Week 10, 11 & 12- 13 pounds gone

Hi Everyone
Boy have I been neglecting this blog. It isn't because I didn't get back on track, because I did. As you can see by the title I have lost an additional 13 pounds in 3 weeks. I have now lost a total of 47 pounds in 3 months. The weight loss is fantastic but even better are the non weight loss victories.

During the 10th week I was sitting in my recliner chair and I looked down at my legs and my ankles were crossed. It has been years, (so many I can't even remember when) since I was last able to cross my ankles. What a grand feeling that was that week. But the 11th week I had an even better victory. I was sitting on my bed with my legs out straight on the bed. I was putting my daily lotion on my feet. This is quite a chore as I can only reach my left foot with my hands. In order to get the lotion on my right foot I have to put lotion on the left feet and rub the left foot over and around the right foot. Well I guess I should have used the word had to. That is correct I applied lotion to my right foot with my hand. I had just finished the left foot and had an excess amount of lotion on my hand and the next thing I know my hand is appling the lotion all over my right foot including the bottom. WOOHOO! Now that is a victory I am so proud of. This past week no victory other than weight loss of 3 pounds. Believe me I am pleased with that victory but the non weight loss ones are the best.

Now I have started my 13 week and my monthly NS food should be sent Monday and hopefully I will get it by Thursday. I sure hope my 30 and 40 pound bears are in the package. Pounds and committment are getting bored with each other and need some new play mates. I look forward to getting to know the names of the next two. Silly little bears but they do mean a lot. Well until next week stay happy and healthy everyone.
