Finally, another new low weight.....
I finally hit another new low weight. 159.4 last Friday!!! Could not believe when I looked down and I saw that number. It's been 16 years since I've seen it. I'm becoming something I never thought I'd be, a shopaholic. I love going to try new, smaller clothes at the thrift store. I swear, I am such a convert. Even after I reach my goal weight, I can't see myself buying very many clothes at regular retail prices. Why on earth, when I get really good quality, name-brand jeans so cheap? The last visit, I got four pairs of really cute pants/jeans for $12. Yes!! ...and the sizes are getting smaller!!!
I'm so happy I got the band. It still is a struggle and the weight loss is slower than I hoped for, but it's working. I am on that total Thyroid replacement medicine, so part of the slowness is just my body metabolism being messed up because of that. I also know that part is that I could do better with some of my eating. Exercise wise, I am doing great. Last month, I increased my weight lifting, which is helping. Most of all, I'm excited to be doing well with these abdominal exercises I started doing. There's a thing in the gym at work, that you stand on, rest your arms on the 'bars' and grab the pegs at the end. Once you are set, the idea is to step off the bottom and to raise your legs up together, working your abdominals. You can keep your legs bent at the knee or out straight. When I first tried it, I could only do 1 1/2. Now, I can do up to 20 at a time. The problem is because I am so short and my arms are short, it is a little more difficult for me. I have to hold on so hard, pushing my shoulders so hard on the back piece, that it's causing pain in my right shoulder. So, I've held off of doing that for a few days.
Another issue I'm having is feeling hungry pretty soon after I eat. Not all the time, but enough that now I think it's time to schedule a fill. I'll try to call tomorrow and schedule that. Hopefully, I can get in soon.
Well, that's all for now. Bye!
