updates of all sorts

So just to clarify… I actually really do have an amazing and wonderful husband. I was just getting over-emotional (I over-analyze things all the time) and sort of went off the deep-end. Chris is extremely caring and loving, keeps me sane, supports me, and deals with me (which, for anyone who knows me in real life, is no small feat). And, typically, our marriage is very easy. Once in awhile, things get a little tough (hello, no marriage is perfect), and on those few occasions, this is the one place I come to vent. Of course as soon as things are good again I immediately regret having such a permanent record of how upset I was. Sigh.

Anyway, I don’t want anyone to think less of Chris because he truly is a wonderful person. He didn’t have great role-models in his parents growing up, and is still learning things that I just take for granted. He also still doesn’t really get how women think / react / etc. I’ve tried a couple times to get him to read “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus” with me, but he pretty much refuses. 😉 Sigh.

So anyway… I’ve lost 21.5 pounds! A lot of people have commented on it – apparently it’s pretty noticeable. I finally fit back into my normal wardrobe and my self-esteem is slowly increasing. Just 10 more pounds until goal weight! And honestly, I might keep going (could probably lose 20 more after that and still be healthy). Not at the accelerated pace I’m at now – likely would reduce my goal to 1 lb a week instead – because honestly I’m dealing with 1125 calories a day. And while that’s enough to not starve my body (if you eat the right things), it’s pretty difficult to find things that work, especially when I go out to lunch with friends.

Tuesday during work I was feeling pretty awful… just felt sick in general. I even ate a bowl of soup for lunch – and I never eat soup voluntarily. So I left work a bit early, came home, and took my temperature. 99.9. Ugggggh. I’ve been sick ever since. Feeling a lot better today, but it’s been a sucky couple of days.

That is all for now!
