The Best is Yet to Come

..and don’t it feel good?

You betcha’ it does!

It’s taken me a long time and it’s been a long journey, but after taking my newest progress pics this morning, I can really see some big differences, even when comparing my pics to just 2 months ago.

Finally, this fat suit is almost GONE for GOOD!!!!!! Ain’t nothing that feels better, let me tell ya’, except for a good round of mind-blowing sex……and heck, even that’s going to be better! I must admit that as my weight decreases, my um, yeah, well, let’s just say that the drive is definitely increased.

Just another added bonus….of course, having a worthy partner to bestow such benefits upon would be a bonus as well, but at this point, I’m not really even looking. I have better things to do with my time - like pump some iron.

Damn, I need a better camera! Here’s the promised pics, not putting them in my Bodyspace photos, since they’re kinda cheesy.

I do believe that I have now found a new personal anthem….for the moment, anyway. I swear I do have Musical ADD…LOL

Got asked to lunch yesterday by a group of random guys that I see in passing all the time, but don’t really have a friendship established with. That felt good….and no, I passed on it, but I WILL be going out with the same group of people, plus a bit more from the office because one of them is leaving after Friday. Should be fun…..and no, I will not be screwing up my diet…it’s Diet Soda all the way, and NO JACK DANIELS! I remember what happened the last time a very handsome gentleman so graciously bought a few for me recently….oh boy. Yeah, I think I’ll stay sober, I’m much more conservative then.

It’s an amazing feeling….starting to feel like my old self again. And getting reacquainted with what I really look like underneath that nasty fat suit. You know what? I think I like me. Who knew? LOL

Going to the gym tonight, and then I do believe Peter owes me a favor, so he should be taking some new progress pics for me. Maybe I’ll go tanning too.

Right now I have no major plans for the weekend, except for heading up to Wisconsin to kick back with my girls……I miss my friends!!!!! No worries, I’ll make more, and the ones I do have are for life….and only under 2 hours away. I could; however, be persuaded to stay in town given the right incentive. Hmmm…..

Anyway, here’s the song….off the new Joss Stone cd which is AWESOME!!!!
Work it
Girls we gotta work it like we do
Turn a head or two
Cause we’re worth it
So I ain’t gonna waste my time waiting on you
Gotta make your move
You’ve had my number for two or three days or more
If you’re a real man then you can’t ignore mmmm, mmmm
this

Sometimes it’s physical
But I want supernatural
I don’t have wings but I’m ready to fall
I deserve it all

Headturner yeah
Soul burner
Ya gonna watch me walk, then watch me walk
Headturner yeah
Are you a slow learner
Come and take my hand
Cause I’ll find another man
If you’re gonna watch me walk, then watch me walk

Ya gotta earn it
Nothing in life is free you gotta bring your love to
me baby, baby, baby
Emotional, mmm I got it
Sexual, mmm I got it
Spiritual, God knows I’ve got it
What you want, baby I got it

Headturner yeah
Soul burner
If you’re gonna watch me walk, then watch me walk
Headturner yeah
Are you a slow learner
Come and take my hand
I’ll find another man
If ya gonna watch me walk, then watch me walk
Uh huh

No one can love you like I love you
No one can do the things that I would do to you
I’d do something about it if I were you
Or feel my heels as I’m walking over you

Me, myself and I are once again all back together in ONE profile. Woohoo!!!!!! My forum profile is no longer that of "the chosen one"..and I can post freely once again. Thank heavens that’s over!

So, in honor of this momentous occasion, I shall be taking new pics TONIGHT, and will post them in my Bodyspace photos.

Edit: Lighting sucks, taking new ones tomorrow. I swear.

Deadbeatrec….here is where you are on the front page:

Or at least my Bodyspace is! I think my blog is half-broken. My forum profile is completely FUBAR’d and my PM’s don’t work! Egads……

New multiple personality disorder developing……send any PM’s to this chick:
EDITED…….second profile being deleted since BodySpaceAdmin fixed mine!!! Woohoo!!!!

..for a little while anyway. This whole shrinking thing IS fun! And so are all of the fringe benefits that come with it! Brings back memories from my early 20’s - except now I’m much older and wiser and will NOT take anything for granted.

As for the fun part? Yeah, I’ve been far too serious for FAR too long! It’s time to get out and enjoy life to its fullest…….and embrace the best parts of me, and right now, they’re only getting better!

…for a little while anyway.

I find that I’ve definitely moved on in my mind, and that’s something I wasn’t sure I’d ever be able to do. But I went for a little walk at lunch and realized that I’m finally FREE!!!!!!

Free to make my own decisions without having to think about anyone else
Free to dance around naked in my living room if I want to
Free to drink my skim milk straight out of the carton just because I can
Free to sing at the top of my lungs in the shower if I feel like it
Free to go where I want when I want and with whomever I want and do whatever I want

The other major bonus today? I went into Carson’s just on a whim and tried on size 10 jeans and work pants in multiple brands just to be sure….and they FIT! Damn, I’ve got some storage bins of size 12, 14, 16 and 18 up in Wisconsin that shall hopefully find a nice happy home with somebody else! Good news is that I also have sizes 10 and 8.

I can’t remember the last time I went shopping and tried on a smaller size on purpose just to feel good. Yes, my clothes continue to get smaller, but up until today, I’ve always been a little surprised. Now, I KNOW that the smaller sizes will fit, and that’s a confidence I haven’t felt in way too long. Still have a long way to go as far as reducing my BF%, but that’s nothing compared to what I’ve already accomplished.

Guess I’ll have to aim for an 8 now.

Or rather, MY head!

This was priceless, and it’s a good thing my parents never thought to name me Grace.

Peter came home last night and I went to go tell him something, so I go to open up the door of the spare room (we are NOT sharing a bed these days)….and the door hits my toe and bounces back and whacks me in the right cheekbone and somehow also my chest. He wasn’t sure if I was laughing or crying, and frankly, neither was I. And yeah, that DID leave a mark!

Just one more of my special talents…..running into things. You’d think now that I’m smaller it wouldn’t be an issue! But, apparently, I have no spatial recognition and just randomly run into stuff. I really need to live in a house with no 90 degree angles just to keep from having the random bruises appear from nowhere…….and leaving me wondering what the heck I ran into to get them!

Went for my run last night instead of to the gym….I didn’t feel like dealing with Pete while I was doing my squats, so I’m doing them tonight instead. Woohoo!!!

….and another one gone, and another one gone

ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST!!!!!!

Another pound, and another pair of pants.

Sadly, my favorite Banana Republic pants that I haven’t put on in a while (that used to be quite snug) have now retired to the cool pants graveyard. I put them on…..they fell down. Literally.

I’m really starting to enjoy this whole transformation….as I have veins starting to pop out in my hands and feet, muscle that was long buried is being rediscovered……to take a cue from my favorite soul sister, Maddi, I do believe that this quest for new muscles is becoming quite the adventure. And yep, I DO like to flex them!

On a sidenote, Peter said that I’m getting my Lara Croft  groove on today. Olive green cargo pants and a black tee. Frankly, that man better count his blessings that I haven’t gone all Tomb Raider on his a$$. He certainly deserves it.

Physically.

Mentally.

Emotionally.
