Mental Changes

Often when someone loses weight they will be asked if their personality, etc. changed at all. I have noticed in my "almost" one month out that I feel a lot more confident. For about the past ten years I really did "let myself go" and was in a lot of denial. I quit weighing myself regularly, I know I had not used a measuring tape in a decade and I ran past mirrors. I just refused to look in the mirror when getting dressed, out of the shower, etc. Out of sight, out of mind. Now I'm at the other extreme. I look and analyze constantly. The good news is that I don't terribly hate what I see. I see lots of room for improvement but I'm very optimistic.

I do have to laugh on taking my measurements. Being 50 and having had 2 children...when I measure my breasts, the front is in one location and the back is a few inches higher. That wasn't such an issue over a decade ago when I last took my measurements.

Today was my mammogram day, which I had at a wonderful health & wellness facility nearby. They have a gorgeous fitness center on site, so I took the time to visit. Lots of fun classes including Zumba, Spin and something called "Sizzle & Chizzle". Meanwhile, when I go to my surgeon in July he is supposed to release me to exercise and then I have a two month free membership for myself and a guest at a facility a little over an hour away. I will probably use that for the rest of the summer. As a teacher I'm home and can justify making the drive a few times a week to get into the swing of exercise. Plus, I get 8 visits FREE with a personal trainer. After that two months is up, I will look into the local facility. I'm getting excited to exercise. That is a big improvement. Plus the local facility has a phenomenal spa!!!

A little humor for the week:

One day, a man came home and was greeted by his wife dressed ina very Sexy nightie 'Tie me up,' she purred, 'and you can do anythingyou want.' So he tied her up and went golfing.
