Feeling Groovy

I feel GOOD today. Got dressed in the pinstripe pants that were so tight I had to stop wearing them a few years ago and they're baggy. So exciting. I have a habit of forgetting how far I've come and only looking at how far I have to go. Trying to change that. I was in the store the other day and walked down the petfood aisle just to pick up a 40 lb bag of dog food. Had to remind myself that I've been hauling that around on a daily basis for a while now. Now wonder I feel groovy.

My husband is happy with my weight loss, but there are aspects of the whole thing that bother him. Like now that I'm feeling better, I want to dance. He hates to dance. Before I was content to sit on the sofa every night and now I want to GO. And live. He's tired, and shy and not one for crowds. I'm ready to hit the dance clubs. I didn't realize how my life was truly effected by my weight. I've wanted to learn to kayak since I've moved to the Oregon Coast, but was afraid I wouldn't fit in that small opening. A few more pounds off and warmer weather and I'm going to go into Central Coast watersports and sign up for lessons. And hope I don't drown!

I'm working on the 50 lbs goal now. Have to decide what the reward will be. Maybe a new outfit from Coldwater Creek. They have an outlet mall in Newport. I can't wait till I can shop there and be able to choose from any of the clothing stores not just Lane Bryant.
