Mmmm Mmmm Tuna

Tuna and protein bars seem to be the main staple of my diet. And the cool thing is... I don't mind at all. Because tuna (why do I keep trying to type Tina instead? Do I want to serve my sister with chicken broth and spinache?) is so damn versatile and I've started making a fabulous Thai-curry tuna spinache soup thing that I adore.

Weight update... I'm at 259. Energy fabulous. My sides are a bit achey today and I can't figure out why... but I'm sure its nothing a good long session of yoga won't cure.

Falling Pants

Yes, its true. My pants are falling down. I was on the phone with Gail the other day, and mentioned that because I wear skirts most of the time, I haven't noticed any weightloss around my middle. The scale says I'm down to 275. And my feet are smaller, and I can wrap my hand around my wrist, and people at work say that my face looks thinner. BUT I want my belly to go poof, bye bye, see ya later. and it didn't seem to be changing at all.

So, today, because its the first day of tech. I decided to wear my old black jeans. These jeans used to be a little tight, and even when they weren't, my rolls of fat kinda skwooshed over the top of them. It was lovely. I put them on today, and they fell right off. I stopped, pulled them back up, and checked out how much bigger they were (smaller I am, whatever) and holy cow, I held them out away from me, and I swear there was at least 6-7 inches between them and me. So, I grabbed a shoelace and tied them on. Not tight enough evidently, because I'm at work, and they're still falling down a bit. Woo woo.

To those of you who want a picture. I have not yet found a digital camera, nor any means to post a picture once it is taken. Hopefully, when my dad gets here in October I'll have him take a picture, and use my computer back home to post it.

Meantime. I'll repeat my weight loss stats again. Cuz I love 'em so.

June 2, 2004 = 345 lbs
July 13, 2004 = 331 lbs (Day of Surgery)
September 1, 2004 = 275 lbs

Total lost since surgery, 56 lbs.
Total lost since 6/2/04, 70 lbs.

Yeeeee HAW!
