Day 42: TWENTY-ONE

I'm officially down 21 pounds as of this morning, which makes me a little over 17% of the way to my (initial) goal! All of my once-too-tight clothes fit again, I'm sleeping better, which may or may not be related, and I'm feeling pretty proud. I rarely, if ever, feel deprived, particularly since I got crafty, and have something to do with my hands. I finished my first cross-stitch tonight, and it looks pretty good, if I do say so myself.

On the left is a current picture, although, I really don't think there's that much noticeable difference. People do keep asking if I've colored my hair (I haven't), so I think they are noticing something, but can't put their fingers on it. On the right, is a previous, similarly posed photo from May, as a comparison. As far as I can tell, my cheekbones are more extreme, and my chin is pointier. Maybe my neck looks longer? Possibly my boobs are smaller? I don't know. I do know that I'm wearing the same jeans in both pictures, but they are far more comfortable in the one on the left.

J. went to the doctor today, and she was quite impressed with his weight loss, and is considering taking him off of some of his medications, if his various labs continue to improve.

Onward!
