168.8! =) Only 18.8 more pounds to go! =) I'm feeling in a better frame of mind today. I left work early on Friday, then couldn't log on from home, so ended up cleaning and going grocery shopping, until Hubby could figure out what was wrong with the connection (uuummm yeah, basic problem…the internet cable was unplugged from the docking station! Doh).
Thank you everyone for all the suggestions on how to get myself out of this funk feeling from last week's bad news. I ended up going to Wholefoods and buying a bunch of fresh veggies, and found some BEAUTIFUL Tropical flowers, that reminded me of our honeymoon in Kauai. In Kauai, there was this huge palm tree outside our bedroom window that reminded my husband and I of a "Las Vegas Showgirl's headdress", and the flowers from the bouquet were from that tree! I had candles lit, and dinner made for when hubby came home…I also served us lemonade (because the Pina Coladas would have been way too many points) in some fun fru-fru glasses, and rented 3 movies for us to chose from. It was perfect, and just what the doctor ordered :) We have also been trying to go for a walk every night after dinner. We walked out, and the neighbor across the way from us was standing out there with his little boy, while donning a pair of shorts with black socks and loafers on (looked AWFUL! Hahaha). He said, oh geesh, don't look at this old man. I said, old? I'm pretty sure I'm your age. He said, oh no, I'm WAY older than you are. So I said, how old are you? He said, I'm 41. LOL! I laughed, and said, ummmm, I turn 40 in March. We left for our walk after that, and hubby said, doh! I think you shocked him and disgusted him at the same time! So that was a good feeling that he thought I was waaaaaay younger than him. =)
The rest of the weekend was relatively spent alone, because hubby had to study for his all day class on Sunday. I ended up running some errands…and having to go buy 4 baby gifts for 3 friends that had their baby's, and 1 friend who is expecting theirs. Was hard seeing all the cute little clothes, the pregnant mommies' walking around shopping…but I just kept my mind focused that I was happy for them, and that my day would come.
Sunday was a decent day. With losing almost 40 pounds…I've found that all my clothes are baggy on me, and I really didn't have any clothes to wear for our upcoming trips! We are going to Philadelphia this weekend, then on vacation to Prince Edward Island the following week…and then come back for two weddings (one on the 29th and one on the 30th). I went to Kohl's and Lord and Taylor. I found some great….ah hummmm….SIZE 10!!! Dresses that fit! Down from a 16 just 4 months ago! One if a burgundy color, the other this deep teal (I'll post photos after the weddings). Now I just need to find some cute matching shoes! I've found that I'm a solid size 10 now in everything…including jeans! :)
I also stopped by a friends house that has the most adorable kitten!!! She's a mix with a Siamese kitten....seriously adorable! Check her out :)
That’s the kind of weekend it was….ups..and downs…but today is sunny outside, I'm making Chicken Tikka Marsala tonight and going to do arm exercises tonight as both of those dresses for the weddings are sleeveless! =) hahaah
Thanks again for all your support and kind words…it really does make a difference. =)
