Dropping Sizes and Shedding Pounds

I'm really starting to wonder how much weight I'm going to lose overall. I'm still losing weight. I'm losing around 15 lbs. a month right now... and this is pre-op. I know that it will level off if I don't have the surgery, which is why I'm going to still have the surgery. But, I'm literally starting to see my body change before my eyes... my thighs and calves are getting smaller, I basically don't have a butt anymore, which is a good thing. My boobs, sadly, have not gotten smaller (sorry if that's a TMI, but, I'm a very large busted lady, and if they don't get smaller, I'm going to have some serious back problems), but for now that's ok. So, it's amazing to literally start watch your body shrinking before your eyes.

I finally have come to the realization that I need new pants. My work pants (size 26/28) are almost falling off my butt, and when I was doing my walks this weekend, I had to keep pulling up my shorts. My husband and I went to Goodwill over the weekend. We got several pairs of jeans and work slacks in 18/20, but, I'm about 1-2 sizes off that yet. So, these need to hold out for just a bit yet. :/ My shirts are starting to get a bit loose, but, I can hold off on those for a while. My bras are ok too, because I have several of my smaller bras, which I'm on the loosest hook for. So, I'm good for a bit on those. Clothes are going to be a big expense when I have to buy a whole new wardrobe. Not going to lie, I've already done some looking, and have a whole Wishlist of fun clothes on Amazon for when I'm in maintenance phase (a year or so post-op). :)

This weekend, I did two really fun things. I was craving pancakes again, and since I had purchased some SF Maple Syrup (Log Cabin Brand is my favorite brand of not-real maple syrup, and that's what I've got), and I had some Light I Can't Believe It's Not Butter, I decided to play. I made my normal Vanilla Protein Crepes, but, I added 1 tbsp. Cinnamon to it. OMG. Tastes JUST like French Toast when you add the butter and syrup. It's amazing. Next time I make it, I'll take a picture and post it. :)

The other really cool thing I did this weekend? I decided to up my walking workout game. I came to the realization that I'm signed up for a six mile walk in a few months, and I was only doing a one mile walk each morning on the weekends! Yikes! If I was going to get through that six miles, I was going to need to start walking more. So, I doubled my walk. I did two miles instead of just one. I was feeling pretty freaking proud of myself, honestly. I was actually going to push through for a third mile on Sunday, but my Little Miss (whom I call my coach), decided she was done sitting in her stroller. So, we went home. I was sweaty, and hot, and still took a pic with her, because I was so proud of myself. And now, my body is mad at me, because I didn't stretch when I was done, and it's not used to walking for that long at that pace. Oops. Oh well, it'll get over it. So, how are you guys? Miss me? :)
