THEY FIT....Almost

One of the things that bothered me the most while being pregnant and swollen like a balloon was that since the end of February I couldn't wear my wedding rings. That's right, not only do I look like a high school kid, the one sign that shows the world that I am in fact a mature adult, I had to wear on a necklace. This morning I tried my rings on. They went all the way on!!!! I am so excited, now I didn't keep them on because I know in this west Texas heat that I will swell some through out the day. I was so happy I thought I might cry, but instead I just did a happy dance around the house (well, in my current size I would say that the happy dance looked more like a buffalo walking through a prairie dog town, but hey you get the idea).

I also tried on some of my heels this morning. They fit! A little snug still, but hey, I'm getting there. These little goals make me realize I am getting somewhere. 

As of yesterday morning I was down 27 lbs at exactly 2 weeks post partum. I have a long way to go before I get to where I want to be number wise, but I am almost half way there. Now, as far as appearance, I am light years from where I want to be. Imagine where I want to be is the sun and I am on the former planet known as Pluto. 

I can't wait to have a waist again. I really hope my ribs go back some. 

My belly looks pretty good for only two weeks I think, its the fat on my back that I strategically hid with my arms that I am not a fan of! 

So what am I doing to help me get to the place I want to be. Well, I would be lying if I said I was eating perfectly, because I'm just not. For now I am just making wise choices and trying to practice stopping when I am full (note: I said trying!). I am walking daily, yesterday thanks to our dear friend the west Texas wind I had to walk on the dreadmill! Ugh! On my walks I can't wait to run. I have to fight the urge to break into a run. I miss it so. 

Everyday I tell myself, 9 months on, 9 months off. Make today a day I would be proud of if I wrote my food choices down! 

Well, Little Man is waking up from his nap, snack time! I must be off!
