i'm a bundle of smiles everyday - my attitude is so much more positive, and i'm loving that change in me so much.
- my confidence, has grown so much.. i don't tolerate the kinds of people who used to bring me down..nor the bullying - i was bullied a lot.
- my desire to work hard at this journey, changes daily...the more i work at it, the stronger & more determined i get..
- i feel like i have a figure now, my daughter & her friends remark on that a lot..(i'm blushing, heh)
- i am much more aware of my environment when i have a plate of food in front of me, relaxing & enjoying my food a bite at a time are a must..and i can do it now.. food was such a part of my stress, with my eating disorder.
- i am accepting help, with my addiction & ED and accepting i can't do it alone.
- i am petit mal epileptic, and my symptoms are SO controllable now.. i don't take seizures, but i do get extreme dizzy spells , go in deep stares, etc.. i took myself off of medication and i can control my spells with a healthy diet, proper rest, exercise etc.. And it feels tremendous to NOT feel so sluggish and under the weather every single day.. in fact, i cant remember the last time i had a spell, because it's so rare now..(and mostly just if i'm really stressed, now).
Anyway, they are just a few of the things i am noticing , not even about the weight loss but more the healthy journey in itself.. i feel fabulous!
What kinds of changes do you all notice with your body & within as well?
