So I took a few days off from posting....life got in the way. I haven't weighed myself since my inital post and honestly I don't think I'd see a difference. I've been looking at my eating habits and though not excellent, they are not really unhealthy. There is room for improvement like incorporating more fresh fruits and veggies. I have to eat whole grains as I have digestive issues so I'm good there and because of those same issues I can't have fried foods. So it's back to portion sizes again. I don't over eat unless it's something sweet, so even with fruits in mind I could go over board. I'm trying to work on incorporating more walking into my daily routine...it's tough when you have to be to work by 8am but are up at 7am to make lunch for your husband and feed your 1 year old breakfast before being whisked off to daycare. I am late to work most mornings.

So I had a huge confidence booster the other evening. One of my customers point blankly called me HOT! I was dumbfounded and flabbergasted. I couldn't even sputter out a "thank you" or "no I'm not". His buddies even looked at him funny, like it's not something he says to a woman often and they weren't laughing like it was a joke. The conversation continued like this:
  • Him: Are you married?
  • Me: Yes
  • Him: Happily?
  • Me: Very much so
  • Him: Good for you, you've got a lucky husband
So I know looks are not everything...so I wonder how lucky my husband thinks he is? I haven't gotten to rehash this converstation with him yet...he's not a morning conversationalist so I will bring it up this afternoon after we both get home from work. He's always on me about my weight and has only called me beautiful once in my life....though I do wonder what he is thinking when his eyes glaze over as he is looking at me when he doesn't think I am looking at him. This the man that calls me fat and then laughs. On the other hand, I just think it's funny that someone would think me hot, not just so so, or pretty or beautiful but hot! Probably won't ever hear that one again. Oh yea and this wasn't an ugly man saying this either. Wonder what he would think when I lose this stubborn weight and tone up.

To end this post I finally scheduled an appointment with my doctor to have my thyroid checked. Sluggish thyroid (I know there is a proper name for it) runs in my family. My mother was diagnosed finally when she was in her late 40's. I've developed issues she has much earlier than her so why not develop this one as well. We'll see what the doctor has to say on Monday.
