Today I hit -50!! This is a pretty big milestone for me. Fifty pounds lost since October 12, 2010, so just a hair over 3 months! Hoot! I have 58 more pounds to go to hit my goal weight, which is the “fake” weight on my Illinois Driver’s license (thank you Texas for not putting our weight on our drivers’ license!) and 78 pounds to hit my “stretch” goal, which is the real original weight on my DL.
When I hit my goal weight, I am getting myself a new tattoo. Don’t know what or where yet, but I do know that is my gift to myself.
Today isn’t the best of days though; my tummy really hurts today, as it has for about a month now. I don’t think it has anything to do with the surgery, but about everything else that goes into being Lucy. I think I’m worrying too much about things, and stressing about things out of my control. I need to learn to let go, which has been a work in progress, and I will say that the meds help with this, but there are still some things that are easier said than done.
One thing that I have discovered about myself during this process is that I am caring more about my overall appearance, such as nails, make up, skin care and such. As I have said before, I’m on the lookout for a new haircut, and my friend Tesa has started doing my nails for me every couple of weeks with this cool shellac stuff and man o man does it last, it’s wonderful! If it wasn’t for my nails growing, it would last a good month with no chips or wear, plus it’s o so shiny! I just need to find a good solid cleanser for my skin and a nice fake tanner, because my legs, ooooh weee… they need some sun, or at least some fake sun!!!
I watched the golden globes last night, and all I can say is that I want to be British! LOL! Ricky Gervais was hilarious in my opinion, and I was also able to make my list of must see movies… that’s one of the things I love about this time of year… first up on the list is the Social network. Which I have wanted to see since it came out, but just never made it.
Katie goes back to the doctor next week to find out about her blood pressure, then in 4 weeks we will get to find out the sex of the baby – I can’t believe that there is going to be another baby in the house. We are hoping she is having a girl (at least that’s what grandma is hoping for!!!) Marquis said that he wants a little sister, so that would be lovely if she has a girl.
Sarah will be getting her braces off in a couple of months, then she will be turning 16! I can’t believe my baby will be 16! Then of all things, she is getting her license…. Holy cow! I was speaking to her this morning about college and if her plans are still to try to get to Arizona, but she’s not sure… she’s actually thinking about the Air Force, which I think is a great idea.
Marquis is getting ready to grow – he’s eating us out of house and home. This kid is so funny – the expressions he makes, omg, keeps Katie and me laughing all the time! He’s just hilarious and he’s getting so big! He’s 4 going on 20, I swear!
It’s all quiet on the dating front… and I’m ok with that… when it’s time, it will happen, can’t lie, hope it does soon, but if not, oh well
Well, I am ramblin’ on, so I guess I will stop…..
Later pholks
