One pound from my goal! Crazy scale; yesterday I weighed in at 138.3, today at 136 (twice, I checked).. Of course, my ultimate goal is to become healthy, comfortable and happy with my body as it is.
In the tub today, I looked down at the loose skin on my tummy, upper arms, and the tops of my thighs. I decided not to be grossed out by it; it's a part of me, part of my journey through life. I poked it, folded it, laughed at it. As hard as I work to firm up my body, this badge I've earned through life experience will be with me, (short of surgery that I can't afford). I'll be proud of it as a measure of how far I've come.
Beau is being entertained by Nutty Buddy; a squirrel that's been coming onto our deck to eat the peanuts I've been putting out (leftovers from last year's baking); NB likes walnuts too. Beau gets so excited. My partner has been delighted with NB's visits, too, as have I.
Time to pack up the cookies I baked last night and head off to the gym for two 1-hour exercise classes.
