Good morning! I had a wonderful week with lots of time with friends, getting back into some of the volunteer work that I love. I finally feel *well* enough to get out and devote my energy to more! I guess at 250+ pounds it is just too exhausting to move much, to be honest. I always felt like I was lugging around a couple of suitcases full of rocks, huffing and puffing and wishing I could just sit down and rest most of the time. It was hard. Not as hard as 280+, but way, way harder than now. I am over 200 pounds but still, I feel light on my feet and able to fly up and down stairs with no thought, able to stay on my feet for longer without pain, and able to just be active without always thinking I need a break. This past week I spent a few hours working with dogs and in shelters, going to volunteer meetings, and helping with a new member Bible study group for church. I feel like a better person because of it and love meeting new people!
This week I am down another 3 pounds to 209. I am very excited about that! I've been sorting and donating clothes and have more and more options in the way of jeans and shirts to wear. I had fun this week cooking and baking for myself and my family. I'm learning to enjoy cooking things that I am not going to eat (by choice, because they are higher carb) and when I feel like it, making smaller portions of sugar free or low carb substitutes for myself.
If you missed the comparison photos I put up last week, you can see them here: Pictures: July and today. When I hit 208 pounds I'll do my formal update pics and measurements, but for now, here's a graph of my weight loss on phentermine from the end of August until now.
Catch you later!
