Things have been crazy, but mostly uneventful...if that even makes sense. We've been keeping busy.
I started a medically assisted weight loss program last month. I'm down 21 pounds. That's about a third of my first goal. Well, no. That's a lie. I've got 16lbs till I reach my first goal, "One"derland as they say. From there it'll be another 21 to my ok weight range. Then another bit to reach a "healthy BMI". That's in quotes because you know how skewed the BMI chart is. I carry quite a bit of lean weight under this massiveness that allows me to carry more than BMI says is acceptable. Maybe I'm in denial ;)
The program has allowed me to get over some mental obstacles that held me back from dieting before. It has also helped with some physical aspects...the mind/body connection if you will. I'll go into more detail about it later.
I attribute all of my success so far to my close friends, husband, coworkers, and doctor who are all very invested in helping me succeed and are extremely supportive. I couldn't do it without them <3 It is both very exciting and scary to be losing weight, especially after struggling for long.
Other exciting news. We're going out of town with some friends this weekend. Husband is celebrating his birthday and the rest of us need a mini vacation so we're packing up and taking a trip :D We've never taken a vacation aside from obligatory family visits across country so I'm excited! We've done mini road trips to concerts, but never a booked vacation for a whole weekend. I miss my puppy already, but I know she'll stay busy with her friend.
Updated photos, then I'm off! Sleep tight, world!
