RHCD

While I haven’t been doing my normal exercising the last week today I made the choice and climbed 5 flights of stairs. May have been sucking wind but still did it,.

Got a couple more today. Had to go to a walk in clinic today got a skin infection thing... they didn’t have to go searching for the bigger BP cuff and just used the “normal one”. Doc even said after reviewing my vitals what not that I’m “really healthy”. I’m choosing to take that as positive and not a backhanded compliment.

Best NSV was the Mr giving me a big hug and saying he could reach around me more and this was now his favorite way to measure my progress.

Congrats on everyone for notifying NSV even if not posting.

I donated eight shopping carts of clothing to Goodwill.
Not bags - CARTS.

I’m in Eastern Europe at the moment and eating while a little challenging I’m happily finding food I can eat. I hate the look on wait staff’s faces when I only eat some but I’m doing what I need to.

My other NSV is I voluntarily put myself on the 5th floor as opposed to 2nd in a place with no elevators. I’m not dead yet but oh man am I feeling it by floor 5. I can’t image doing that 60 lbs ago...

This morning while buckling my shoes I noticed I only had 1 maybe two holes left compared to when I started this I had to pull down tight to get to the last one.

That’s doesn’t even factor in how much easier it is to bend over and buckle them...

I realized today I am fitting into a pair of one size fits most leggings. The NSV was super helpful as I’m in a very slow loss cycle.

Yep I was 1 week shy of my 41st.

Since I’m in a stall at the moment, I’m going to Celebrate a nsv from this weekend!
I was able to buy “normal” size clothes for the first time in I don’t know how long. I went on an Old Navy shopping spree fitting in to XL and XXL tops! 4 months ago I was wearing 2x and 3x!

About 5 months. Basically on my 4 month anniversary I had emergency gallbladder removal. By the time I was back to 100% in late month 5 I’d slowed way down. Don’t get me wrong I’m just at month 7 and still loosing but not like before. Much more intentional and obvious if I’m not on my food/hydration/exercise plan/goals. By no means am I perfect.

NSV's of the week:
I bought a little something fancy for my date night with the husband this weekend. I purchased an XL corset, and even with the laces tied as tightly as possible it was way to big. I know they say to size down, but never did that before. And the (regular women's) XL sized thigh highs were huge! I swear I could have fit both legs in them LOL. (That's the running, It is honestly like someone sliced my legs in half I've lost so much weight in them.)
Also this gal can wrap a regular sized towel around herself without ANY gap! It doesn't look like some risque lingerie playing peek-a-boo anymore!

This weekend at a party I was standing to wait for a friend of mine to move so I could pass her thinking there was no way I’d be able to get past them in the small space. Maybe 12-18” of space.

Another friend (who knows of my surgery) leaned in and said “RHCD you can fit thru there”. I told her nope I’m fine I’ll wait. Some how I eventually decided to give it a go and walked thru and didn’t bump anyone. Mind blown. Much cheering/fist bumps from friends.

So maybe physically smaller but mentally not there.

Bow ties are cool!!!

I just had a size 10 dress zip up on me. Still a little snug and will need some shape wear for the belly but holy hell it zipped. It’s for a wedding in January. The second look my Mr gave me was hysterical when I asked him if it looked okay to be his arm candy.

All needed because the scale I swear is stuck at 200.8-201.8... still

Thanks! The best part is I was always his arm candy even over 300 lbs. I’m incredibly fortunate on how awesome and supportive he is regardless of my body size. He’s also a big guy and on his own journey.
