Finger Flab

I've lost 52 pounds so far in this journey. As such, many things are different for me. This includes the clothes I fit into, of course. And the amount of food I consume. But also simple things like the depth and breadth of the cavity formed on my side of the bed, and how much water is required to fill my bubble bath.

But what, confoundingly, has not changed is the size of my fingers. They still look like 5 little stuffed sausages! And since I was around 3 months pregnant, my engagement ring will not come off. I'm happy it got stuck "on" and not "off" but I'm starting to feel claustrophobic. I cannot remove this sucker still, and I really, really want to clean the diamond. Which, by the way, is a Movado signature cut, 125 facet, NO CONFLICT 1.06c. beauty. Not that this important (but it so is!). Anyway, I'm befuddled because I weighed more than this the last time I was able to remove it.

If I'm being paranoid I'd say the fat has sort of "settled" into my fingers. And as most of you know it is NOT for a lack of typing. So...what the hell?

What do I do? Finger exercises? Typically in a normal day if I DO do finger exercises (such as, in traffic) it's not that finger, if you catch my drift. And with all this otherwise progress, what cruel twist is this that my hands look not unlike two inflated gloves? Sigh. I guess I'd rather have a smaller butt than smaller fingers but I'm ready for some more universal evidence of my toils. I'm ready for digit droppage people!

I've started therapy again; triggered by a strong desire to remain out of prison...for unspeakable actions toward one seriously wack-a-doo set of in-laws. I told myself I would not complain about them today. Therefore I will quietly mention that I had them all over for dinner tonight; a labor of love which I spent all day preparing. And I won't bore you with the details of how much work and creativity was involved except to mention that one dish involved a rosemary simple syrup and homemade olive oil corn cake. All foods, by the way, that I am unable to eat on my diet so it was exclusively for them.

So, I'm finally sitting down with them and watching everyone daintily pick around their plates wondering what on earth is wrong with my cooking. Then I found out that they all went and blew their appetites at the Red Robin burgers and fries before coming over. How do you head over to someone's house for dinner and manage to stop on the way for food?

It snowed today in Seattle and our neigborhood looks like some little winter chateau snow village. It's super cute, and seems so much quieter and peaceful somehow. I'ts been restorative and nice to be home but I find myself missing yoga. I haven't worked-out for too long (due to vacation and been so busy since returning). I'd like to try to go to yoga tomorrow. I want to try to be very disciplined for the next couple weeks so I can lost another 5 lbs before I see my family over xmas.

I'm wearing a size 12 now, but it's loose so I think soon I'll be back into a 10. I think that is only because sizes have gotten larger and larger or something. I used to have to be 20lbs lighter to wear a size 10. I don't know what's going on but either way it feels good to be able to find things to wear again, and I can't imagine what it is going to be like to buy 6's and 8's soon. Hopefully soon.

Cheers,

I am simply wasting away, people. Yes, it is with great relish that I FINALLY announce I am in the 100's again. Specifically,a dainty 199.2. Wooo Hoooo!

So what do you do when you go under 200? Have a party? Invite everyone? Put up a signature on your instant Messenger letting everyone know you're no longer as fat as before? Yeah, none of the above. It is one of those milestones that you don't really want to advertise I guess but at least I can tell my FS buddies because YOU will understand!

So, I don't know what on earth happened but today I got on the scale and was 3 lbs lighter. I actually rubbed my eyes and shook my head, thinking it couldn't be. Then, I weighed myself 3 more times just to make sure. AND--all of the sudden--I'm able to fit into about 5 pairs of my pre-pregnancy pants. And they're not like squeezed shut either -- I'm workin it! I simply don't know what to do with all this skinniness! lol


Now, if only I could lose 130 lbs of sister-in-law I'd be in business! Nah, just kidding. She has been really sweet since we returned. I think she realized she was over the top on the trip and now that we are all home and in our own homes the events of the trip seem far more distant and hilarious. Ahem. Almost.

Hope everyone else is doing fabulous!

PS - Lucybell and others, I will calculate and deliver on the exercise I owe you but I might have to make a couple installments. It took me a LOT longer to get under 200 than I hoped.
