Honestly, I sort of expected today to suck. I was not looking forward to getting back to work, and it caused me to have a rather lazy and apathetic morning. I got dressed bare-bones today: no earrings, no bangles, nothing. So you can imagine that the last thing I was expecting from today was "Big Reveal" day where every conversation went something like this:
"Oh my God! How much weight have you lost?"
"Wow! You look great! What have you been doing?"
"Can I come to Jazzercise? I want to start coming to Jazzercise!"
Seriously, it was this surreal, spectacular day. This would have already been enough, but when I got home after working out, I had one final surprise: the 50 pound mark. (60, really, from the pre-blog starvation week.) It's as if all of a sudden I can look in the mirror and see not just who I am, but who I am becoming.
Forget Jazzercise. Today, I could fly.
Breakfast – a latte
Lunch – necessity is the mother of invention. I realized I didn't have lunch around the same time I realized I really wanted a cup of coffee. I realized I had an Atkins shake in the fridge and behold: the birth of the protein vanilla latte.
Dinner – six Buffalo Wild Wings with celery and blue cheese
Exercise – Maureen was back at Jazzercise today. She definitely makes sure we get a real workout – I thought I might die before we were finished. And for that, I thank her.
