183, A Walk In The Rain And A Good Book

I hadn't weighed myself since Wednesday morning, the day I
sadly acknowledged that I'd only lost 1 pound that week.
Well, I'm back on track! I got on the scale this morning
and was shocked, but happy to see that I'm down to 183! 3
pounds in 3 days! Now my goal of 175 by November 14 feels
very attainable. I was starting to wonder if I'd ever get
back into the groove of losing (instead of just
maintaining, or dropping a pound a week). I know patience
is a virtue, but I have none when it comes to my waistline.

I've yet to remove my "skinny" clothes from the space bag
in the back of my closet. I'm not sure why. I'm a good 10
pounds smaller than I was when I use to wear them.
Psychologically, though, I don't feel any smaller. In
fact, in some ways I feel bigger. Mostly because my body
is different from just having a baby. All the clothes I
put away are size 14/16, which I'm almost out of (size 12,
here I come!) I'm out of the plus size section all
together and I'm so proud of that. It was hard realizing
I'd gotten that big when I started shopping in the "big
girl" section, but now it feels great to know I'll never
shop there again. Maybe today I'll drag that bag out and
see what treasures I've forgotten I own!

The weather is so yucky outside, but I still think I'll
sneak out for a walk in the rain. Snookums just got home
from Albertsons. He bought enough wood to have a fire all
day long. There's nothing I love more than a fire on a
rainy day :) I've already got my day planned. Walking in
the rain, hot shower, book by the fire. Lovely.

I've started a new book called Can You Keep A Secret. It's
a modern comedy and so far it's good. It's about a
struggling career woman in London, who while flying on
business, spills her guts to the man next to her (she's a
nervous flier and the turbulance made her overly chatty).
Only to discover that the man she told her innermost
secrets to is the new CEO of the company she works for.
She told him some embarrassing things, too. Like where she
lost her virginity and how she has no idea where her G-
spot is and how tight and uncomfortable her thong is. I
thought I'd get away from the tragic books I usually read,
and try something funny and I'm so glad I did. Every
couple of minutes I break out into laughter and my whole
family thinks I'm crazy now!

I'm feeling so happy today! Even though I'm feeling sick
to my stomach constantly, it isn't really bothering me too
much and if it's a stomach bug, I'll survive and if I'm
pregnant, that's okay, too. It's all good! Ciao.
