Wait..Weight..

While in Florida this summer I started walking everywhere. Anna and I also rode our bikes a few times. I gotta say the bike riding part really sucked. It hurt my behind so much that I rode home from each of our rides peddling while standing..But the walking was nice. I got to sweat out my toxins, and felt less inclined to kill chocolate bars all afternoon. And then I noticed that I had lost about 15 pounds by the time I came home. And then, I had to walk the dog every day and I lost more weight..And I went to the doctor to re-up my meds, and I found out that I have lost another few pounds. To be more precise, I have lost nearly 60 pounds in the three years since my hysterectomy. Most all of it since July..And hey, I am not complaining, but I continue to lose weight. I am now wearing a size 1o pants and even my fingers and feet have shrunk..I would be worried, but I feel just fine. The only thing that is different is the extreme stress that we are under at school. I am so anxious at night that I am taking both melatonin and tylenol pm to sleep. If not, I would stare at my ceiling thinking about all of the things I am not finished with at school.. We are leaving for Manhattan tomorrow night. It's the 10th anniversary of me going..I used to go with my "idiot X-husband". We would drive up after he got off of work in the evening, sleep in the car and then spend the day in the city, then come home later in the day. It feels really good to actually stay a few days and obviously to stay in a hotel.I am not up for the car camping thing anymore! This year I am driving. Yes, me. But since we leave tomorrow, I have plenty of time to get there without feeling rushed! We did the color run at Church last weekend. The girlz had a blast and I enjoyed spraying them with loads of colorful powder!! >
