So today the husband got a great lead for a job. Not the best money, but great benefits and a set schedule. Guaranteed 40 hours a week and it would be a good foot in the door for a corrections officer position. That would be his ultimate goal. Say a little prayer that it will all work out the way it's supposed to! After 2 weeks of not working, he's going stir crazy and is starting to drive me crazy too! LOL The ex-wife is also driving me crazy, but I won't go into that right now...
I've been doing great. I'm down another 2lbs so far this week. I've hit the 6 month mark and am told that I should now be losing 8-12 lbs a month. Now is the time when I'm able to eat more than I was and am seeing the weight loss slow WWWAAAAAYYYY down. I'm also feeling a bit timid about eating more than I have been for fear that I will either gain weight or plateau at this weight. Don't get me wrong, I am very happy with loss that I have had, but need to lose more. I'm still about 50lbs from my goal weight. I have more energy now than I have had in a LONG time. For the first time in many years, I actually feel like I look somewhat decent. Not trying to sound conceited or egotistical, just saying that when you live in a body with 140lbs of extra weight, it feels good and gives your self-esteem a boost when you lose more than half of that.
On the downside of things, I'm noticing that I have considerable hair loss and am noticing the lose skin showing up. If anyone out there has any exercise tips to help with that, I'm listening! As far as the hair loss, I'm eating as much protein as I can with my fruit & veggies :) I've gotten AWESOME recipes and advise from a fellow blogger "TheWorldAccordingToEggface". I'm drinking a yummy protein shake now that I made from fresh strawberries and a banana. YUM! Don't forget to get your 80-100 grams of protein EVERY day!
Hope everyone else out there is doing well and life is treating you good. Again, any good exercise tips or protein recipes that could be shared are greatly appreciated!!
