Weight: 219
Loss to date: 65 pounds
Movement! Ladies and gentlemen, I am pleased to announce that I have lost a pound. (Actually 1.8, but I won't belabour the point.) I am OUT of the 220's and am mightily pleased by that fact. I have doctor's appointments looming on the horizon, I'm breathing more easily, and I am feeling gratified by my decreasing size. I am less thrilled with the slowdown in my loss, but I know that's just temporary. I'm ok with that. The keys will be to gradually increase my exercise again to rebuild to previous levels, and to maintain solid stoicism in the face of Lorraine's culinary appetites. These are the keys, my friends. Ah, and water. I have sometimes let it fall to 100 oz., and that's too little. 160 oz. and above -- this is ideal, I believe.
I'm getting lots of positive feedback on my loss at work lately -- which is so gratifying. I'm also noticing so many ways that just being and moving in this world is easier again.....as a former normal-weighted person, I just don't get how I let myself grow out of that comfort zone and into the realm of unwieldy, uncomfortable, out-of-size and place, and downright painful. It makes me sad. I know that my heart was sad and that must have blinded me to this way in which I was limiting and isolating myself from free movement within and about our world. I'm happy to return. It's good to be back. And on a side note: Hello, kneecaps -- nice to see you again!
About Me
- Sarah
- I'm a 43 year old, happily partnered lesbo. I was raised in downtown NYC in a commune, and the woman who raised me was the real Auntie Mame. I've lived also in Italy, India, and Ireland. By the time I was 10, I'd already lived with over 4,000 people. When I was 2 1/2, I drank oven cleaner. I didn't know I was gay until I was 26. My partner of over 9 years is one of the finest people I've ever known. She's from Brooklyn. I was treated for Stage IIIB Hodgkins Lymphoma, subtype Mixed Cellularity. First I did 6 months of ABVD chemo, and that secured a 14-month remission. My relapse was caught early and I went right into a stem cell transplant. The cancer had already returned when I had my 3-month post-transplant scans. There's no cure available to me at present, so I'm now entering a period of palliative care. We're hoping a Gemzar/Navelbine chemo combination will keep my cancer at bay for as long as 4 years -- that's the prayer. In the meantime, I am focused on savoring every moment....and maybe even losing a coupla pounds!

Not what I was searching for, but none the less and interesting blog here. Thanks for putting it up. I've enjoyed reading alot of the text here. I got you bookmarked for the future, I'll be back.
My site is a bit different, some think it's odd. I guess it's a matter how you look at it. I have a weight loss chart related site. Most of the articles are on weight loss chart.
