Over the past week I have had many flips. What's a flip? It's when something happens that makes you want to do a double triple fliple! Yes I made up a word. I like to do that. Lol. When something exciting happens I become a Olympic gold gymnastic star (in my head of course).
My first flip came last week when I went and called a patient who was there for her 6 week post partum appointment. As soon as she and her husband walked through the door he said "Congratulations!" I was confused because I should have been congratulating them on having their beautiful baby girl. Instead he was congratulating ME on my weight loss! I was so thankful that they had noticed! I was very proud that I made it to that 12 week point where other people start noticing. Hooooooray!!
My double flip came yesterday! I went into my closet and saw my goal capris laying on the floor. Last time I tried them on I could barely pull them up over my thighs/hips and I couldn't button them at all. Well yesterday I slipped those babies on and buttoned them!!! I ran out to the living room so excited to show Jason. He was so proud and Noelle said "you are getting skinny". I had the biggest smile on my face!! Now I couldn't keep the cute capris on because I may have been able to button them but I still had a muffin top! I tend to lean toward comfort and prefer no extra baggage coming along for the ride.
My triple flip came Monday when I spent the majority of the day with my sweet husband. Most of the day was spent at the VA but that time was spent just us talking, relaxing, and holding hands. When you have children your marriage is placed second to often. You need moments to just be. The evening was spent walking around the mall holding hands and a surprise purchase from my love. I got some rocking orange sunglasses!! Since I have lost the weight I feel much more attractive and that is due to the compliments from Jason. I love my marriage and feel so loved.
Onward to the flops. You know that moment when you jump off the high dive and belly flop smack into the water? That's how my flops feel. This week has been hard. I've been off work since Saturday and have been incredibly busy. Busy days mean poor eating decisions. I've not ate three times a day in several days. Breakfast has been later in the day so I will skip lunch or dinner. We are eating out more so I know the meals are packed full of calories. If I eat a high calorie meal I'm usually full for quite some time so I end up going to bed having not eaten. Once the clock hits 8 I try not to eat anything else. So I'm happy that I am observant of what I'm doing and am making decisions to help myself. I do however also know that I'm probably not eating enough. Things should get back to normal after tomorrow.
Enjoy those flipping moments and embrace the flopping moments!
Stay tuned for my Friday weigh in!!
