Wearing a t-shirt and jeans, I almost felt sexy. I could suck in my gut and the only thing jutting out the shirt was the top part of me. Granted, it was an XL shirt well stretched out, and if I didn't actively suck in my gut, then my gut was well evident, but when I DID suck it in, I was downright sleek (ish).
And the other rather cool thing was that the other day when running an erand during lunch break, I found myself jogging. Yes, jogging! This was not any kind of quick clip or anything, but it was a "clip" nonetheless.
Later that day, I wondered just how far I could do that jog without thinking anything of it and I went pretty dang far - far enough to make me think that the idea of a 5K in a couple weeks was not out of the question (not a fast 5K, but one where the only thing I would have to do is just not walk).
My overall body, legs, butt, oomph is just better enough that doing things like breaking into a jog just spontaneously happens. It's rather fun.
But crazy enough, even after getting home from being out and feeling so good, I just want to eat. It's exhausting not eating. It's exhausting figuring out what to eat and trying not to eat too much too early. It's incredibly exhausting to go to the grocery store where I spend a crazy amount of time NOT picking out foods to put in my cart.
And then I read goofy things on the internet about how you should just splurge all out one day a week and I'm SO tempted, but something in me doesn't think that would be a good plan so I abstain, but it's hard and I get tired of using gum to get me off the "I want to eat something" mindset.
And I am trying out some meals and I am portioning things better and I am resigned to the process, but it sure is one slow process. (and fast from the outside looking in, but on the inside, it's slow)
And, admittedly, I am looking forward to my body being able to run easily or hike or just BE without aches and pains and groans so all is good and I'm looking forward to the scale tomorrow and I'm looking forward to continuing on till the next milestone.
