Cleaning with Lisa
Today I got to spend time with my friend Lisa as she cleaned the daycare she is responsible for. She works for a church and does all the maintenance for them. She just got engaged, and I met her fiance for the first time today. He seems really nice. I'm glad, because she deserves a great guy. I got to see her ring.. it's so pretty! I love my ring more, though. I might have to get a new one if possible... I'm missing a stone on the side and it's been stretched and then shrunk again with my weight. I don't think it can take another shrinkage. It's not that loose yet, but I'm not planning on stopping my weight loss here. I'm down to 212.6 pounds. I hope to be lower tomorrow.
I'm annoyed by my measurements. I lost 0.5 inches on my neck and another 0.5 inches off my waist, but my hips *grew* another half inch. I don't know what's going on with that. I guess that's where all the fat that was stored when I gain weight, then lose weight over my waist. It sucks. oh well.

Sounds like you had a good day out with your friend. Maybe one of your goals for when you reach your goal wt you could reward yourself with getting your ring fixed... not sure if a jewler could resize it for you? Or maybe take the stones out of it and put it in a new ring? You are doing so good at sticking to your continued wt loss! WTG
I had the same thoughts as Good2Go - the ring would be a great reward to yourself!
Congrats on getting down to the 212.6# and you are heading to get out of the 200s...not far to go to be able to say 199#. That sounds like a whole new world! YOU GO GIRL!
woo hoo, 212.6 and going lower, great job!!! good idea about getting your ring fixed as a \"reward\"for your hard work. the stones set in a new ring sounds good. way to go! hugsss
My wedding band has been stretched and is no longer uncomfortable but not falling off yet. I\'m not sure how weak the resizing makes them but it won\'t cost anything to show a jeweler your ring and ask about the possibilities.
As for you measurements, you could have developed some muscle that is causing your hips to read as larger. If you\'ve been doing more walking or other lower body exercise that could be the case.
When I first started doing the plank challenge (the first time) back in the spring, my waist grew because my core was getting stronger faster than I was burning off the extra fat. I was frustrated too but it is nice to be stronger.
If you keep exercising you\'ll get rid off the extra you don\'t like and have a toned butt to show off as a bonus. ; )
Congratulations on how well you are doing with your weight loss. You could put a space saver(not sure if that\'s the right term) on the ring for a bit til you lose weight again. Yes I agree a new ring for a reward ....
Glad you had a nice time with Lisa. How is your foot doing?
My foot is doing better... I was bad and walked to the clinic and back instead of taking the bus. It was *hot* 90 something degrees and high humidity. It\'s only 1/3 mile, but I got too ambitious.
best of luck with the weight loss. i stopped eating boxed food because it was making my face NUMB and the brain surges and all that. maybe i\'ll lose weight from not buying frozen dinners. lol.
congratulations to your friend and best of luck to her. how is your foot? xxoo
