Living For The Day

My day was fairly uneventful. I spent most of the day
cropping, printing and cutting out what seemed like
millions of pictures of the girls for the grandparents. It
was my project, today. To keep me occupied for the bulk of
the day. I also did the girls' laundry and tidied up the
house a bit. I didn't realize how messy Snookums is, until
he's been gone more than 24 hours. He's been gone longer
than he generally is on a duty day, so the true affect of
his absence is now being felt, and I'm OKAY. I
overdramatized how scared I'd be having him gone, but now
that I'm in the midst of it, I'm fine.

I'm not sure if you've noticed but, I haven't been pre-
occupied with my weight lately. Aren't you proud? I've
been enjoying how health I'm feeling and living for the
day. If I don't lose another pound (which I will) I'm
happy with how losing these 18 pounds has made me feel.
It's made a world of difference. I'm not trapped in my
body anymore. I can live freely, without the restraint of
the fat rolls. I can reach my feet to tie my shoelaces :)
I've always been told that I carry weight well. I don't
look as much as I weigh. I'm starting to believe it,
because everyone I run in to (that I haven't seen in
awhile) keep telling me that. I'm still 200 pounds, but
the Pilates and toning exercises are tightening everything
up and making me look more compact. Even I can see it, and
I'm my own worst critic. I'm very pleased with the
progress I've made in 3 1/2 weeks. Who would have thought
I had it in me?

I'm going to go do some of those beneficial exercises now.
I'm feeling in the mood for a good sweat :) Ciao.
