I've Been a Bad Blogger

I've been a bad blogger ::hangs head in shame:: -- I got so used to blogging about our infertility struggles, and now that we're putting our focus into something else, I've been bad about keeping the blog up to date. I'm going to make a conscious effort to blog at least once a week, if not more. It really is a good outlet for me, and who can't use a good outlet to get things out?


Weight Loss/Health Update

DH's weight loss has slowed down, as expected, but the last time I asked him, he has lost 25 pounds, and has another 15-20 more he wants to lose. He's now having some motivation issues where he's tired of counting calories and being "good" all the time. We talked about it last night, and he's come to the conclusion that he can relax a little bit on the diet. I think that's a good solution -- DH's trainer wanted him to count everything (protein, fats, carbohydrates) and I think was a little too strict with how much protein he expected DH to eat in one day. DH would have meals where he was just forcing food down, because he had to get a certain amount of protein in, and he wasn't even hungry. I told him all along that I thought his trainer was going a little TOO far with things (after all, DH is trying to get in shape and lose weight, NOT train for a marathon and become a personal trainer himself) and that he would get burned out. Well, it's happened, and now he's come to the same conclusion himself. So good for him -- I have the utmost confidence in him that he now knows what to eat, what to stay away from, and I'm of the mindset of "everything in moderation."

As for me, I've lost 13 pounds, and have another 22 or so that I think I'd like to lose. I have NO idea what I'm going to look like at that weight, but I've chosen a nice, healthy weight for my height (safely out of the "overweight" category which I'm currently in, and in the "normal" category). I'm a little nervous as to how I'll look once I've lost the additional weight, and if my boobs are going to ever get any smaller (I'm a D cup and a little nervous that I'm going to stay a D cup once I get thinner and look strange and out of proportion). I'm definitely noticing changes in my body, and in the way my clothes fit, and I'm already starting to fit into clothes that I haven't been able to wear in awhile. I got my first non-family weight loss compliment this week from a male coworker (THAT was a little creepy, I'm not going to lie, although it felt good that other people are starting to notice), and I'm definitely going to have to go shopping soon because the clothes that I've been wearing are starting to look kind of ridiculous on me.

Anyway, I'm excited and determined to keep it up! And determined to not let DH fall off the wagon, now that I think he's hit a bit of a plateau.
