I did it!!! Met my first goal, plus 1 pound! 31 pounds... If I felt better, I would be bouncing off the walls! *smiles* As it stands, I am sedately pleased and ready to set my next goal and work hard to achieve it. I really wish I felt better....I should be so much more excited than I am...*Sighs*  Well maybe in a couple of days....

1.5 pounds til I hit my first goal!  I am now Pre-Michael weight. YES! I am able to get into a lovely red lacy, satiny negligee that I had before I met Michael. I was never able to wear it during our marriage (Not that it would have made any difference, but that is another story…no…wait…It is all in the past and has absolutely NO bearing my life now…it is forgotten). In any event, the numbers and inches keep melting away. My sister isn’t going to recognize me.(well, of course she will but you know what I mean! *giggles*)

*GRINS* October is going to be such rush. I tried my garb on and it is TOO big…well, my skirts are falling off my hips and my bodice wants to over lap from the bottom to about half way up. It still supports my girls, but I can breathe easily…*LOL* Anyone who knows anything about bodices, knows that is not necessarily a good thing. My chemises I am not too worried about since I wear them under everything, so I am good there for the time being.

Yep, I Rock!

Brightest Blessings,

I hit 25
pounds today! I was so jazzed! I couldn't stop grinning and dancing all
day! I know that there are better ways of reckoning weight loss, but
there is something so satisfying seeing those numbers creep down. I
LOVE the fact my clothes are too big for me and I am just about ready
to go try on my faire garb and see how loose it all is!  *LOL*

I
keep seeing myself in October going to my local Renaissance Faire and
seeing my faire family for the first time in a year. *GRINS* I can't
wait to see my ex-husband's face, when he sees me for the first time...
and my bards...and all my family. THIS is what I picture when I am
walking for an hour on my treadmill...me in brand new Garb, with my
hair longer, walking around faire as if I owned it. 

I
know, that sounds awful, but my sense of myself has grown, and I no
longer walk around with my head bent down, staring at the sidewalk. I
face life head on now! Head held high and usually with a smile on my
face.  I love who I am and who I am becoming, and that is something I
NEVER thought I would hear myself say.

It
is not just the weight loss, mind you...that is actually gravy. This
has been coming since long before my divorce. All the experiences I
have had over the past 12 years have led me to where I am now,
including the gift of my marriage and divorce. 

Wow, if I am this giddy at 25 pounds, I cannot WAIT to see me at 50! *grins* 

Love, Light and Laughter,
Amethyst
