Hey, I am back. I did better than the worst I could do, and worse than the best I could do, but I had a great time, a great Easter, a great visit with mom and am super jazzed about being back at home and ready to get into it all again. I did walk alot (while shopping) and the weather was bee-u-tee-ful, but of course it is dreery back in DC. I have been reading the blog while away and keeping up with both of you.
Cat - you were talking about skin issues. I am having them too. The sore that was on my stomach is back now (maybe it didn't like the 7.5 hour drive?) and while at mom's, I had a good look at my (shrinking) stomach in her big bathroom mirror (under unflattering flourescent lights!) Anyway, the skin on my stomach is strange looking now. It isn't springing abck into shape as I lose weight, it is getting all wrinkly and funking looking. It made me think "why am i losing weight to look deformed?" It is something I am going to have to deal with, though. After baby, I don't think my skin is going to go back to the way it was.
It started me thinking about the things I will miss about being chubby. Like my face. I like my soft full face, I have gotten used to it after years of seeing it in the mirror this way. Seeing cheekbones is a bit disturbing - it doens't look like my face anymore. Am I going to like the way the skinnier girl looks? I am so cute now...
Anyway, gotta run and unpack and go to the market. Glad to be back and to be back "in it".
