My god it was good to see Keith today! While there are some weird things going on lately, so I wasn't sure about the whole weight-loss for this week, but after having a chat, stepping on and having a different weight used I was told that I was down......4.25 pounds! *take a moment for the crowd to simmer* Not only did I finally hit my first goal of 40, I was one freaking pound over! There are no words that can describe how good that feels. 41 pounds down and gone forever.

Being the sweetheart that Meghan is, she said that you can really see it in my face and asked if I noticed a difference. Like I told her, I do see it in my face and I notice a difference in how I feel, but when it comes to my body when I look in the mirror I am still seeing the larger version of myself at my heaviest. I'm sure with time though, my image of myself with catch up with how I am feeling.
The last couple of workouts I've done in the last few days have been so freaking good. There is a little extra driving force there that moves me faster, stronger and harder. I'll take all the extra drive I can get right at the moment and if anyone wants to go for a walk please feel free to call or message me. The majority of the time I am available unless I'm already out exercising (I don't keep my cell on me when I do. Thats my me time.)
This afternoon was concluded with having lunch out with Av at...wait for it...Zellers! I know some may be skeptical, but, it was great! I'm not sure if it was the old person in me or the health smart symbol next to the fancy named Tuna melt but thats what drew my attention and was selected. Instead of regular fries though, I did ask for the sweet potato which comes with their "signature sauce". Just encase you are wondering though I only had a small amount because.... it's mayo and ketchup mixed together. This is at least the conclusion that Av and I both came to. Sorta a bit ew when you think about it, but it didn't taste like porcupine pie or anything.
All my works caught up and I've done what I needed to accomplish, so I think I'll have a small snooze and then hit the books again after Trev and I get home from our usual date night. Not sure what he has planned but hopefully the sun comes out.
Tomorrow morning I'll be heading to see my doctor to get a shot to protect against Rubella. The man is brilliant and is always thinking ahead and doesn't want me to perhaps contract something that is preventable now and not someday when I am pregnant. Still no word on when I will have the MRI for my brain scheduled but if my head explodes before then, it was meant to be. I'm sure everythings hunky dory, we'll just look around to make sure and I'd prefer it done with images and not a knife. Snappy Snappy, no Cutty Cutty.
Thanks to everyone for their supportive messages this morning/afternoon/always. Heres hoping we keep heading in the right direction with no back peddling.
I hope everyone else is keeping healthy, happy and beautiful.
Enthusiastically,
Gillian
