Withering away.....

well not exactly. But I a have officially lost 44 pounds since last summer. I remember the first 5 pounds and how hard it was to fathom losing more. I had never weighed as much in my entire life. Looking back I can honestly tell that my marriage was contributing to my health~body and soul. Although I was with a man that admired my every curve no matter what size I was, I couldn't stand it. However my weight was a product of a very unhappy life. I have always had an athletic build and struggled to be the "right' weight. Not the right size, but weight. It would never matter that I was 5'7 and a average size, I always focused on the weight. So now in refocusing I not only acknowledge that I have lost 44 pounds, but that I have shed 8 inches from each of the following areas- waist, hips and chest. WOW. I am really starting to feel comfortable in my skin again. This is just so freeing I cannot explain it. The most Amazing part is that I really enjoy exercising everyday. I take advantage of the gym at work, since in my life there is NO other time. There are NO excuses for not exercising.
But on the down side......went to the doctor today because I hurt my hip about a month ago. Something to do with repetitious skateboard riding (hehehe). To sum it up, ice packs twice a day, ibuprofen, stretches twice daily and no riding until it heals. Nice. Since I really want to play ball this season I am going to put the board on the back burner and recover. Running the bases in the sun is so worth it. Love the sun.

Well I am gonna jam and see if I cant figure out how to load a pic on here.
