shrinking boobs and cat food tacos

hello everyone! and i do mean EVERYONE since now i have 14 followers. yay!!! thanks to stephanie for giving me a shout out. and hello to all my new blogger friends!

so what do i have to report today? well, let's see....

i've lost three more pounds since i weighed in at my dr's office on wednesday. better believe i was happy as heck when i saw those new numbers on the scale. like i said, it's like christmas when that happens! lol

i put on a pair of jeans today and they were actually comfortable. and you see, these were the jeans that i bought pre band because all my others were getting too tight. and even these were super tight. i had to use that perfect fit button (you know, that lovely as seen on tv thing) to actually have them be semi comfy pre band. i wore them to my last dinner out where we went to the golden corral buffet. halfway through the dinner though i was kicking myself in the arse for wearing the new jeans instead of some stretchy pants cuz it was really starting to hurt with them diggin into my belly. i almost changed pants in the restaurant bathroom... really considered... but refrained. anyway.... i put on those same pants today - minus the perfect fit button - and they fit nicely. not overly loose but not tight either. just right. and they only irritated a little at my port incision site since it's still sensitive.

then after dinner tonight (which i must tell you about as well) i put on a pair of workout pants that used to be pretty tight, too. guess what? not so tight! so i guess i'm starting to feel it in my clothes. woohoo!!!!

dinner... lemme tell you about dinner.... dinner was pureed taco meat with a little cheese in there and it was heavenly. heavenly. it literally looked like cat food (the 9 lives classic pate, if i'm correct lol) but it sure tasted like tacos! i have been wanting tacos for so long and this really hit the spot. i also ate three nacho cheese doritos with it as well. kim mentioned them in her blog and that made me realize that if she could eat them, then i prolly could, too. so i gave it a go. it was fine and so tasty.

oh... and i also wore a regular bra today for like the second time since surgery. i haven't been able to wear anything but tanks with built in bras because one of my incisions is right under and between my breasts and it hurt like hell to have a bra on. but i was able to wear one for a few hours today (that was all i could take) and i noticed that it's not fitting like it used to. unfortunately i think that means my boobs are shrinking. but on the upside my shrinking boobs mean that my body fat is going down so i'm trying to think about it positively. well, as much as one can be positive about her vanishing boobs.

my husband is adamant that my boobs must not disappear but i've told him it's prolly bound to happen. i told my sister and she said that if my boobs got too small i could always get a water bra. oh how exciting. let's go from d cups to water cups. but if i gotta choose between being the big girl with big boobs or being the average girl with average boobs, i'd rather be the latter, water bra and all. lol

i've been having to battle with myself all evening about food, too. i been wanting to go eat and i know i'm not hungry. it's mental. i do not FEEL hungry at all. i just THINK i am. i wanna TASTE. bad me! i keep telling myself NOOOOOO!!!!!!

i walked briskly for about 20 minutes this evening with the family and it was nice. i'm doing 15 minutes to start this week and then stepping it up to 20 min next week. then upping it by five each week til i get to 30 min everyday or five days a week. then once i get accustomed to that, i'll start trying out the couch to 5k thing.

well, i guess that's all i have to report. over and out!
