Mine started with a fabulous race weekend spent with many of my favorite people. Route 66 was a brutally cold race but always fun when you have excellent company! Half #59 was survived! I then got to spend some wonderful days celebrating an early Thanksgiving and birthday with my Tulsa family! I love getting to see them! Thanksgiving was great and spent with the people I love dearly. It was followed up with an amazing birthday with my besties seeing Aladdin and eating yummy food. I am truly blessed to have the best people in my universe!!
I am incredibly proud of the fact that I ate a little of the things I wanted and left feeling satisfied but not stuffed I think this is the first Thanksgiving/birthday celebration that I didn't overindulge. I enjoyed myself! I even lost 2 pounds! Those 2 pounds brought me to 30 in 7 weeks! WHAT??? Apparently, my body wants all the weight off too! I know that this entire journey won't be easy or go smoothly all the time but I am going to rejoice in this little victory!
To celebrate this milestone (and my birthday) I bought a new dress or two. Many of you know how much I love LuLaRoe clothes. There is a dress in their collection that never fit. The zipper would not even come close to going up in the biggest size available. I used to look at them longingly and admire the cute silhouette AND the pockets. I was thrilled to realize I could now zip one up! Non-scale victories are the best!! It was warm enough today to wear one. I walked around swinging my hands in those pockets all day. Something about a skirt with pockets that turns you into a 5 year old girl!
I am a little concerned for next week. I came home from Tulsa starting to feel a bit off. Between the cold and the perfume smell of the hotel room, I was super wheezy. I spent all of Saturday enjoy the amazing weather and had the screen door open all day. Then on Sunday I really felt bad with tons of congestion and coughing. Last night I had a pretty bad asthma attack and started prednisone. I won't be on it long enough to really cause any real issue but who knows how my body will respond to being sick.
I took a photo at the 1-month mark and forgot to share it with all of you. I'm not sure if I forgot or I was scared to show it to my friends. I will take another one on Monday to document month 2. I wanted to be able to see the difference since when I look in the mirror I don't actually notice the changes. I failed at documenting with pictures or even weight updates the first time I went on this journey. I want to document and celebrate all the small things this time around.
