Here I am again! Alive, and still kicking!
Actually, today I am having a super good day! I have been having a lot of those lately!
First of all, I woke up and stepped on the bathroom scale. I did a whoop and a holler and a happy dance! My daughter came running with concern. She thought perhaps I had slipped and fallen.
Nope. But another pound of fat has fallen away!
I have officially lost 15 pounds since I have been following the intermittent fasting way of life!
YAHOO!!
I weigh 180. At my heaviest, I was over 240 lbs! Not sure exactly because I avoided the scale in My BBW days.
My original goal weight was 139. My daughter says she needs to lose 15 pounds. Her goal weight is also 139. I think my daughter is highly competitive with me. She said 139 is too skinny for me! She said I should make a goal of 165. Then work on toning up at that weight and make a new goal if I am still too heavy.
So we both have to lose 15 pounds. And I think I am also competitive. So we are having a contest! The loser has to go to the mall with the winner, buy her a massage and watch Grace during her time of pampering.
I like those stakes!
I think elation kicks in after 18 hours of fasting. Either that or I am in manic phase. The truth is, I have always like my manic phase. Maybe it is just happiness, joy, relief. I am not sure. But I thought it best to record it. It is odd, I tend to not remember my manic times. Because I am usually mildly depressed.
So next time I am down, I hope I remember to go back and read about this super good day!
Today is also the day of my son's girlfriend's baby shower. I actually finished loom knitting two baby hats and three matching pairs of baby booties. Alas, I am at the library and didn't think to take pics. I will hopefully remember later.
I plan on making many more hats and socks. I think it is therapeutic for me. I pray with each stitch for the person I am creating for.
Perhaps this is why my mood is elevated. After all St. Paul does encourage us to "Pray without ceasing!" (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)
I will have to stop here. I am committed to daily blogging, so my blogs may be shorter. But I aspire to being a woman of my word!
I will talk to you tomorrow.
Blessings of Peace and Joy!
Love,
Zita
P.S. No hooping video today. But I walked a brisk 1/4 mile already!
Update: Got my hooping in - Day 147!
And here are hat and bootie pics for my new grandson!
