10 minutes later on sunday

I figured I would do a seperate post for my food/exercise stuff. When I went to the doctor on friday iw as only down 5 pounds from where i started there but i was fully dressed and had already had coffee and whatever. who know. i am losing - that is what counts. i only have to lose 7 more pounds, according to their scale, to qualify for surgery so whatev. that'll be done in the next 2 weeks, i am sure.

i have started doing more on the treadmill - my body got used to anythign less than 3.5 incline and 2.8 mph. It's weird - I staretd at no incline and only 2.5mph tops. It's exciting to see me gaining stamina. I mean, I amonly down like 8 pounds but I have already made myself healthier. Pretty friggin' cool. I am starting to see the health benefits this is all going to have for me. That makes me excited. I did an hour at anywhere from 3.5incline/3.0mph to 2.0incline/2.0mph at the end. i walked while i watched the rest of thw royal tennenbaums that I started watching while i went to sleep last night (thx for my dvd players andrea!!!!!!!!) and I managed to burn 350 calories or soemthign liek that. Not a bad Sunday activity.

I want some appearance benefits too. I feel like I looked int hemirror the other day and my face looked a tiny bit thinner but who knows. It could have just been one of those days when I was lookin at myself at the perfect angle and could see what I really look like below all of this. I can't wait to start seeing myself for real. I can't wait to look in the mirror and smile at what I see everytime.

Coming up this week - ultrasounds on wednesday, nutrition group wednesday, individual nutritionist appt. on Thursday. My boss is in hawaii from this wednesday until next wednesday - that will be nice. I intend to be in a daze for most of the week thinking about people who amaze you. It's been the topic of the weekend for me, pretty much. Ooh! I think I get to meet Allison's Patty this week too. Yay!!!! Get ready for September, people.
