Feelin' Greaty Cuz I Lost Eighty!

Yeah, baby! This feels goooood. The 100-pound mark is within my sights, and I likey! My body is really changing - I should take my measurements again, and my swimsuit photos. Oops, I haven't taken them for the last two months, since the kids were with my ex on my anniversary date two months ago, and last month I didn't want to subject Kim or her husband, Insanity, to taking them. Then I never got around to taking them at all. But now it will be fun to see how much I've changed! I'm really seeing it in my upper body: collarbones, neck, shoulders, etc. Today I had a nasty, nasty root canal appointment, and I'm home now with the babysitter and kids. When I walked in, our babysitter said right off the bat, "Wow, you are looking skinny!" and the kids all agreed. I feel it, too. There have been a few times during this weight loss process where my body just noticeably changes in a short time, and happily, this is one of those times!

I stopped at Nordy's and bought a couple new bras, too. I noticed in recent pictures that my rather substantial breasts were flumping off to the side again. I want the girls high and tight! I wish I were a lady of luxury who could buy lots and lots of new clothes and bras, it is such a nice feeling. I'm a 38G now - my last bra was a 40G and it doesn't seem like all that long ago that I bought it. I had a moment where I was torn between frugality and vanity: in another brand, I was a 36G, but the one I bought was a 38G...buy the smaller size for more money? Tempting, tempting. :) Funny how my mind works! I went for the cheaper one in a brand that I always love (Wacoal?).

Ah, I think that's all I've got for right now. It is a good day, despite the two-hour root canal. Now I will take a nap and let the anesthesia wear off. Oh! When I was on the nitrous gas, I had a moment that just cracked me up - I kept thinking about what a circular question and answer this was. I am easily amused. I should also point out that I have no nerves about going to the dentist, but after having my children (all drug-free births) I decided that I would be a fool to turn down a legal high, so I get the nitrous whenever possible. (Sometimes when I write this blog, I think about sending myself to some sort of 12-step program, haha!)

Anyway - I was on the gas and had received the shots to numb my mouth. "How's that numbing," the hygienist asked.

"I'm definitely feeling it," I said.

We both kind of paused, then started laughing. I was stoned, so I laughed a little harder, haha. "Definitely feeling it," wasn't really answering the question too well - was I feeling numb, or still feeling sensation? She rephrased the question. "Are you numb?"

I think you had to be there. :) But it was funny. And if I could carry around a cannister of nitrous, I would, and I would recommend it for all of us, too. Now, where is that 12-step meeting?

Edited to add: I am still having trouble commenting on a lot of blogs. It is driving me a little batty. Ordinary Girl Starts Extraordinary Journey, Manda's Life, Waning Woman, today I have tried like everything to comment on your recent posts, to no avail. :( If I follow your blog, I do read them and love them, but the commenting problems have pretty much turned me off from making many comments. I wish blogger would fix it. :(
