50 Pounds...GONE!!!

I stepped on the scale today thinking that I would still have another week until I lost 50 pounds, but today I discovered that I had lost 50 pounds exactly. I was so excited. It was awesome.

30 more to go! I'm so getting to goal this time.

The Stairs

Yes. Yes, I did just walk down 4 flights of stairs and back up because I was bored at work.

You're probably saying, "Why?," and I'm just thinking, "Why not?"

And Another Thing...

...don't expect me to have detailed information when the only thing I know is that an event is actually taking place.

If you're not my boss...

...don't call me and tell me what to do. Especially if it has never been my responsibility.

I just wanted to say that. For what it's worth.

Beautiful

As I was walking to my car this morning after leaving the gym, there was a nice breeze going and I thought of the song "Oh What a Beautiful Morning." I love mornings like that. I don't know if I ever feel better all day than when I leave the gym after a good morning workout.

When I was walking to the office this morning from the metro, my thumb was going across the callouses on the palm of my hand. That's the other thing that reminds me of beautiful. My rough callouses remind me of the effort that went into getting them, and that makes me happy.

Beautiful mornings and beautiful callouses are worth a lot to me.


PS...Sorry I haven't posted anything in a while. I will do better.

Look out of any window...

...in Washington, DC, and you will notice the thunderstorm that began right at 4:55 as everybody was just about to wrap things up at work. I looked out my window just to make sure I was hearing a massive downpour, and noticed one person in the building across from mine doing the exact same thing.

What can I say? Some days you are watching the clock more than others.

As I get skinnier...

...I become much less willing to wear clothes that don't fit well. Anything that is too baggy or makes me look bigger than I am ends up on one side of my room and the things that fit end up on the other. I just feel more confident wearing clothes that fit nicely. And I'm kind of loving the more defined waistline.

I still have a ways to go, but everything is already awesome.
