This morning, I overslept and didn't make it to church. This was a bit upsetting as starting my week without church is like trying to start a lawnmower without gas -- it just doesn't work. Since I had already overslept, I pulled the covers to my neck and went back to sleep for another hour or so. When I finally motivated myself to get up, I realized again, the cats were out of food which meant I needed to head off to Wal-mart. This was okay however as I needed to go get several newspapers for couponing.
When I got into the truck, I'm driving down the road and realized how much easier the truck (my Dodge Durango) has been much easier to drive without my stomach hanging on the steering wheel. As you know, today's vehicles are equipped with power steering, but if you have a stomach laid on it, then it's more like manual labor trying to guide your vehicle throughout the town. So that was my first esteem booster.
My second esteem booster was when a girl I was in training class with at work back in 2010 had ran into me. She was like, hello and how are you, then looked me up from head to toe. She asked me if I had surgery. My response was, "surgery for what". She said the weight loss surgery. I told her, no, I did not, nor would I ever as I'm scared of knives and needles, plus I wanted to lose this on my own. Anyhow, she said I looked great, to keep up the good work, and asked what I was doing. Eating less... basically, I am eating much less as I stay full on protein rather than carbohydrates which make me sluggish and hungry 30 minutes later.
Anyhow, I wanted to share that with you today. I'm not sure of any pound totals as I don't weigh myself. I shared with my friends a few days earlier that I can finally measure my hips with a 60" measuring tape, which I haven't been able to do since my daughter was in diapers. There's progress, I'm aiming for more progress. I have a doctor's appointment on the 18th and will get my weight at that point. Otherwise, aim high and go for your goals! That's my motto. God bless.
