WEEKLY WEIGH IN!

Today is my 32nd Birthday...The first birthday that will be without my sweet mom...This is really hard for me as she would always ensure that I had a good day...My father in law is taking us out to a restaurant in Hoboken so hopefully I will be able to enjoy the day...My mom used to call it "my baby's day!" It is amazing how no matter my age, she always called me baby! I miss her so much it really does hurt...

I weighed myself this week and I have lost .8 pounds(.36 kilograms)for a total of 36.8 pounds (16.7 kilograms) in 11 weeks. This is NOT the Birthday Weight Loss Gift I was hoping for, however, I am still very happy with my weight loss totals thus far. There has been just one other time where in one week I lost less than a pound, and that was due to me not meeting my protein and water requirements. I already know that since I ate ut a lot this past week, that this is indeed a possibility. So we shall see for next tuesday what happens! I wore a pair of shorts the other day that I have not been able to wear let alone get past my hips for two summers! Oh and I went for a haircut this week and my stylist said that normally when I sit in the chair, she cannot see over my head but today she was able to..this indicates that my ass has indeed DEFLATED!!! LOL hey I can take joy in these little things! Oh I have been getting MANY compliments at work from people who really have not known me long but say that I am shrinking before their eyes! I think they notice how baggy my clothes are..I am about 3 weeks away from looking like a complete frump and will be in need of a few staple pieces...

Let's see, I went back to work last week and I was greeted to the most lovely welcome back party by some of the students. One of these young lads decided to take his pants off, not once, not twice, but three times! In addition he had his hands down his pants and he used his fingers and arm to simulate both a white man's and a black man's penis...Oh I am not done, THEN he decided to win an OSCAR for his portrayal of "Young Teen In Heat!" He simulated masturbation, complete with sound effects and escalating emotion..Yep, I am not exaggerating in the least..this was my welcome back party...fun right? I had to go to the police and file a report...very nice!

What else happened this week? Oh I went back to the gym for a KICK-ASS spin class...Everytime I finished this 60 minute class, I thank the Lord for giving me the strength! I also cannot help but feel a bit proud at the fact that even at my heaviest weight, I attended this class...I have been working out for quiet some time and I am looking forward to meeting my thin self so I can truly get that "high" that my thin friends "claim" exists after a work-out!

I have been spending lots of time with dad. He is very devastated and I really do not know how to help him as it is literally IMPOSSIBLE for me to be with him 24/7..Please keep us all in your prayers...Thanks for reading!
