Thank you to all who've commented to make me feel better about my slow weight loss and to stroke my ego a bit.
Here are the facts (that is if you really even care what the facts truly are):
- My hair and skin look fabulous lately. Robbie even told me I was glowing the other night. (I love it when he sucks up to me...he always gets bonus points and he knows it - dagnabit (I'm really enjoying that word today!)).
- I don't get so winded when I walk up a hill.
- I'm getting better at pilates which means my muscles are getting stronger (I am woman - hear me ROAR!).
- I'm not retaining as much water and my fingers don't look so chubby.
- I've always hated my chubby fingers.
- I looked in the mirror today and I felt like I saw a skinnier me.
- I have a TON of energy and mental clarity.
- I'm going to confess on this one: I really don't want to lose weight for health purposes. Deep down inside I just want to look smokin' in a bathing suit come summer time, but at this rate - that's probably not going to happen. *Sigh*
- I'm totally vain and self absorbed. Well - maybe not really, but kind of!?!? I mean I think we all wish we looked like a super model, but since this is a reality blog, I'd just like my butt to look fairly decent in a pair of jeans.
What to do...what to do? I guess just keep trucking along with my diet. I know I'm going to need to change up my routine a bit for the weight to keep falling off, but I don't feel quite ready for that. For now...I'm going to keep on counting...
