Here's Looking at You (no, ME)

AJ is a sweetie.  He says that I am looking slimmer.  Which is a wonderful help. Especially since I've been feeling like crap these last few weeks.  I soldier on with my Pooning, and dammit, I'm not giving up on me.  Yet still, the weight loss has been very, very, very slow.  Sigh.

Tomorrow I have a Poon weigh in, with the real Dr Poon.  Nervous to see him as I've heard he's a bit of a harda**.  And with my weight today, at 210 lbs, on my scale, it doesn't look like I will have much, if any, on the Poon scale.  It's heartbreaking in a way because I am exercising and shoveling, I'm watching my counts and foods, yet my body is barely moving in size or weight.   Even AJ confirms I am doing well with the foods.  He can't understand why with all the exercising, walking and snow shoveling my body isn't smaller.  So it's just not me wondering.

Yesterday's snow was so much and heavy, my usual 1 1/2 hours of shoveling took me almost 3 hours!  That's in one round of shoveling in one day.  Usually when we get a lot I go out a few times to shovel.  The day before I went out twice (hence 2 x 1 1/2 hours that day).  I'm so glad for the sun and semi-warmth today!  Even if I'm feeling wiped and down again.  Also not sleeping well again. Makes me want to comfort by eating still - but I know that's not the answer.

When AJ went to the photography committee meeting he came home and told me that one of the women there was commenting that I was looking slimmer - that I had lost weight and looked good.  ðŸ˜Š  Then a few nights ago, when it was semi-warm out, around 9pm, I was walking Jax in my jammies (me in my jammies not him!) and a sweat jacket, when I saw our neighbour, Steve.  Steve said hi, and then said you've lost a lot of weight!  You look good.  Thanked him. 😊😊 My thought was, it's not that much yet, I still have another 30 - 50 pds to go....  Then I remembered I just need to learn to accept and be happy with the compliments.  Now, I wonder if my mother will notice....?

Today is 💕 Day.  AJ got me a card, and cards from the cats and dog. He's making dinner.  He also got me a two cat charm, Havanese Earrings, and a book called The Book of AWESOME.  Because I'm so AWESOME!   Did I tell you he's wonderful?  (He's AWESOME too)
