Man, am I tired! I've had 2 very busy days at work, with more than a few 'surprises' thrown at me by clients. I gotta say, again, "People wear me the F**k out!" For the folks that don't know me, I'm what's known as a social introvert. I like people, but in small doses, and with a great deal of recovery time (alone!) in between. These last 2 days, between the dramas of my co-workers, and my clients, I'm ready to curl up in my bed for the next 24 hours with the blankets over my head.
After a week of warmer-than-usual temperatures, a cold front is moving through tonight. When I got out of work (last one to leave today), it was gloomy and eerily quiet. There was very little traffic on the roads, and just a hushed feeling to the whole area.
A while back, I ordered some mixes from a company called, "Low Carb Food Company". They make a wide variety of low carb products. I reviewed the tempura batter mix before, but it's been quite a while. Last night I was craving shrimp tempura, so I hauled out the mix. It really is quite good! It's not the light, airy, crispy tempura you'll find at restaurants, but at only .5 net carbs per serving, it satisfies the craving very nicely. Granted, dipping sweet potato and onion slices in it kind of blows the macros, but they were what I had on hand, and made a satisfying complement to the shrimp. And, apparently, didn't make me blow up.
So, while my weight is wavering up and down, I'm seeing other signs on my body that tell me I'm still losing fat. Sadly, it's mostly new hang-y skin in new places. :/ When I hold up my forearms, there is a new flap of wrinkly skin that hangs down. My upper abdomen has new lines of sag. And the ring that I've worn for over 20 years now spins around my finger on its own, and is getting uncomfortable to wear. So...um...yay? LOL!
I have to keep reminding myself that I'm doing this for health, NOT for appearance. Today, I wore some new silk pants in size S/M. I can't even remember the last time I was able to fit into something like that! I bought them at Goodwill for 3.99, and didn't notice until I put them on this morning that the front has a fly with one button in the center. I think they're actually men's pajama pants! ROFL! The waist is elastic with a drawstring, but then there's this single button fly... Meh, I wore them to work anyway, because they're elegant silk, and so comfortable, it's like wearing nothing at all. XD
Enough rambling for tonight. I'm toddling off to bed and covers over my head.
Wishing you all strength and success,
~Kes
