BekkaL85's Journal, 10 Oct 11

I'm fairly proud of myself lately.

I've been eating better, and feeling better. Down to 333, which is only 34 pounds until I hit the 200's. This makes me a very proud panda! I'm hoping to hit that particular goal before I go into the doctor's office in Jan.

A couple of days ago, Michael and I re-arranged our bedroom around. I moved furniture (with a hovering Michael in case my back gave out) and vaccummed and everything. That night we went to a bonfire at CC and Cassie's house. And (I'm not proud of this one!) I got kinda drunk. It was fun, at the time. I don't get hangovers, thank god, but it always takes a couple of days for me to feel like normal again. Today I'm back to normalcy.

Grandpa is doing SO much better. My mom, Kelly and her kids, and I are gonna go see him this weekend.

Our Halloween party is in 19 days! YAY! I love our parties and such, but I'm even more excited that Halloween is actually coming. My favorite holiday. Even the wheather starts to feel like magic and fire and all things that are fall.

I think that's why I'm in such a good mood actually. It's why I can handle this diet so easily right now. Because even though summer is trying its hardest to hang on, fall is fighting hard. Fall just gives me more energy. I know that it's probably just all in my head...but whatever helps, right?

I'm fitting better in the shower too. I don't hit the curtian when I turn around anymore. And I'm finding that I'm much more limber too. I like to sit curled up on myself..it's been that way for as long as I can rememeber. But before I had to constantly re-arrange myself because I would start to hurt. Not so much anymore! I can curl up to my hearts content on the bed and the sofa. Chairs are still a bit of a difficulty, but at least the sofa and the bed are better.

I feel like I'm almost at my goal to be able to go up the stairs and not be panting when I get to the top. I still do a little bit of heavy breathing..but I figure that will go away in 2 or 3 pounds or so.

Tonight is BBQ boneless beef ribs with bbq sauce, and onions and peppers. They are all in the crock pot right now. YUMMY! I accidently spilled a little bit to much red pepper flakes in it though. That will make Michael a very happy panda. I'll deal. Just gotta remind myself that hot\spicy foods make you feel like your full faster, not to mention the fact that hot\spicy foods are good for your metablism!

That's awesome progress Bekka! 33 pounds by January - it's a challenging goal, but I know you can do it! I hadn't heard that spicy foods make you feel full faster, but I definitely had heard about the metabolism thing! Can't wait to hear about the Halloween party details!

you are doing an amazing job Bekka. and all these "little" things you are noticing, that really arent so little, are all because of you! and all the effort you are putting in. I know you get support, like we all do here on FS, but you are the one that has to do the actual work. so be very very proud of yourself. and dont give up, ever....it will be an amazing journey when you reach your goal and you will be so much wiser. And have a great Halloween! Its my favorite too and i rarely even dress up. but i love the smells and feel of fall
