Ok… so last night, no sleep again, as usual. Typical life of an insomniac (yes, I’ve tried MANY different meds in many different combination and different methods, I’ve been like this since i was very young child, nothing works)… Anyhow— So I made use of my time by "cleaning up house". I know it’s not a "actual work out", but it definitely gave me a "work out" per se. I did usual stretches (I know I need to write that routine and i will get around to it)… and the reason for the clean up is mainly because my mother was visiting… and oddly enough, she didn’t even come in, so I did all the work for "nothing"… but I got a semi-work out from it.
Anyhow, once she got here I went out. YAY! I’m uncomfortable alone in the neighborhood, but we went out around stpres in town. So I walked all over the stores and stuff all day. Which was another good little work out… the little ones add up. And, she insisted I need new clothes… which I always HATE doing. I hate "clothing shopping" with a passion (i hate all shopping actually, but that’s another story)… but I got a nice surprise. I’ve lost SIX sizes!
Yeah, I literally AVOIDED clothing shopping a LONG time for obvious reasons. Nothing ever fit, everything ooked bad cuz I looked bad, all that sort of thing. I went from a size 22 down to now 16! …I know, 16 is still VERY fat (i’m 5′3", short and fat is horrible combination). The lowest size I’ve ever been is 14… I’m only TWO sizes away from that (haven’t been that size since middle school, how sad is that?)
I’m looking forward to losing MUCH more, and today was a HUGE motivation to do so. In fact after all the shopping stuff we ended up going out to eat… another thing i usually hate doing because I always get annoying stares. But I was actually not paying attention to anyone this time, so if I got any, I didn’t notice. Usually I’d either not eat, or say "screw it, I’m getting whatever I want"… Not this time. I did pretty good (for ME, i know others would do better). I had a tiny bit of broccolie cheese soup (like 5 or 6 teaspoon fulls) then gave the rest to my mother cuz I didn’t want all those calories, I just wanted "a taste". As for my meal, I got this shrimp / pesto / alfredo pasta… thing. I got steamed broccoli with it too just to add variety. I ended up eating like, 4 noodes of the pasta, most of the shrimp (like 4 or 5 pieces) and some most the broccoli. And followed usual thing (eat really slow, chew everything super well, put fork down between each bite etc). I had a few sips of a strawberry - mango - lemonade thing, but my main drink of course was water.
So again… not great, but not bad either. I personally hate salad so… eating out is always a pain for me. So, thats all for now, I’ll update again tomorrow.
