This morning I weighed in with a 50.4 pound loss. 2 months {and 2 days} after my life changing event.
50 pounds is a lot.
If say, I wanted to ship my lost 50 to my mom in Maine...I would have to spend the following...
Tue Jan 7, 2014 12:00 PMFedEx
Priority Overnight®245.36
Tue Jan 7, 2014 8:00 PMFedEx
Standard Overnight®239.53
Wed Jan 8, 2014 12:00 PMFedEx 2Day
AM®198.11
Wed Jan 8, 2014 8:00 PMFedEx 2Day®173.80
End of day(9 Business Days)FedEx
Home Delivery ®120.92
Now I'm pretty sure my Momma is trying to lose a few pounds of her own and would not want me to ship her my 50 lost pounds....
These are examples of the things I used to heft around daily:
- The largest bag of dog food
- A small bag of cement mix
- 200 dollars in Quarters
- 6 gallons of water
- a large cooler of beer and ice

NO wonder I was tired occasionally ALL.THE.TIME!!!!
NO wonder my feet hurt all the time. {Nary a foot pain recently.}
NO wonder I never wanted to do anything but sleep. {BTW I still love to sleep and occasionally catch up on a few several hours on the weekend, much to LOML's chagrin.}
NO wonder I had to nap everyday at lunchtime {still do sometimes.}
NO wonder shaving my legs was such a chore {there's a lotta leg there.}
NO wonder the thought of painting my own toenails was so daunting {couldn't see my toes - can now!}
NO wonder I wore Danskos all the time...no laces!!!! {I just bought a pair of New Balance sneakers...with shoelaces! Score!}
NO wonder I rarely wore jewelry - my neck, fingers, wrists were always too chubby for jewelry to feel comfortable. {I wear it almost daily now & I look GOOD :)}
NO wonder I was constantly irritated with everything {I still get irritated but now mostly on a monthly cycle :)}
The only thing I truly wonder about it is why the Holy Hell I waited so long to have it done.
I am happy. I am thinner. I am exactly 1/3 of the way to my goal.
Happy Nifty Fifty to me.
