166!

That’s a two pound loss from last week. Even the girls from The Biggest Loser were averaging around a 2 pound loss last week. Throughout this whole process I’ve had a couple of weeks where I had a gain of around 2 pounds, a bunch of plateaus, but mostly I’ve consistently lost an average of 2 pounds per week. 2 pounds per week for the past six months, or so, is crazy to me. I can’t believe I’ve maintained this for so long. In the past, any time I’ve lost weight, I’ve done it real fast. I’ve also never had this amount to lose before. I can’t imagine the strain that put on my body. I wonder what my body is thinking even now. I don’t think losing large amounts of weight is something our bodies really want to do. (I’ll save that for another post. I also want to post about how I feel about The BL show and hair loss.)

When my weight was at 168, I kept saying 186. I’m so used to being a higher weight, that sounded more correct or something. It was screwing with my head a little. I’m happy that’s over. This is an area of the scale that I haven’t seen in a LONG time. I feel like I’ve gone back in time. Or this is a different life. It’s excellent and surreal.

I wasn’t able to work out too much this past week but I’ve been moving non-stop on my home improvement projects. I’m constantly sore because I’m using various muscles that I don’t usually and I’m quite exhausted so it must be great exercise. I love not having a sedentary life style right now. I wish I didn’t have to go back to work at a desk job. My dream would be to host a home improvement show where I participate and do a lot of the design and the implementation. Since that is kind of a pipedream my second choice is opening a hair salon with my sister. I really don’t want to go back on the computer 24x7.
