You never really understand a person
until you consider things from his point of view.

So, I decided to join the dating sight I was thinking of joining. It was so hard to make the decision to it. I am actually glad I did now. I am chatting with some really nice guys. I need to make sure I really pay attention to what peoples profiles say especially their ages. Some of the guys that contact me can not believe I am actually going to be 44 which is really nice. One of the guys I have been talking to for the last 2 days has lost 106 lbs so far & it's really nice that he gets that part of what I am doing and how important that this weight loss journey is to me. I am totally taking it slow with this one though. He already is talking about meeting me in a week or so. Whenever I am ready. Not quite sure when I will be ready. Only time will tell.
So I am down 44 lbs now. I can't believe it! I am well on my way. I am so proud of myself for getting this far and although I have a long way to go, I know I will get there eventually. I have goals!! My main goal is to get back into working out again. I really miss my old gym. I loved to work out on my own on the machines. I have a 2 week pass to a place locally and Susan (my friend & Roommate) and I are going to go with my FNP from my Dr's office. That will be fun. I need to get more info from online and then figure out what we're doing. I am going to join some gym, just not sure which one yet.
I have so much support on this lifestyle change. It's amazing.
I am really doing well with my food, although I found out that the protein bar I have been eating every day during the week, or almost every day, haw WHEAT GERM in it, needless to say, I never even realized it, it was so far down on the list. I spoke with my friend Adam who said it's not enough to hurt me, especially since I have been on a consistent weight loss of at least 2 lbs a week some weeks more, some weeks less, but I AM DOING IT! I am really happy. It's funny cause I know I am acting different like my friend Joe said. I think my spring in my step is because I even feel a little sexier, which I know is neither here nor there, but for me, It's a nice feeling.
The funniest thing happened tonight. (A little TMI for my male friends/readers SO SORRY). I went into the bathroom and never unbuttoned my capri's they just fell off me, I looked down & laughed, and thought, THAT HAS NEVER HAPPEN BEFORE! LOL And last year, these capri's were new and just fit, cause "I was going to lose weight and they would fit me better, so when I took the tags off them this year, because I never wore them last year, they were big on me. Which to my delight shocked me. I look in the mirror sometimes and don't see the weight loss, and then other times, when I look at and compare pic's I think, WOW have I worked really hard n I can really see a difference. I also have some amazing friends that point out my weight loss to me when I wear certain outfits or colors. So that is awesome and helps me too. I had someone tell me today, how much I inspire her. That was really sweet. I have had so many people tell me that which just blows me away totally!
Well I am going to finish my glass of wine, chat with the new guy some more, since he has already been waiting for me to get back to chatting. And then, hit the bed & hopefully pass out since i am so tired!!
Hope you all have a great night!
Thanks for coming back and supporting me again.
Godspeed.
Jenn
