Weigh In

Well I have been in a funk the last week and a half. Don't know why just wondering why I am doing all that I am doing to lose this weight...then I remember it's for me.

Well I think my funk could also be related to the relationship with my friend. We hadn't talked in over two weeks. We could pass each other in the hall at work (knowing we saw each other) and not speak. I hated that we had gotten to that point. I had started not talking to him because I didn't want him to think I was chasing him (which I'm not). But as the weeks wore on I realized that I missed my friend. I missed being able to bullshit with him and just be myself around him. Because we weren't speaking there was tension in the room whenever we were in the same room.

I decided this past week that I was changing that. I went and talked to him and told him that I hated that we weren't even talking to each other (even over work related stuff). I told him that I missed my friend and that missed being able to just chat with him and told him that I wanted to fix the friendship. Well we are now speaking which is a good thing. 

On Thursday, I went outside to watch a kickball game between the kids at work and ended up playing with them. It was pretty fun...first time I had played kickball in a couple of years. Since I have been walking, playing kickball was not a big deal. The girls won the game. I hope to play with the again soon.

I forgot to weigh in on Thursday so I did it today. So here are my numbers:
     Weight: 246....down 2 more pounds
I also was measured on Friday and here are those numbers:
     Chest: 47.5...same as last time
     Waist: 44....down 3 inches
     Hips: 55...down 2 inches
So even though the pounds were not that great the inches made my day. I had several good compliments this week on my weight loss which also made my week. I sometimes think...why am I doing this...then I remember why...FOR ME!

Found this great quote today and think I will share it with you guys.
